Chorus: Alec Benjamin:
E MajorE G# minorG#m
Lay me down in Brooklyn if I lose my life
C# minorC#m A augmentedA
Push me down the Hudson and turn on the radio
E MajorE G# minorG#m
Long Island's own are smiling cause my soul is fine
C# minorC#m A augmentedA
I did everything for New York
Verse 1: Jon Bellion:
* *
(Ah) Na-na-na nam na-na-na nam na-na-na, na-na-na nam na-na-na nam (Ah)
*
New Yorker in California, packed Brooklyn up in this bag
*
I'm in Malibu with the Bronx, she's in Kevin love with your man
*
Kyrie needed a king, I'm just making you understand
*
What I rustle up in the West, cause my reach is Kevin Durant
*
Records are very pop with a pocket deeper than sand
*
A augmentedA juxtaposition, Sam Cooke, Billy Joel, Steely Dan
*
Changing the fucking spectrum, I need you to understand
*
Like I took the fall for some drugs
*
I've been nominated for Grams (It's Grammy's)
Skinny genius got blueprints up in my hand
*
So the minute you hear my single, just know that it's in my plan
* *
Advantage of demographics, I'm Jigga, Bruno and Sam Smith
I'm moving business, I'm Taylor Swift in a van
*
This game, boy, is very, very advanced
*
I'm very, very New York, be very, very aware
*
How very, very Di Nero, bro I can get on a snare
*
Letting go of your throat, I can sing the hook if you scared
Chorus: Alec Benjamin:
E MajorE G# minorG#m
Lay me down in Brooklyn if I lose my life
C# minorC#m A augmentedA
Push me down the Hudson and turn on the radio
E MajorE G# minorG#m
Long Island's own are smiling cause my soul is fine
C# minorC#m A augmentedA
I did everything for New York
Verse 2: Jon Bellion:
* *
(Ah) Na-na-na nam na-na-na nam na-na-na, na-na-na nam na-na-na nam (Ah)
*
Meet me in the red dress when the stakes high, that's porterhouse
*
She's 5 foot 9 in a Rolls Royce, that's Slaughterhouse
*
Benny Hahn, Hahn's and a tall boy, we ordered out
*
The hell you need a chaser when all this liquor is watered down?
*
Wait, see all them lines is fuck boy chat
*
Don't be so impressed by all that fuck boy rap
*
This money gon' leave you empty if you just want that
*
See, my joy lies in the Son and you should jump on that
*
She'll make you think that she the wife and that you found the one
*
But she just looking for some powder, not the talcum one
*
I’m not judging, here in the middle like I’m Malcolm, son
*
Verbal trigger like you should never play around with guns
*
Bow down to no crown, these dudes was out for the count
*
'Cause the Sour Diesel was loud, I was pounding face in the lounge
*
Sober dope, moving proud, like allowance found in the crowd
*
When a thousand counting me out but I'm here and killing the crowd now, blaow

Verse 3: Jon Bellion:
G# minorG#m F#F# E MajorE D#mD#m
Let me give the kids just a little help
G# minorG#m
Tell 'em money is not the key to wealth
G# minorG#m F#F# E MajorE D#mD#m
'Cause if it can stop the pain
G# minorG#m
How the fuck do you explain a bunch of millionaires that killed themselves?
G# minorG#m F#F# E MajorE D#mD#m
So you can take me off your winner's shelf
G# minorG#m C#C#
I got that different vision, I'm bringing help
D#mD#m E MajorE
I know the demons in the room

Gon' say it's more that I can chew
G# minorG#m
But now all I hear is the dinner bell
G# minorG#m F#F# E MajorE D#mD#m
I need a family that loves me right
G# minorG#m
Don't need a chain, don't need a club at night
G# minorG#m F#F# E MajorE D#mD#m
I had a conversation with an angel
G# minorG#m
She told me I'd cheat death if I stayed away from the party life
G# minorG#m F#F# E MajorE D#mD#m
Dropped off in the land where the artists play
G# minorG#m C#C#
Where God's way is the hardest way
D#mD#m E MajorE
Told myself I'm keeping my faith
F#F# G# minorG#m
If it costs me my reputation, then take it, I give it all away
G# minorG#m F#F# E MajorE D#mD#m G# minorG#m
