[Intro]
你不會彈鋼琴對吧
You ain't know how to play the piano, did you, nigga?
你能大聲喊出NYC嗎？
Can you say New York City?
我們持續供應著你所需要的（The Notorious B.I.G. – Who Shot Ya?）
Now as we proceed to give you what you need
壞男孩唱片，女士們先生們
Bad boy, ladies and gentlemen
我說NYC
(And I say New York City)
我想為你們介紹
I'd like to introduce to you
你懂得，NYC vibe
You know, it's a vibe
他！就！是！
He is
所以他是NYC最狂的
So he the baddest mother****er in town
[Verse 1: Joey Bada$$]
我能告訴你休息了5年，因為我的作品是永恆
I can tell you five years off 'cause my shit is timeless
Pro Era支持著我，所以我能一貫堅持承諾
My core got my back so I'm standing on my promise
這些混子僅僅被唱片公司所支持，他們都沒什麼骨氣
These niggas only backed by they label, they all spineless
我被群眾所擁護，在那個時候
I'm backed by popular demand and on that timing
2012，我閃耀登場《1999》，你們都還沒出來呢
I'm popped out, 2012, y'all wasn't outside then
10年之後，告訴我為什麼你們還藏著呢
Ten years later, tell me why y'all still hiding
都知道誰是最偉大的，讓你最愛的滾到一旁，老子才是最棒的
Niggas know who greater, **** your favorite, I'm the greatest
他們根本不可能貶低我們，我還沒放大就成功了
They never could degrade us and I did it with no major, I
我用自己的方式為後輩開闢了道路
I made a lane for niggas by going my own way
為你今天看到的許多說唱歌手鋪平了道路
I paved the way for a lot of these rappers you see today
所以演得像你知道的那樣，我一直在流動，靈魂滲透
So act like you know, bitch, I 've been had the flow, penetrating souls
誰是最好的MC?Benny the Butcher,我還是J.Cole(參考Jay-Z line on “Where I'm From”:Who's the best MCs, Biggie, Jay-Z, or Nas?)
Who the best emcees? Kenny, Joey, andCole
神聖的三位一體，親和的人生於95（Joey生於1995.1.20）
The holy trinity, it's that nine-fives in affinity
查克拉知道我什麼時候出發並會永遠記得我
Energy knowing when I'm gone and forever remember me
所以當我還在附近時，請給我愛（真正的愛）
So show me love when I'm still in the vicinity (Real love)
並且不要同情那些挑剔的弟弟們
And show no sympathy for niggas who be moving finicky
Diddy（採樣來自DeBarge - I Like It）
[Chorus]
喔，太棒了，能喊NYC嗎
Ooh, and I like it (Can you say New York City?)
喔，太喜歡了，大聲喊出NYC
Ooh, and I like it (Can you say New York City?)
喔，太愛了，跟我一起喊NYC
Ooh, and I like it (Can you say New York City?)
喔，太好了，別停下一直喊NYC
Ooh, and I like it (Can you say New York City?)
[Verse 2: Joey Bada$$]
過去一分鐘了，我仍然保持著沒有噱頭的風格（呼應了《1999》中Summer Knights Verse1裡的第一句”It's been a minute since they seen a style with no gimmicks“）Joey對自己的風格保持忠誠，不會去主動追趕潮流或者是低級的噱頭
It's been a minute and I still kick a style with no gimmicks
緩了一會，現在我們捲土重來（我們來辣）
Took some time off, now we back in this (We back)
啊？你們覺得我到頭了？我破防了
What, you niggas thought I was finished? I'm offended
我只是剛剛補給了一下，當我出席時，mc變得越來越少
I'm just getting replenished, emcees getting diminished when I'm in attendance
像一句話的結束那樣，句號
Get finished like a sentence, period
我的燈光永遠不會變暗，我的光芒是真實的，明星命
Never is my light dimming, my shine is serious, a born star
其他剩下的弟弟不相上下，誰想要晶石？
These other niggas ain't on par, who wanna spar?
我身上有彈痕，2個來自AR，4個來自SCAR
I got war scars, two ARs and four SCARs
錢裝我身上就像在掛胸花，我賺的盆滿缽滿
Line on my waist like a corsage 'cause I tote [?]
這些狹隘的黑子不想看到我們走遠
These small-town niggas ain't tryna see us goingfar
對Khaled說，喲，他們厭惡看到你贏
Word to Khaled, yo, they hate to see you winning
他們想看到你生涯結束
They wanna see your life ending
熄燈，在第九局被三振出局
Lights out, striking out in my knife [?]
掃平，他們想知道我是如何保持微笑
Wiped out, they wonder how I just stay grinning (Let's go)
因為我們從一開始就路途漫長
'Cause we came a long way since the beginning
所有東西都鑲了鑽這就是我們的生活方式（出發）
Everything iced out 'cause this how I'm living (Come on, yeah, bad boy)
Diddy（採樣來自DeBarge - I Like It）
[Chorus]
喔，太棒了，能喊NYC嗎
Ooh, and I like it (Can you say New York City?)
喔，太喜歡了，大聲喊出NYC
Ooh, and I like it (Can you say New York City ?)
喔，太愛了，跟我一起喊NYC
Ooh, and I like it (Can you say New York City?)
喔，太好了，別停下一直喊NYC
Ooh, and I like it (Can you say New York City?)
[Outro]
太狂了
Come on
Joey總是能從頭到尾都保持冷酷
The baddest stay down, always, from beginning to end
你懂我意思吧
You know what I'm saying
回到我們本來的樣子，你知道我在說什麼
Just get back to being who we are, you know what I'm saying
最狂的
Like the baddest
接受吧
Take that
