Lyrics:
Yes, Ai Ye is in Brooklyn, and now I'm in Las Vegas.
I grew up in Brooklyn, and now I'm walking on Tribeca Street.
It's right next to Danillo, but I will always be a good person.
Although Robert De Niro and I became neighbors, I will always be the hip-hop boy.
I'm Sinatra because I'm there.
I am a new generation of Frank Sinatra, because I became famous in new york and I succeeded in the world.
Yes, they like anywhere I like,
Yes, I am successful in the world, and people welcome me everywhere.
AllofmyDominicano ' rightthereuonbroadway，
I used to sell drugs in Harlem and hang out with Dominican brothers.
PullmebacktothatMcDonald 's，tookittomystashbox，560StateSt。
Next to the glitz and noise of Broadway, I think of McKee's fast food restaurant.
I hid the powder there, and of course 560 street.
Catchinthekitchenlikeasimonswippin pastry shop
I mix powder as skillfully as the Simmons sisters make cakes.
The eighth episode. , white Lexus
Now I'm driving my white Lexus on Eighth Avenue.
Drive slowly, but slowly.
Driving leisurely, with Beyonce from Texas.
I'm-I'm Stuj, a housewife.
I started with Bed-Stuy, which is where the motel is located. International group

Now I am a frequent visitor to the bulletin board, and my friends have stepped onto the peak of my life with me.
What are you talking about? Are you still drinking Mai Tai's?
What happened to TyranSmith? How about another mai tai?
Sit on the sidelines and the Knicks give me a high five.
Sitting on the sidelines of Luhang and Madison Square Garden, Knicks players and Nets players gave me a high five.
NiggaIbeSpike'dout，Icouldtripareferee
Wow, I can be a referee like Spike Lee now.
tellby myattitudethati ' mmostdefinitely from
Yes, that's my attitude, because I come from.
In new york,
New York
Where is the dream of concrete castle?
The dream of skyscraper construction
There is nothing you can't do. Now you are in new york.
Since you are in new york, you can do anything.
These streets will make you feel brand new.
New york block brings you back to life.
Ikeepfalling
I've been falling
Biglightswillinspireyou
The neon lights in new york make your blood boil.
