N Y State of Mind Pt ll - Nas[00:00:00]
Uhh[00:00:01]
Yo yo-yo y'all[00:00:02]
Whattup Whattup[00:00:03]
It's time man (Word it's time )[00:00:04]
Straight up it's time man[00:00:07]
Aight set that shit off[00:00:09]
(Set it off then nigga set it off)[00:00:10]
Broken glass in the hallway bloodstained floors[00:00:13]
Neighbors look at every bag you bring through your doors[00:00:14]
Lock the top lock momma shoulda cuffed me to the radiator[00:00:17]
Why not It might've saved later from my block[00:00:21]
N Y cops hookers crawlin off the stroll coughin[00:00:23]
Stitches in they head stinkin and I dread thinkin they be snitchin[00:00:26]
But who else could it be shook at these unmarked vans[00:00:30]
Parked in the dark -- NARC's where's your heart [00:00:33]
Hustlers starve; they bust a U-e I jog[00:00:35]
To my building -- come out later wearin camouflage[00:00:38]
See the sergeant and the captain -- strangle men[00:00:41]
Niggaz gaspin for air; til they move no more and just stare[00:00:43]
With dead eyes -- tired of riots shit is quiet[00:00:46]
Simple-minded fools infiltrate grimy crews[00:00:49]
Overcrowded cribs uncles home from bids sister's pregnant[00:00:52]
Father's on drugs moms is smokin beds is piss-infested[00:00:55]
Had eight partners growin up eight turned to seven[00:00:58]
Seven turned to six niggaz got two in heaven[00:01:02]
Six of us holdin it now it's five rollin thick[00:01:04]
The sixth one's parole flipped; five niggaz went to fo' quick[00:01:07]
When he went O T college life converted into gangbangin[00:01:11]
Four niggaz still hangin years passed and slang changin[00:01:14]
Three of us now fourth nigga ain't around[00:01:17]
We all thought he was real -- he did the snake shit[00:01:20]
Fake shit -- beat his ass down yo his mouth[00:01:22]
Could've got us all wasted what a f**kin clown[00:01:25]
All I got left in the end is two of my best friends[00:01:28]
And we all goin out to the death for these ends WHAT [00:01:31]

The money rate the paper chase youknowhatImean [00:01:51]
New York state of mind baby check it out[00:01:54]
[Nas[00:01:57]
I'm at the gamblin spot my hands on a knot[00:01:58]
New York Yankee cap cover my eyes stand in one spot[00:02:00]
I take a nigga dough send him home to a shoebox[00:02:03]
You lost that nigga I put your dollar in the jukebox[00:02:06]
Hear my favorite song all these niggaz sing along[00:02:09]
All the ciggarette smoke's cloggin my lungs hoodrats flashin they tongue[00:02:12]
Young thugs blastin they gun we got reputations[00:02:15]
Bitches and niggaz both on parole or probation[00:02:18]
Shit is sick niggaz got gats army fatigues[00:02:21]
I got my eyes glued on whoever walk in the lead[00:02:24]
Cause I ain't playin niggaz'll run up in here and shoot up this shit[00:02:27]
Stick yo' ass up niggaz'll find the loot in your kicks[00:02:30]
Bunch of triple-cross niggaz just New York niggaz[00:02:32]
Lift you off your feet when they was just talkin with you[00:02:36]
Some of these dudes the Feds be on em you knew em for years[00:02:38]
Be the type when you walk in a pub they offer you beers[00:02:42]
That ain't gangsta niggaz is up North with tatted tears[00:02:44]
Your name's on the affadavit you ratted kid[00:02:47]
Faggot-ass niggaz that be scared to do they bids[00:02:50]
F**k you we run you out of N Y you can't live[00:02:53]
Got your quiet niggaz that relocated down South[00:02:56]
Comin back to floss then you got the jealous loudmouths[00:02:59]
All of a sudden we got Crips and Bloods D T 's[00:03:02]
Runnin round quick to split your mug it's ea-sy to score[00:03:05]
But it's hard to get the shit off[00:03:08]
Niggaz fightin over hundred sales jump in the car and drive off[00:03:10]
When the fiend come around the block happy as hell[00:03:13]
Niggaz mad cause they ain't get a piece of that sale[00:03:16]
Cutthroat connivers universal ghetto survivors[00:03:20]
Go to any hood that's live and make it liver[00:03:23]
A lot of niggaz scheamin some real some niggaz frontin[00:03:26]
But I'm a big dreamer so watch me come up with somethin[00:03:28]
New York New York[00:03:31]
