Day In The Bronx

Lyrics

[Intro: Jimmy Nice] Hey, hey Stepping out the shadows, I'm just a kid Standing on the corner where SEEN and DUSTER did Mad Burners {Laughs} Let's get 'em Diddy [Chorus 1: Jimmy Nice] Stepping out the shadows, I'm just a kid Standing on the corner where SEEN and DUSTER did Mad burners, stay earnest at all cost Check out the story 'bout my day in the Bronx The land of the free, home of the brave More specifically New York City, walk with me now Hey, walk with me now Walk with me [Verse 1: Jimmy Nice] Put my quarter in the phone and homie answered Get a taxi to Broadway like Tony Danza Catch the L all the way to green point And don't be late, we'll throw the paint up in my homie's lancer In the back of the subway car Like a clippin' out of Subway Art he asked "Have you ever been in the Bronx?" My response "The furthest we ever got was Henry Chalfant" Nothing soft comes outta it, you know the saying Driving over the bridge with "Beauty in the Bricks" playing, and My idol be in the passenger seat Seeing matte black, tatts crew, back street Kids just playing, strangers smiling with black teeth Gold rope, a denim jacket and back piece, and In the middle of it all is little me In the jungle, to the puzzle I am the masterpiece [Interlude (Sampled): [?]] When you're young you don't wanna do the same thing that everyone else is doing, because it seems boring. We were just doing it to be bad and anti, like 'Oh, look at the garbage. This is the garbage.' [Verse 2: Jimmy Nice] Now before the critics blast me for staying a master Juggling they laptops and cold pasta Man, I just wanted to paint in NY alongside DMOTE And now I done both over barb wires like we toast Check it, no credit, but Kobe said it If I want something I go get it (Go) Gold letters emblazoned on train facades Tales from the yards, facial scars, Afrika Bambaataa And even though we worlds apart they respect the kid Because of the respect I give D told me, 'Make the letters pop, swap arrows Rock the light blue like it's out of a drop shadow' We here, re-up beers across the street Sunsettin' beyond the belly of the beast, and In the middle of it all is little me While the OG's spark cigars and pick apart my piece [Pre-Chorus: Jimmy Nice, Nick Lupi & [?]] Said, I'm gonna find my way No matter where I am (Uh) I'm everywhere the wind blows Just open up your windows (Yeah) Said, I'm gonna find my way No matter where I stand I'm everywhere the wind blows (Yeah) Just open up your windows [?] [Chorus 2: Jimmy Nice, Nick Lupi & [?]] Young man landed in the land of the free The home of the brave (Uh) Hey, said the Land of the free The home of the brave (Uh, come on, ayy) I said the land of the free, home of the brave More specifically New York City, walk with me now Walk with me now Talk to me
