I wanna go to New York

[Hook]
I wanna go to New York and take a walk down Sedgwick Avenue and then go to Crotona Park
I wanna fly to New York and buy a dog while I'm writin my name in graffiti on the wall

[Verse 1: The Ranger]
I wanna hit the big apple on a rapper tour. Not rappin, but trackin what happened at New York
I wanna see where the deejays did the deeds and the b-boys hopped to the hip shit that he played
Spit routines on the boulevard of Linden. Drop some lines from the life of the Phifer in rememberance
Don't forget the legends. Mention 'em and reference. Still should respect em even though Run is a reverend
I wanna be at Def Jam for a session. Question a professor, outside Mosque Number 7
I wanna stand where Melle Mel sent out The Message. Checkin out all the rap related place addresses
I wanna go to a show at the Apollo. I wanna flow to a dope beat in a borough
I wanna stop and pour a drop at the spot where the officers shot Amadou Diallo
Pay respects to the slain, have to make it a day. Hip hop undertakers they been rakin in pay
I don't pray just wanna lay a bouquet, in the place Jam Master Jay got taken away

[Hook]
I wanna go to New York and take a walk down Sedgwick Avenue and then go to Crotona Park
I wanna fly to New York and buy a dog while I'm writin my name in graffiti on the wall

[Verse 2: The Ranger]
I'm gonna go to Rucker Park and hit a basket, then after, Shimmy Shimmy Ya for Dirty Bastard
I'm gonna spend a whole December day in Hollis, and then I'll play Super Nintendo with little Wallaces
I'm gonna reach out to Rikers Island, try to break the ice and get the lifers smilin
Do The Right Thing, I might bring a pizza, for Radio Raheem, Buggin Out and Mother Sister
Click a pic of Slick Rick up at a party. Get Doug E Fresh and acapella Ladi Dadi
Won't cause trouble, won't bother nobody just loan Camp Lo some lucini for the bubbly
Came to boogie down, so I hope the Bronx'll love me. Rent a room in Queens with Jaffe Joffer right above me
