Cam'ron Welcome to New York City Lyrics

(feat. Jay-Z & Juel Santana)

[Jay-Z] Turn the m_________ing music up
[Cam'Ron] Just Blaze, man. You owe me n____
[Jay-Z] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Welcome to the Empire State.
Home of the World Trade. Birthplace of Michael Jordan.
Home of Biggie Smalls. Roc-A-Fella headquaters.
Ladies and gentlemen, Killa Cam, Young Hov is definitely in the building
Brooklyn, Harlem World
(Welcome to New York City, welcome to New York City)
Stand the f___ up!

(Jay-Z)
I'm a B.K. brawler
Marcy projects hallway loiterer
Pure c__e copper, get your order up
I bring em to Baltimore in the Ford Explorer
It's gonna cost you more if I gotta get em to Florida
Rucker game attender; with the bent parked
on the sidewalk with temp plates on the fender
I ain't hard to find you catch me frontin center
At the Knick game, big chain and all my splender
Next to Spike and Pam's left to right
I own Madison Square, catch me at the fight
But d___ once again if you pan left at the ice
If you the man that write checks with the hand that don't write
I go off the head when I'm rambling on the mic
And I go off the feds when I'm srambling at night
And if its off the set I brought hammers to the fight
But we from New York City, right Cam? (Cam: Ya d___ right)

(Chorus: Juelz Santana)
It's the home of 9-11, the place of the lost towers
We still banging, we never lost power, tell em
Welcome to New York City, welcome to New York City
Y'all f___in with BK's banger and Harlem's own gangster
Now that's danger, there's nothing left to say but
Welcome to New York City, welcome to New York City

(Cam'Ron)
Yo, theres a war going on outside no man is safe from
It don't matter if you three feet or eight-one
You'll get eight from me, nine and straight blown
Wig split, melon cracked, all that on day one
Carry eight guns, two in the trunk
Two in the waist, two in the ankle, two to just spank you
You can jam with them jammers, blam with them blammers
It's hot here, ask Mase he ran to Atlanta
You think we know what life do, make on the motor-cycle
Drinkers they so delightful, blinging with so much ice
In front of sparks, body cops Dilano
Block away watch by Gotti and Girvano
It's la costra nostra, someone close approach ya
They'll toast ya gopher, bread loaf with shofer
Old c__e they raise up and snort, blayze up ya fort
Jay puff shine, cases was caught
Midnight pick fights, they love a victim
Watch him fore he watch you, Killa

(Chorus)

(Cam'Ron)
I'm from 101, west to Hunt 40th, this s___ is live
Fifth-floor, 56, you know the zip, district five
You're on 22nd, you from two-one
Thats on Lennox, 7th ave was news one

(Jay-Z)
Coverage I synethestry
Got rise from defending me
Cause New York'll miss me if I'm locked in the penitentary
The judge said "Is this that thug, from the kit kat club?"
But I got enough chips stacked up to make a b____ to pack up

(Cam'Ron)
Killa, I pinch that b___on, I grip that snub to hit that thug
Lay up in a pitch black tug,
You lookin at rich black thugs to get that love
And we won't stop til I get back blood
Holla at em Hov

(Jay-Z)
I'm from Flushing, Marcy, Nostrand, Myrtle and Park
n____s'll drive by in the day, murder you in the dark
Thats why the Johnny gun I'm holding
Wet n____s up like the johnny-pump is open
Homie, I play hard

(Chorus)

(Cam'Ron) Yall n____s man, yall can't f___ around man
It's the ROC b____, Killa, my n____ Jigga, Sigel, Beans
Diplomats man, holla, Dash
Get the f___ off our d___s
I own this s___ right now man, I ain't going nowhere
