__________________ Now the people that you love bear the pain that you once harbored
You was livin for yourself so you could never be a martyr
Life is hard, death is harder; you somebody baby father
Someone's lover, son of your mother, somebody brother
Somebody nigga, now your spirit in the air like a whisper
Hearin your name mentioned when we pourin out some liquor
The days go by quicker and the nights don't seem to differ
It's gettin cold, so I shivered and asked my soul to be delivered
How could you leave me? I thought that you needed me
When the world got too much and you pleaded with me
Who helped you immediately? How speedy of me
How could you deny me so vehemently ?
Now your body is shaking, trying to free it of me
And your soul is in control trying to lead it from me
And your heart no longer pledge allegiance to me
Damn I'm missing the days, when you needed the D.
word, I ain't just asking for songs with "new york" in the title... lol

oh...you wanted songs that everyone in NY was singing in the shower....I thought you wanted the best songs about the city ....I haven't visited NY since '93 so I wouldn't know any "anthems".......I still say New York (Ya Out There) is the best song about the city.....

"I used to roll through the hood, good Ra, keep my mental entertained
And find higher thoughts past levels never seen
Any cause, through New York's five boroughs on the train
Subway, INR, slash ghetto limousine"
