[Intro: Jimmy Nice] Hey, hey Stepping out the shadows was just a kid Standing on the corner where Sean and Duster did Mad Burners Let's get em Diddy [Verse 1: Jimmy Nice] Stepping out the shadows was just a kid Standing on the corner where Sean and Duster did Mad burners Stay earnest at all cost Check out my story bout' my day in the Bronx The land of the free Home of the brave Most specifically NYC Walk with me now Walk with me now Walk with me 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 Throw the paint up in my homie's lancer In the back of the subway car Like i'm clippin out the subway art Have you ever been in the Bronx? My response the furthest we ever got was here in shell font (?) Nothing soft comes outta here You know that saying Driving over the bridge with Beauty in the Bricks playing and My idol be in the pa**enger seat Seeing matt black, tatts crew, back street Kids just playing, stranger smiling with black teeth Gold rope, with denim jacket and back piece
In the middle of it all is little me In the jungle To the puzzle I am the masterpiece [Verse 2: Jimmy Nice] Now before the critics blast me for saying i'm master Juggling their laptops and cold pasta Man I just wanted to paint NY Alongside Timo 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 Gold letter emblazoning on train facades Tales from the yards Facial Scars In 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 We-up beers across the street Sunset be on the belly of the beast In the middle of it all is little me While the OG sparks (?) Pick apart my peace [Chorus (Nick Lupi and Jimmy Nice:)] Young man landed in the land of the free Home of the brave The Land of the free Home of the brave I said the Land of the free Home of the brave Most specifically New York City Walk with me now Walk with me now Talk to me
