[Verse 1 Seuss the Rapscallion] Where to begin, Ive been gone for a minute Dropped Black Sheep and I felt like I was winnin Pools full of liquor, dove in, went swimmin Then the past caught up, bad days, bad women The truth is everything we went through left me kinda scarred I guess were both to blame, its all in how we played our cards Sitting, contemplating, thinking we were doomed right from the start I guess I might be crazy, but thats cause these times are hard For the first time Im back from the bottom And I came back up just to find Id been forgotten It hurts when youre kicked to the dirt and youre down Feels like theres nothing thats worth coming back around for They tell me nothings ever quite as bad as it may seem All these fans supporting, but Im really just afraid Time to throw those fears away, get back to working on my dreams I want to be a part of it, so Im leaving today [Hook Milford] Start spreading the news Im leaving today I want to be a part of this New York, New York New York [Verse 2 Seuss the Rapscallion] Sometimes I just wanna give up and be a villain Sell my soul to Illuminati, blow up, and then make a killin But whats success when none of your songs have any feelin Dont make music for the money, so just go ahead and steal it They call it the rap game, but the industrys deck is stacked Labels tryna own your life with a pen and a contract Put your name on the dotted, and just like that youve been trapped Pictured myself living this way, and thats why I snapped Now take a look and realize that this song aint got no swearin I wanted it to be heard by my siblings and my parents I want you all to see this magic trick Ive been preparin Are you watching closely, Abracadabra, now Im transparent The people I grew up with cant believe how far Ive wandered Why cant you just be happy for me, look how much Ive conquered I know how it feels to think that you cant take it any longer So now my heart has a badge of honor, its been through war and its made me stronger [Hook Milford] Start spreading the news Im leaving today I want to be a part of this New York, New York New York
