New Jack Lyrics

[Joey Styles:]
Harlem specifically where the original gangster New Jack is standing by. I'd like to warn viewers up front that I'm sure this interview is going to be inappropriate in more ways then we can enlist in one hour. Viewer discretion is sincerely advised

(La musica de Harry Fraud)

[New Jack:]
I said 'you meet me in Harlem'
I said 'we ain't gonna do this in the studio'
I said 'we ain't gonna do this is a setting where it's safe'
I said 'you bring your ass to Harlem'

And I put up with a lot of bullshit, but it don't matter
Because I have established myself as the original gangster
Not the original prankster
I don't rap about it
I don't sing about it
This what I do

(Riiiiiggghhhtt)

[Verse 1]
I said wake up muthafuckas, it's for so long you could sleep
I'm like Freddy in your dreams appearing live up on yo street
They ki-ki-ki, ha ha ha, but it's so long they could play
Try to hold a nigga down but every doggy has its day
Killing em calm, tuck 'em, face down
You don't really wanna step in my playground
I-I-I'm a, I'm a class act, you looking at the real life Blade Brown
You acting like I won't abuse niggas, square ass lame Duncan Pinderhughes niggas
I can send a few triggers at ya door on some Calvin shit
Then barge through that muthafucka on some violence shit
So have it your way Nigga pick your poison
Shorty keep talking that ya ya you shit but bitch I'm way iller than ya boyfriend
Plus I make more money, you think he cool cause he ball over seas?
Right, shit I ball overseas too

I'm in the game he won't ever see the league truuuuuuue!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Smoke DZA said this about the track:

“This here is one of my favorites because it was way outside my element in terms of what people know me for. I was just trying to show people that yeah, I go there too. This project is kind of like a darker one than my others. I feel like I’m underrated in a lot of aspects so on this it’s like I’m fed up. Fuck that, you gonna listen now. Oh you don’t wanna hear the weed rap? So I’ll give you the aggressive side, the nigga from 119th street. This song is the definition of that.”
