Where I Come From
When I walk the streets on NY, my whole world stops
All I can hear is the faint noise of gunshots
Leavin’ my whole world spinnin’ like tops
I remember ballin’ at the Lopez park court
Or at the hoop by New Dorp
OR maybe at the park by Midland Beach Port
Take a trip to the corner store
Where my boy Alex can hook you up with the whole store and more
Even though half of Staten Island is scared to go outdoors
