about

A masterful hip-hop track that combines samples from the Notorious BIG's "The What" and hard vocals to describe a minute in the life of a New Yorker.

lyrics

ITS THE HIP HOP BABY
coming through with the crystal ball
Shaking it and spinning just to see what all you bitches on
As usual
Aint shit
Fine I guess I'm moving on
Smashed the crystal to the pavement
And I crush it to the floor
Take a walk down on the boulie
See the hustlers they shifty
every other nigga
Wanna piece of me
They say I'm food
Bad attitude
I'm fucking rude
And me a seh dem wasteman
Dem nah caan pump through
I take souls in a new york minute
Grace I never fucking give it
Spitting on yo spirit
Pussy nigga im the illest.
When I pop up at the corner store
I need a lucy and a leaf
And a turkey sandwich on a roll
Cut my shit in two piece
Damn I'm really chewing bitches
need a new pair of Tims
So when I stomp down on haters
It's gone leave a blueprint
bout to duck off on the train
And disappear like poof bitch
