shay ase - ny back lyrics
verse 1
look
i’m bringing new york back
tell me how you gon be mad
all i do is rep my city
like the way they rep a flag
for my crips and my bloods
and my money hungry thugs
this that ghetto poetry
it’s shay ase come f+ck with me
i ain’t fronting like a thug
but i still maneuver streets
never martin luther king
but i’m repping a dream, yeah
it’s what we need
yeah it’s what we need
giving up the culture
wait what the f+ck do you mean
corner stores to shopping malls
5th ave to the holes in the walls
brothers blasting music
everybody bumping in their cars
bright lights to the darkest alleys
get high then head to remedy
love it or hate it
i still rep my whole city
hopping in the l train at 14th st
i take it all the way home, canarsie
but i rep my whole city
from the bronx even queens
for my sunday service goers
to get it by all means
chorus
i’m bringing new york back (oooh, yea yea)
i’m bringing new york back
i’m bringing new york back
that is why that i sound like that
that is why that i move like that
yeah yeah
i’m bringing new york back (oooh, yea yea)
i’m bringing new york back
i’m bringing new york back
and you know you can’t be mad
and you know you can’t be mad
yeah yeah
i’m bringing new york back (oooh, yea yea)
i’m bringing new york back
look, i’m bringing new york back
that is why that i sound like that
that is why that i move like that
i’m bringing new york back (oooh, yea yea)
i’m bringing new york back
i’m bringing new york back
and you know you can’t be mad
and you know you can’t be mad
verse 2
look, you see that it’s a difference
living in different sections
whole foods on their block
but on mine it’s another dimension
school buildings feel like prison
and there is no protection
two different worlds
and it’s only cross the intersection
that’s ny for you
lemme show you what we gon do
that’s ny for you
people out here steady schooling you
yea, we set the tone
gotta let one thing be known
this is home and it’s something that i will never disown
this is my city
and yeah, it has its bad
not everyone is friendly
just don’t get used to that
yeah n+gga i get it
started us in detention
shipping us into prison
call it mass incarceration
that’s why
we organize
n y
strategize
n y
love my city
there is no faking
tryna move us out
and our culture they are taking
nah there’s no debating
f+ck your gentrification
chorus
i’m bringing new york back
that is why i move like that
yeah, i’m bringing new york back
that is why i sound like that
yeah, yeah
i’m bringing new york back
that is why i move like that
i’m bringing new york back
that is why i sound like that
yeah, yeah
i’m bringing new york back
and you know you can’t be mad
look, i’m bringing new york back
and you know you can’t be mad
i’m bringing new york back
and you know you can’t be mad
i’m bringing new york back
and you know you can’t be mad
