My version of "New York, New York" by Tha Dogg Pound. Thanks for listening.

lyrics

(Intro)
Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh
Small city of dreams
The energy in the Burgh, it ain’t good for the scene
You might get fooled if you stay in this town
But I ain’t bound by ya’ll cuz I’m from the Get Down

(Verse 1)
(Get down!) Gang shit every time that I rep,
Can’t expand here cuz minds ain’t got no depth,
blood sweat tears I poured, tryna lift it up,
it ain’t football or beer? nobody give a fuck...
Facts I ain’t givin ya’ll a tall tale,
Can’t survive when divided in a small-scale,
They separate into teams and detach,
Everyone who want clout fiend for the scraps… (for da scraps)
Played yo they got REASUN to chase
Meanwhile egomaniacs keepin the gate… (uh huh)
They could ignore the next Socrates,
Cuz they love to applaud mediocrity
'stead of pushin cats rest on they laurels
Got sucked in now I can’t invest in the quarrels,
So I’m leavin takin a oath,
Others stunt, cuz they incapable of growth...
Hip hop in my double helix,
refute that yo can’t support the thesis,
furious hit em w/ the re-remix,
They’ll try to write my channel off as a sneak diss,
showed love but they pushin in a wild way,
assassin dealin w/ Chucky that shit is child’s play…
They hop online and get to ravin
Fed the beast so I’ll give em what they cravin

(Hook)
Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh
Small city of dreams
The energy in the Burgh, it ain’t good for the scene
You might get fooled if you stay in this town
But I ain’t bound by ya’ll cuz I’m from the Get Down
Too much, I served too many people, too much
Uh ha ha ha
Uh too much, I served too many people
but when I finish workin ya’ll can see this sequel (2x)

(Verse 2)
Do this really be what life is?
Yeah I remember when it wasn’t always like this
So many flops I was lookin at retirement
Rebuilt but they tear apart like a zionist
artists ain’t gonna thrive in this environment
Made my bed here how long am I gonna lie in it?
Instead of complainin I take action
See the snake tracks I’m thru w/ the play-actin
Fake jacks threatened by the main attraction
Stop smilin in my face when we passin
w/ friends like these who need a nemesis?
Tried to discredit the one who providin benefits (that's real)
Heard about the greener pastures…
I’m tired of bein treated like a bastard,
All the underminers that I had to dodge
listen all of ya’ll it’s self-sabotage
I follow the code ya’ll turn snitches
So I’ma turn this to the city of burned bridges
I’m off to a true community
Now I know respect due to me like an annuity
For da groupies in the back say it louder
Acknowledge like Nas & Ace I gave you power,
Hope you enjoyed: my vexed presentation
The universe gon show the next destination

Hook (2x)
