Lyrics of New York Drums (Vocal Version) by DJ East 137

I still love New York,
You can spot in the BX, walking the talk
It′s like... no matter where I be
I'm still digging roots into NYC... listen!
The streets keep calling
Pondering the days just can′t stop recalling
Even tough times were good times,
The only exceptions were dark times
Sixteen floors from ground,
Elevator broke let me expound
Although we push peaceful,
Wax the floor with your backside if we need to
Official BX way,
Don't ask too many questions its' better that way
While you ponder the relevance
Stand by allow me to misplace the evidence
Gotta drop six digits or we can′t stay
Father is the bricks in the BX
Fourteen years, hustle is a reflex
I walk like I own this town
Pro BX, got deep roots into this ground
Been voted, Puerto Rock reason to look back
I′m trying to tell you some things you can't take back
Boogie Down Survives, no matter what it goes through, it keeps the vibe
That means Hip Hop for life, life is Hip Hop and Hip Hop is life
The eighties is still to blame, that′s how certain things remain the same,
We all look back, wishing we could have one of them nights back
It was the six of December,
Damn if it ain't a day I′ll always remember,
We like limousine rides
But that was the day a Bronx champion died
It's been taking me a minute
Such is life, but everyone dwells in that minute
I can tell you don′t know about hip hop,
Palladium, Fun House, the Bronx, that's hip hop
This can't ever be disputed,
Many have tried all end up reputed
You can watch me on the tech′s each weekend
Rarely take a break, yes every single weekend
Never letting go of the belt
Could have said it nicer but that′s not how I felt
I create to make waves
This one's a rouge had to misbehave
Bobylon′s in the club they stick out,
Paid to see who's up in the game and then roll out
Another page in the hip hop binder
Justice like a needle it′s so hard to find her
I aim to be the best at this
And the way they sit still makes it hard to miss
Used to think that this world couldn't break me
Living strong now cause the thought never left me
Boogie Down Survives, no matter what it goes through, it keeps the vibe
That means Hip Hop for life, life is Hip Hop and Hip Hop is life
The eighties is still to blame, that′s how certain things remain the same,
We all look back, wishing we could have one of them nights back
