T.O.N.Y. refers to Top Of New York and this track talks about being on top in the City that Never Sleeps through drug metaphors.
In an interview in Complex Magazine, Noreaga explains the origin of the song’s hook and title:
“This is the totally honest story: They was like, ’Nore you got to do the...
[Intro]
From Iraq to Kuwait, word up, Desert Station, regulation
CNN, channel 10, once again...wha-wha!
[Chorus]
T-O-N-Y invade N.Y.
Multiply, kill a cop
Me and you
You got beef, I got beef
T-O-N-Y invade N.Y.
Multiply, kill a cop
Me and you
You got beef, I got beef
[Verse 1: Noreaga]
Yo niggas tried to shit on me and make history, supposedly
I was the man who was supposed to be
The head of the clique, lips sealed, no nigga snitch
Como ta? I smoke bogey, sword like shinobi
Shoot up your block and make you know me
You ain't ready yet, slow down and recollect
Stay in the car, Astaghfiru 'lah bodyset
Ayo Allahu Akbar, look paw, now I'm set
Air conditioned cooler system, yo, the TEC glisten
On a mission, shoot your back out position
Found missing, 2-5 deep in prison
Kid listen, die on the cross like a Christian
So fuck you, plus your weak religion
In disguise, nowdays I cut pies
The invincible, untouchable CNN
Is boldfaced, written in gold with ink pen
Channel 10, we break ten, win again
Kid you on Pluto, homo'd out just like menudo
Far from the sun, can't feel the shit that I do
I stand in front the Judge about to lie, plus I'm high too
[Chorus]
T-O-N-Y invade N.Y.
Multiply, kill a cop
Me and you
You got beef, I got beef
T-O-N-Y invade N.Y.
Multiply, kill a cop
Me and you
You got beef, I got beef
[Verse 2: Capone]
I did it for the love of cash your honor
Traffickin' across the Verrazano, coke and the marijuana
See my persona, glitters in gold
Unlike them other money getters who stack, turn quitters and fold
Cash and hydro
Eyes low, look at Philippine, divide dough
To regulate, Empire State caked up
Raked up a hundred thou, now we all laced up
What, shining, designer Lex pearl lining
The finer wine and, cuisine sitting masterminding
Round table climbing to the Top of New York
Won't stop, until we get dropped on New York
Price of coke rise, Jake snatch my enterprise
A million more rookie cops thinking they live
We survive, game tight like virgin nappy
Feds on our back, tracin' Trag to murder Papi
[Verse 3: Tragedy Khadafi]
2-5 be on a deadline, read the headline
Noreaga blast with nines
Move fakers, get ya back blown in Jamaica
Lay you in the earth and curse you and your maker
I told you fools to stop fucking with the Mahdi
Arab nazi, blow holes in your Versace
This war's mega with the arm legga legga
Been doin this, since Mobb Six with Cormega
Gorilla, animal thugs be trife looking
Your hearts tooken and got blown in Central Booking
I'm la illa', organized thug killer
Now you little monkey niggas wanna play gorilla
Officially, Mussolini, pump heme
Insanity, temporarily my plea
And the jakes never worry me as long as I'm free
To my people holding packs, nothing less than a G
Crime side of life, foul price to pay
Illegal life, trigger trife till we old and gray
When the flesh dry up and the world decay
Reach heaven in a pearly white Acuray
But until then, I'ma shine to the last sin
Resurrect through the birth of my son, and live again
[Hook]
T-O-N-Y invade N.Y.
Multiply, kill a cop
Me and you
You got beef, I got beef
T-O-N-Y invade N.Y.
Multiply, kill a cop
Me and you
You got beef, I got beef
[Outro]
Invade N.Y.
Invade N.Y.
Invade N.Y.
Invade N.Y.
