Escape from New York, escape from New York
Escape from New York, escape from New York
Escape from New York, escape from New York
Escape from New York, escape from New York
A twenty-one gun salute ain't nearly enough
For some old shit this rough
D-Dawg, baby paw, watch this prediction
As we escape from New York, we'll see a whole lot of fiction
Drug dealers wanna be rappers, and rappers frontin drugs
Big Williness is silliness if you still live at home
You be tyin' up the lotto, mom, dudes holla for
Tell your gentlemen I'm here, the Great X has gone no-no
Shotgun partner D-Dawg, bring that thing PR
So we can swing PR, together us three we are
Tryin to keep pace in the great rap race
New York's a crazy place, my girl just caught a case
If you wanna feel the pleasure Prince is provin it's on
My hair is now on a little higher than a baldy
Came to lace up the wax with Pete and D-Dawg Poire
From the Vernon to New Rochelle, or the Rolling Cliffs of Dover
It ain't over 'til it's over, it ain't over 'til it's over
Listen up son, niggas wanna talk the talk
But can you walk the walk? New York, New York
For the thugs and players, money, sex and rhyme sayers
Listen up son, niggas wanna talk the talk
But can you walk the walk? New York, New York
For the thugs and players, money, sex and rhyme sayers
And I'm out, reachin for the bigger and the better
More advanced to the letter, type obsessive with the pressure
Escapin like some brothers with triple life
AWOL on the run from the man, I got a plan
For real though, I wanna get this dough on the strength, yo
The next plateau, movin up, yup, fuck a ho
And take it slow, cause that's the only way to flow
I rock a show and then it's back to the rest, so
Stay out of my zone, cause I'm stressin the facts
Seekin stacks of those plaques, and the boom and twenty sacks
Relax, maybe when I'm looted, mad booted in my mansion
Dirty dancin like Ace of Buchanan jammin
Totally the opposite of famine, straight slammin
And you know I gots to have the cannon
For all false, that talk the talk, but can you walk the walk?
Escape from New York!
So listen up son, niggas wanna talk the talk
But can you walk the walk? New York, New York
For the thugs and players, money, sex and rhyme sayers
Listen up son, niggas wanna talk the talk
But can you walk the walk? New York, New York
For the thugs and players, money, sex and rhyme sayers
All hail the Great X has turned to king
Let the caged bird sing and let the gauge take the stage
Life's a hard hump for the average man
Especially cause my skin's much darker than tan
Goddamn, Uncle Sam, you evaded the gram
Now you wanna front and act like you don't know about the plan
But I know, what you're doin to me, you can't win
Escape from New York, don't bring your ass back again
So here we are, the X-Man, PR and the baby paw
On the premises, missionin to finish this
The bonafide buddin, mic-muggin, steady buggin
Breakin backs with stacks and no fear
Solid like stone and the family's sly
Buy and sell, live well and make bail
A single pop, or hip-hop mingle life
Just for the sport, kid, escape from New York
So listen up son, niggas wanna talk the talk
But can you walk the walk? New York, New York
For the thugs and players, money, sex and rhyme sayers
Listen up son, niggas wanna talk the talk
But can you walk the walk? New York, New York
For the thugs and players, money, sex and rhyme sayers
And I'm out like that, uhh
Escape from New York, escape from New York
Escape from New York, escape from New York
Escape from New York, escape from New York
Escape from New York, escape from New York
