Текст (слова) песни: Masta Ace -    Big City

 
[Masta Ace] 
`New York, Big City of Dreams` 
to get by, cats doing plenty of things 
it`s a honest hustle, but you gotta have some kind of muscle 
either it`s that or you sign with Russel 
`cause nowadays an average cat can flow decent 
so in your sparetime you can go to the precinct 
let me introduce you to some cats who won`t shoot you 
everyday they`re spinnnin their pen it`s so crucial 
they got kids to feed, wifes to hug 
their jobs are so strange, their lifes above 
look, my nigga Al had a store in his trunk 
and the place under the dash where he store his pump 
he had them white and white `Air Force Ones` for 40 ($) 
and them iddy-biddy-kiddy ones for shorty 
he was just trying to survive to the session 
now he`s locked up for stolen goods and gun posession 
my nigga Neek had them first for cheek 
he bough a too family home and excursion jeep 
but word got around he was doing it big 
cops ran up in his crib, now he`s doing a bit 
now Jose was making money hand over biz 
he had legimated jobs with a little bit of a twist 
besides me and my man, I`ve known people 
he sold stuff too, out of the back of home deepo 
everything from new tools to kitchen sinks 
and he was just trying to get rich as stinks 
`cause now he lost his job and his morgage due 
and he can`t afford a lawyer, man law gets through, oooh 
we were lying on skeems and skams 
just so we could realize our dreams and plans, man 
this ain`t America is it? 
it don`t take much for the cops to come pay you a visit 
but do what you gotta do, fuck them laws 
life is a test you better up them scores 
listen, I ain`t trying to survive, I`m trying to life 
and here is some advise I been dying to give 
they don`t care if you sell it to inner section 
republicans run for officers when ellection 
who`s in the inner section, see my pen errecting 
this for my cats that just been effecting 
from ground sillawats, it`s down steal the spots 
it won`t stop untill we`re down kill the cops 
it`s a revolution, you believe in god, a evolution 
either way dog, we need a resolution like Aaliyah 
a man got sentenced to a year 
and when he get out, it`s another street career 
it`s a vicious cycle 
for every kid who ball in the park and wish he might do 
listen the world don`t like you, but 
you better keep it moving, you better keep improving 
you love my voice, ain`t it deep insolvent 
I`m saying fuck fame, I`m having a no-name 
platinum and gold chain, and saying 
I`ma beat `em at their own game
