[Intro]
~#**************#~
Geyeah, NYMP the realest, uhh
~#**************#~
This is educated thug MU-SIC, niggas
~#**************#~
[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
Lifes a battle, mean streets eat you alive
~#**************#~
Blocksll have you, tryin to maintain your course
~#**************#~
Through the potholes and gravel
~#**************#~
Hot holes and what-have-you, tryin to clock dough
~#**************#~
Foes tryin to pop shots through you by code
~#**************#~
Pigs tryin to grab you and lock up your soul
~#**************#~
Through the Hot Apple, nighttime shots crackle
~#**************#~
(Bucka-bucka-bucka) Fiends tryin to gaffle you
~#**************#~
Not only coke heads but the Feds in the Mercury Topaz
~#**************#~
After you, up the avenue
~#**************#~
Tryin to give you big numbers, you got math to do
~#**************#~
Tryin to make you miss summer, shit, that aint cool
~#**************#~
I caught smaller cases tryin to get capital
~#**************#~
Up against the wall, tryin to pass through
~#**************#~
Ghost-like, hear the cries from the tortured souls
~#**************#~
Most nights, I hold my toast tight, and it goes like
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Uhh, N.Y.M.P., the realest niggas

[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
Yo, I come through, gettin money, sittin on twenties
~#**************#~
Niggas throwin me shade, but aint shit sunny
~#**************#~
Hot shells only thing niggas could get from me
~#**************#~
Cocktails thrown in your livin room, KA-BOOM!
~#**************#~
Im so confrontational
~#**************#~
They shoulda never let me go on probation yo
~#**************#~
Im a hustler, except that..
~#**************#~
No correctional facilities can correct that
~#**************#~
I took a step back, I viewed myself, seen where my head was at
~#**************#~
Its where that dough is homie, gotta get that
~#**************#~
Gotta get away, some try but head back
~#**************#~
Uhh, street smart niggas got left back
~#**************#~
Some died, they left stacks
~#**************#~
Me, I ball right, and on top of that Im dog nice
~#**************#~
Jigga been cold as fuck before ice
~#**************#~
Not before Christ, but a long fuckin time
~#**************#~
Get your mind right niggas
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
N.Y.M.P., the realest
~#**************#~
Uh-huh-uh-UHH, N.Y.M.P., the realest niggas
~#**************#~
Uhh uh-huh, uh-UHH, N.Y.M.P. the realest niggas
~#**************#~
Marcy.. feel me..
~#**************#~
[Verse 3]
~#**************#~
I looked death in the face years back
~#**************#~
I held tears back, I gathered myself and stared back
~#**************#~
Im from where you dont crack, the weak dont live
~#**************#~
You gotta bounce back homie, the streets dont give
~#**************#~
I take and rape villages, who gon stop him?
~#**************#~
Not Rudy Giuliani, not Hillary Rodham
~#**************#~
Still I still pop him
~#**************#~
Shit, I grassy knoll and hilltop him, its all political now
~#**************#~
I think big when I spit at you now
~#**************#~
Between my dog and the figures, the four gonna getcha
~#**************#~
Between life and death, they killed my spirit
~#**************#~
So what little life I got left, yall can expect me to ball
~#**************#~
I empowered myself, teacher said I was a lost cause
~#**************#~
‘Cause I used to roam them halls
~#**************#~
Still I spit knowledge, dropped out of high school, skipped college
~#**************#~
Who woulda thought Id make it “Big” like Ms. Wallace?
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Uhh, yeah, N.Y.M.P., the realest niggas
~#**************#~
Brooklyn, what? Uhh, N.Y.M.P., the realest niggas
~#**************#~

~#**************#~

~#**************#~
