A is for the apple Take a bite and spit it out B is for bodega Eating on your mama couch Low bazooka with a Puerto-Rican chula Says she working in the city and she getting mula C is for the crib The cats that call you catch Cbgb's babies sneaking Blondie through the back D is for the downtown kids that's hittin' licks Skater boys in the park tryna f*ck some white chicks E is for the East Side Ruff Ryde', ride or die Motorbikes from every side, flying down the FDR Breaking dutches in the car G is for the ghetto girl in Rainbow clothes Baby hairs and well done toes Single mothers carry those Bummy sneakers, what are those? Get in going, golden go Hunts Point got the hottest hoes Inner city tragic woes Splattered street, the bloody holes Shorty dancing on the pole Casually it's casual, B Bloody hands with the anatomy Jehovah witness at your door Acting like nobody home Tv off, all alone Kick the door, mama Jonesin' on the phone Bata and a doobie on Waiting on her tax return Low lives lighting L's Pouring down for ones they love Tompkins Square, lower east Delancey for the deli meats You don't come to C or D I'm in Manhattan like I'm Woody Allen Jewish, Puerto-Rican and a little bit Italian Sitting on the steps outside the Natural History New York fucking City and I love the history Everything a melting pot Every block is fucking hot 83rd the train stop Open cases old as shorty braces Pick you up on warrant squad Now they running faces Pick you up by the park We was voguing by the pier Paris burning full of Queens Hit the Village every year Rollin' now to the rave Village Voice, six page I was diving off the stage Going out every day Stickball in the summer, you know it's summertime Schomburg, eatin' soul food, singing Doo-Wop every night Subway trains goin' by Squad is sittin' St. Marks Shooting up in Tompkins park Know it's dirty after dark Tunnels taking turns, playing tag on the curb Touchin' on some titties, taking change out your purse Undercover agents, I can spot a mile away Yo, I hate the fucking cops, NYPD get away Underground on MTA Close my eyes and ride the train Back and forth on every day, anywhere, anyway Xerox copied Zines stapled onto poser trees Got a show, come and see New York is the place to be Where you go and live your dreams Livin' in the city you can't be a xenophobe This the melting pot, and the soup is never cold Young lords, young lords They live inside of me I got a problem, B, with white supremacy Rollin' through my zip code One-double zero-two-nine Abc's of New York, and I'll be doing fine
