New York (Ya Out There) - Rakim[00:04:02]
[from the movie _wildstyle_[00:04:02]
If you was born in new york city let me hear say "you know that"![00:04:02]
You know that[00:04:02]
Aiyyo, once upon a rhyme where the scenery sets, you see stress[00:04:02]
Streets a matter of life and death, no regrets[00:04:02]
Life's a test, strife, wit special effects[00:04:02]
Neighbourhood's full of reps, cities are projects[00:04:02]
Where the young cadets get stripes from the vets[00:04:02]
And comrades quest to be the next, to finess[00:04:02]
Collect debts and select bets with death threats[00:04:02]
Object - chedder, better your total net[00:04:02]
Where trends are set from ways to express the outfits[00:04:02]
Friends get wet tryin' to make ends connect[00:04:02]
Avenues to check, boulevards to sweat[00:04:02]
The smell of gunsmoke more common than cigarettes[00:04:02]
We got clicks for wreck[00:04:02]
We like pits for pets[00:04:02]
We got giants and jets, the knicks, yanks and mets[00:04:02]
We like much respect and sex extra wet[00:04:02]
And high-tech dialect you ain't catch yet[00:04:02]
(the bronx[00:04:02]
Ya out there?[00:04:02]
No doubt[00:04:02]
Brooklyn[00:04:02]
Ya out there)[00:04:02]
[rakim[00:04:02]
Aiyyo, we got blocks and glocks with[00:04:02]
Big shots with big knots and big props[00:04:02]
Yo this is where the b******t stops[00:04:02]
Where herbs get got[00:04:02]
If you snitch you get shot[00:04:02]
We get down and leave the town in a state of shock[00:04:02]
We got dangerous hang out spots and slick cops[00:04:02]
Place called riker's island where kids get locked[00:04:02]
A lotta gear to rock with blocks of clothes shops[00:04:02]
Styles are top notch, this is the place to buy[00:04:02]
So bust the box the radio station is hot[00:04:02]
Ease your mind staring at skylines from rooftops[00:04:02]
Flip scripts for chips[00:04:02]
And new whips of the lot[00:04:02]
Quick to call a shot, pollitic with thick plots[00:04:02]
And eh, carnegie niggers a see what we got[00:04:02]
To make sure the core of the big apple don't rot[00:04:02]
Where seeings believing we be achieving a lot[00:04:02]
Since disc jocks created hip hop, check it out![00:04:02]
(queens[00:04:02]
Ya out there?[00:04:02]
No doubt[00:04:02]
Manhatten[00:04:02]
No doubt[00:04:02]
New york city[00:04:02]
Staten island[00:04:02]
New york new york[00:04:02]
Long island[00:04:02]
New york[00:04:02]
Ya out there)[00:04:02]
[rakim[00:04:02]
Aiyo, we got five bouroughs of ghettos[00:04:02]
With amny places to meet, you get lost in city streets[00:04:02]
The city that never sleeps[00:04:02]
Mecca ? medina the population increase[00:04:02]
The desert and the oasis, new york, the far east[00:04:02]
With gods and sheiks[00:04:02]
Pretty amazons for weeks[00:04:02]
Player dons that fleece the family's black sheep[00:04:02]
Icons that teach that we all act unique[00:04:02]
We got stats to reach so we all have to eat[00:04:02]
A mass of peeps, with they own masterpiece[00:04:02]
The crafts elite, we going past the beat[00:04:02]
The latest technique no other place get as deep[00:04:02]
Who parks release some of the worlds greatest athletes[00:04:02]
Djs and mcs and graffiti artistes[00:04:02]
Who use walls and subway trains for marquees[00:04:02]
We go back to b-boys, breakdancing, breakbeats[00:04:02]
And it'll never cease and on that note[00:04:02]
We say peace[00:04:02]
