[00:59.40]On the L we're doing swell

[01:01.45]On the number ten bus we fight and fuss

[01:03.90]Because we're thorough in the boroughs

[01:05.50]And that's a must

[01:06.69]I remember when the

[01:07.49]Deuce was all porno flicks

[01:09.08]Running home after school to play pix

[01:11.65]At lunch

[01:12.22]I'd go to blimpies down on

[01:13.54]Montague Street

[01:14.50]And hit the Fulton Street Mall

[01:15.57]For the sneakers on my feet

[01:16.84]Dear New York,

[01:18.11]I hope you're doing well

[01:19.43]I know a lot's happen and you've been through hell

[01:21.92]So, we give thanks for providing a home

[01:48.98]Got thrown out

[01:50.18]Sneaking' in at 4 AM

[01:51.54]After going out

[01:52.78]They didn't rob me in the park at

[01:54.22]Dianna Ross

[01:55.35]But everybody started looting

[01:56.64]When the lights went off

[01:57.98]From the South

[01:58.79]South Bronx on out to

[02:06.97]Live At Five

[02:08.30]Dear New York

[02:09.33]This is a love letter

[02:10.57]To you and how you brought us together

[02:13.23]We can't say enough about all you do

[02:15.56]Because in the city we ourselves and electric too

[02:18.19]
[Chorus]

[02:28.92]

[02:48.82]Shout out to

[02:49.97]South Bronx where my mom hails from

[02:51.66]Right next to High Bridge across from Harlem

[02:54.35]To the Grand Concourse where my mom and dad met

[02:56.73]Before they moved on down to the

[02:58.50]Upper West

[02:59.13]I see you're still strong after all that's gone on

[03:01.81]Lifelong we dedicate this song

[03:04.69]Just a little something to show some respect

[03:06.96]To the city that blends and mends and tests

[03:09.57]Since 911, we're still living

[03:12.21]And loving life we've been given

[03:14.92]Ain't nothing going to take that away from us

[03:16.96]Were looking pretty and gritty

[03:18.46]Because in the city we trust

[03:19.91]Dear New York

[03:21.14]I know a lot has changed

[03:22.36]Two towers down but you're still in the game

[03:24.93]Home to many rejecting no one

[03:27.44]Accepting peoples of all places, wherever they from

[03:30.65]
[Chorus]X2

[03:50.96]

[04:16.92]THE END
