napoleon da legend - african in ny lyrics

verse 1:
don’t rock sandals i rock timberlands/ wear a skully to the side
you can see it in the motions when i walk/ i’m an african in new york
see me cruising down the fdr/ with a dime piece in the ride
you can hear it when i talk/ i’m an africa in new york

chorus
ohh ohh – i’m an alien an illegal alien/ i’m an african in new york
ohh ohh – i’m an alien and my name’s napoleon/ i’m an african in new york

verse 2:
from the village to the streets/ from feeling the heat/ to feeling chills down my spine from the winter breeze/ trynna make my money stretch like a centipede/ and leave a legacy longer than the kennedy’s/ i need a green card without the legal fees/ my senegalese connects said he can get it for me legally/ my cousin wired me money to buy him jeans/ trynna figure out how to get a bank account without an id/ d-mn things work differently here/ diamonds come out the ground they get it from tiffany’s here/ and when you’re down and out/ you don’t get no sympathy here/ got a melody in my head like an epiphany here/ man/ i make a penny double/ i make a dime triple/ quadrupling a quarter i’m a man of many hustles/ i’m making solid connects for the dollars and cents/ so when you meet the god acknowledge and respect

chorus

verse 3:
money makes the man as someone said/ so we hustle to get paid
takes a man to sacrifice for years and smile/ be yourself no matter what they say
be yourself no matter what they say/ be yourself no matter what they say
it’s like this yall/ for my brothers on the block/ from the gutter to the top
know we keeping our pockets flooded to the top/ keep our brains sharp from hustling a lot/ open up shop anywhere customers will flock
