Greetings from Miami Dade County Florida

[Chorus: Ja Rule and DJ Khaled]
One's for the trouble
Two's for the show

Three's for the base and that limelight glow
I know! You thinking that this game is over
Oh no! The wait is over

New York is back!

Let me see your hands, wave them side to side

Put em up high, don't cry cause
New York is back!


Let me see your hands, wave them side to side
Put em up high, let's ride cause
New York is back!


[Jadakiss:]
Hammer and the Muzzle came together

All I did was hold on to the pieces
Till the puzzle came together
Before it all got heighty

I was in the corridor
Apple before it got ripe
So I ain't gotta act like

I'm on top of or in front of them
If I'm not the best, dawg
Then I'm one of them

Listen, I'm a different kind of boss
I'm cut from a different kind of cloth
These ^!$$%s is different kind of soft

Everybody know it all
Nobody follow a protocol
Money's only good till you blow it all

Stacking ever since
Juliani knocked John Gotti
So now we running for president

A shame what the game's became
But the truth is
Really nobody to blame

But the music
Let's give it a minute
With no wack gimmicks

Just hard beats and rhymes
To blow breath back in it


[Chorus: Jada and DJ khaled]
One's for the trouble
Two's for the show

Three's for the base and that limelight glow
I know! You thinking that this game is over
Oh no! The wait is over

New York is back!

Let me see your hands, wave them side to side

Put em up high, don't cry cause
New York is back!


Let me see your hands, wave them side to side
Put em up high, let's ride cause
New York is back!


[Fat Joe:]
Mother$#&@er, I'm the heart and soul of this
You claim king but we in control of this
Name another rapper you see on the streets

Hugging the block at the height of a beef
!@&@a, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack
Yellow tape and bright sheets
Yeah, that's my back drop whenever I speak
I know a lot of y'all would love to ice me

Make my head jerk like I'm doing the hyphy
But that'll never happen, get on some sick %#@!
Like fifteen in you and one in your infant
(Ouch!) Joe's the business, ask about me
In the middle of the desert

And they still can't drought me
You know !@&@a, baby, he stay on that New York %#@!
You see Weezy coming down on that forklift
And money ain't a thing, unless he come off with
Then I'm a have to hit him with these little bricks often


[Chorus: Fat Joe and DJ Khaled]
One's for the trouble
Two's for the show
Three's for the base and that limelight glow
I know! You thinking that this game is over

Oh no! The wait is over
New York is back!

Let me see your hands, wave them side to side
Put em up high, don't cry cause
New York is back!


Let me see your hands, wave them side to side
Put em up high, let's ride cause
New York is back!

[Ja Rule:]
New York, New York, ^!$$%, never went nowhere
I just took off a couple of years

But now I'm back on my day to day
Old school, Gucci frames like day to day
Who could tell New York time's up, Flava Flav
Cause as much as things change they remain the same
New Yity, the city of God
And Mecca, the temple, the mas
An inspiration, the inception, the art

Of hip hip was born
The rap game was formed
From ^!$$%s that's dead broke, sell drugs, bear arms
Against all odds
And argue all day about who's a bigger star
Joe, Jada or Ja
So close but so far

So many, there's no star
I can't belive ^!$$%s saying NY fell off
And L.A. came back and the south is running %#@!
Then one blood rules, this %#@! is all irrelevant!

[Chorus: Ja Rule and DJ Khaled]
One's for the trouble

Two's for the show
Three's for the base and that limelight glow
I know! You thinking that this game is over
Oh no! The wait is over
New York is back!

Let me see your hands, wave them side to side
Put em up high, don't cry cause
New York is back!

Let me see your hands, wave them side to side
Put em up high, let's ride cause
New York is back!
