[Angie]
Uhh.. uhh.. yo-yo, uhh, yo

They say it ain't where you from that it's where you at
But where I'm from, y'all can tell
Don't matter where I'm at
Born and bred in the streets of New York, New York
It's evident in the way that I talk-a-talk
I travel abroad by the Concorde, with a Clue tape (Clue!)

Stop in Sicily and tell 'em they pizza fake
And I keep the faith in the Knicks, them fuckers
And I'm quick to get slick with the lip
And word to mother
Love a dude with a doo-rag from where we suffer
From growing up too fast

I'm a rude ass bitch when I need to be
But I'm cool as shit if you real with me, you feelin me?
I never sleep like my city
When it's time to get this money

Got game, spot game
So don't act funny (hah hah)
We the block, we the ave
We the Bronx, we Manhattan
From Staten, to Long Island
We make it happen, out in

[Hook: Prodigy] + Clue {​ad libs}​

[Prodigy]
Nigga we gangsta, we dress to kill
We on some real live Mobb shit, pullin up in trucks flossing
The bosses, we scare 'em straight, it's not a game
How we bully shit, you fuck around and get your food ate boy
My razor make your face ke-loid
Then I throw my drink at you (woo!) just to make that shit burn

We make heads turn when we step in
You starin at my piece swinging
It might hypnotize you
Dunn, we never had to tuck our chains
Marquis diamonds all up in your face
We the hood, we the projects, we Brooklyn, we Queens
In the streets, our music is murder, ya heard me?

It's P (yeah) loud and clear
It ain't fair
How I keep droppin that shit that make you look stupid
Me and Angie
Got the hottest shit movin on the block right now
Y'all bitches bow down, to..

[Hook]

[Prodigy]
Yo, we don't negotiate, we move on impulse
You try to insult me and my associates
So that note, we let the guns speak on our behalf
We got dough to keep dirt up off our hands
C'mon, we the M-O-B-B nigga
We the Mobb
Who the fuck did you think it was?
Step aside youngbloods when you see New York niggas come through
Silent murder, that's how we do

[Angie]
Out in NEW YORK, NEW YORK
Where they tend to wild out
Who am I?
Everything bitches pretend to be about

Angie, yeah baby, you thought it was me
Notoriously, N.Y.C
And y'all can see
I'ma be that chick you remember for life

I got niggas sick trying to make me they wife
I'm in the 5 overdrive as I glide across the bridge
Rockin my sunglasses
Signing pictures for the kids

I demolish from Tribeca to Hollis
+Sky's the Limit+ like Chris Wallace - you can't stop it
Comin through respect due cause I'm the people's choice
Stop actin new yo, cause you know I'm the voice of

[Hook]
