In the city of dreams you get caught up in the schemes and fall. Apart in the seam... tonight. That boy he used to bomb from B.K. to the Bronx and it's the. Fortunate one who dies. [Nas:]. New York we ready!. [Kevin Rudolf:]. He move from LAS to SoHo. A few blocks for those who don't know. Down the hall. Punched a hole in the wall. Bounced out all are in control. Certified son of a gun. Learns life lesson 101. Don't fly too high. On your own supply-get burnt by the sun. Cause in the city of dreams. You get caught up in the schemes and fall apart in the. Seam... tonight. That boy he is the bomb from B.K. to the Bronx and it's the. Fortunate one who dies. He was NY's talk of the town. Heard out to the LI sound (okay). He started datin models and he figured it out. He used to be a nice guy then he cut that shit out. Qualified sex machine. No better than a vow-e? fiend. She wanted a ride to the upper east side but he dropped her ass off. In queens. Cause in the city of dreams. You get caught up in the schemes and fall apart in the. Seam... tonight. That boy would play his guitar like he was ready for war. (You ready K?)(It's your man Nas here). And then he'd lift up his voice to the... sky. (Take it straight through New York City). [Nas:]. Yo ok my city my town my crown. Michael Bloomberg forget what ya heard. I'm thought of highly shoppin Louie Gianni. Christian LaCrosse shades what can a boss say?. City bus the subway cab the runway. Ski masks and gunplay-my past at a young age. The illest city on the planet. Towers came down Wall Street barely standin. We Crook Brothers opposite of Brook Brothers. My footsteps of Scatman Crothers. It's just generations of style to get five luminous minutes with me. Interviews on how I flip sixty-twos. This isn't my style I spit what I'm livin right now. I'm out on the town gold bars shuttin it down. Bottles stacked from the floor to the ceiling. Then it's a loud fool fifty-third street right near the Hilton. I'm fightin the feeling I had when I was lightin up buildings. Now I'm writin for millions of listeners. Critics who just don't get it. They try dissin us New York full of kings and queens all the rest just mimic us. [Kevin Rudolf:]. Cause in the city of dreams. You get caught up in the schemes and fall apart in the. Seam... tonight.
