Lyrics:
diamonds in the light
And we're standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine
What it takes to come alive
It's the way I'm feeling I just can't
No wait yo hold up hold up
Now fuck it
One hour flight and I'm captain
Like Jason I'ma take Manhattan
Each ceremony and every seminar
On LMR i'm hard,
lived it by the way
Stay on it by the way, I want it by the way
Take it to your momma's momma house
Where everybody stay, where everybody sleep
Leave
writing rhymes, inspired by Illmatic
I’m still at it, every record I record leave
The record shattered
Cause I’ll be in the lab for a month
Searchin for
incredible views
I know you see one every day in that reflection of you yeah I been reflecting on me my potential suffocated by the way that I see I take
Well I remember every little thing
As if it happened only yesterday
Parking by the lake and there was not another car in sight
And I never had
Well I remember every little thing
As if it happened only yesterday
Parking by the lake and there was not another car in sight
And I never had
type nigga to feel what I write
Special like my classics
Special like my listeners who have attachments
To my old style, won't let me past it
I
(Richard Rodgers/Lorentz Hart)
We'll have Manhattan
The Bronx and Staten Island too
It's lovely going through the Zoo
It's very fancy
On old
We run this, run this, run this
We run this city, city
We'll wear you down, down
Until you're weak and weary, weary
We got it all
But we gon' take
of oxygen
Leave the opposition stuck
Without a pot to piss in
Hockin', spitting up blood
Shark by sharp precision
Dart incision, darkness imparts your vision
I)
Looking to finish need to begin
Never give up never give in
Breaking down walls like in Berlin (break em down)
Take your perspective give it a spin,
it's warmer but New York is used to that already
Manhattan built the cemetaries where the blacks is buried
I take the Staten Ferry I walk to Broadway
And Juliet had her Romeo
And Romeo had Juliet
And Juliette had her Romeo
I'll take Manhattan in a garbage bag
With Latin written on it that says
"it's hard
sunna usne ek dragon
Once upon a time in Manhattan
Once upon a time in Manhattan
Empire state
Dreams state
Sky high
Got the birds view by my eye
I wont
I still can't find
Tell me what you wanna see
Tell me what you want
And I'll take my time
And I'll move it forward now
Do you wanna come with
get with this style
Take it New York bound we're the originators of the rap throwdown
From the Bronx to Manhattan, Brooklyn keep them clappin'
I got
you cradle your guitar
And you will take good care of me, like when you're fixing up you car
And you will love me like the way you loved, the 4th
Them double hockey sticks been hot since the release of the Bible
I swear to god I know she's right but make a left out of spite
It takes finesse to drop
it could happen
I'm from Manhattan where they'll body ya for glances
That's why I wanna leave out this place
It's a race only demons escape
I been
"Manhattan"
Imma be up like a gimlet
Or a vesper for a killing
Go to manhattan for the feeling
Can't see the roof or the ceiling
Imma do it my way, it's old
You can have Manhattan
I know it's for the best
I'll gather up the avenues
And leave them on your doorstep
And I'll tip toe away
So you won't have
not just the glamour, it's grit in the air,
The homeless on the streets, the burdens they bear,
Their souls never leave, reminding you life aint fair,
on a Meeks type beat, it's a madness
When I step in the booth, I leave the mic in pain, that's sadness
You man are a bunch of actors for the cameras But live
