The New Yorker

In my hood
You address me as "Your Majesty"
I’ma show you the nature of freaks
Yeah, we freaks of nature
We freaks of nature
We freaks
In my hood
Locked out of a cage
No sleep
Now we on the loose
Running Wall Street
The wolf dressed as a sheep
We freaks of nature
Yeah, we freaks
Welcome to the ratrace
Fast-paced, two-faced
CEO thrones
It’s a combat zone
You fast or feast
Be the beauty or the beast
Westside to the east
Be the meat or the bone
Guts and glory
You in my territory
This is New York
We in New York City
Fast or feast
Be the beauty or the beast
Westside, eastside
Have the most for the least
In New York City
You address me as “Your Majesty”
I’ma show you the nature of freaks
In New York City
Yeah, we freaks of nature
We freaks of nature
We freaks
Get money
It’s thicker than blood
It’s thicker than water
Get money
Get nickles and dimes
Get pennies and quarters
Make your move
Make it fast
Make your New York penny last
Get money
It’s thicker than blood
The true New Yorker
You skyscrapin’
Or you punchin’ pavement
Makin’ your statement
Or you dyin’ to pay rent
Brave or afraid
Be the player or the played
This is New York
We in New York City
Disguise
Never trust nobody
Keep one open eye
Stay close to your enemy
Shine or fake
You make or break
It’s love or hate
This is New York City
New York City
Locked out of a cage
No sleep
Now we on the loose
Running Wall Street
The wolf dressed as a sheep
We freaks of nature
Yeah, we freaks
