JADAKISS INTERLUDE - Intellectual

[Interlude: Jadakiss]

New York, the real New York, I'm outside

I don't live in Miami, I don't live in Colorado

Come to my block and see me, my niggas

All of y'all know I be down there

This is Kiss, I'm outside

Always D-Block (I like this)

I got a hundred guns, a hundred clips

Nigga, I'm from New York (What?), New York (Yeah)

Ruff Rydin', D-Block and shit

Nigga, fuck what you thought, you thought (A-ha!)

And you can't take shit for granted

'Cause life is too short, too short (Yeah)

I got a hundred guns, a hundred clips (Uh, yeah)

Nigga, I'm from New York (Uh, ah-heh!)

And this is ho—

[Intro: James Brown, DJ Khaled & Jadakiss]

Born in New York City on a Monday

It seems I was out shinin' shoes 'bout two to noon

All the fat cats in the bad hats doing me a real big favor

Forgot the fat cats in the bad hats laying it on real good

When you're down and out in New York City

We Thе Best Music

I am New York, if you ain't with us, Khaled tеll em the rest

Another one

Yeah

DJ Khaled

[Verse: Jadakiss]

I'm B.I.G., Prodigy, DMX and Pun

Killin' niggas for fun, nothin' iller than son

I'ma be collectin' this money long as it come

If I'm behind the barrel, then you in front of the gun (*Gunshot*)

I'm the bullet that struck your limbs

I'm white Air Force 1s, I'm construction Timbs

I'ma do whatever it takes, just enough to win

I'm the one that your man told you not to fuck with him

I'm the single parent household with nothin' in the 'frigerator

Pissy staircases, smell like the incinerator

Grandma in the back, hooked up to the ventilator

Tryin' to chip in and see if we can get some dinner later

In front of the building with a clip full

Garbage piled up, rats size of pit bulls

Either gettin' money or you aren't

Couple parolees, couple niggas with warrants

Couple of hoopties, couple niggas with foreigns

Makin' a movie, a couple niggas is starrin' (Yeah)

But it's just a segment

Somebody got somebody sister pregnant

Dice game, somebody lose, somebody win

Somebody comin' home, somebody is goin' in

Everybody 'bout that action, we don't do talk

You already know what it is, this is New York

[Outro: James Brown]

Down and out in New York City

That's New York City

New York City
