I got a fist full of dollars and a one track mind

I gotta find what I'm looking for in the dead of night

3rd and 4e buildings to the sky I've got one last chance to get high to get high

New York City might be the place to be

If your game is tight and if your green takes flight

Take another chance on the place that don't sleep

Creep on the sidewalks listen as she sleeps

I'm back and I'm down for whatever Tribe Called Quest is in the CD player

Trik Turner bill boards in Time Square

No west coast G's just east coast players

Strike up a Newport sippin on my import gotta get that buzz

For them clubs that be what I see

Ok MCs in my pathway better make room I'm divin' deep into the groove



It's been a long time since I got down

Been a long time since I got down baby

So take a look around it ain't nothing nice

If your caught slippin' just another

Day in the life of that New York living

Where fast times makes for fast ways

In and out with the latest craze

It takes more than the average to amaze

The typical New Yorker can make you

Or break you either way it changes you

To something that you thought you'd never be

From rags to riches or riches to rags

Everyone plays a part you can see on

The faces of places and things that you've

Never seen it's all about the dollar dream

Owning millions have a penthouse in the tallest

Buildings I'm going all the way forget what

The critics say its all about them royalties

If you don't like it then suck on these!



[Hook]

I said I'm back in the New York Groove

I said I'm back in the New York Groove!



Pull up the 6 4 and open the door

We got models galore never seen us before

We swoop about ten and pick up a friend

We sticken shorties that kid prince

Taught me naughty this click is chillin

Yo we top billin'

New York Groove is how we livin'
