Lyrics

[Verse 1]
New York, whoa
New York City, oh
New York, whoa
New York City, oh
Oh, yeah
[Verse 2]
Terrible than the great train robbery, oh, oh, oh
More terrible than the great train robbery
Terrible than the great train robbery, whoa, whoa
Terrible than the great train robbery
[Verse 3]
The things I've done in life will go down in history
In the Big Apple, the place called New York City
What's going down? Come and report it to me
Ay, anything going down, come and report it to me
[Verse 4]
I heard those boys planned in the pen million robbery, whoa
Well, if they make it, probably gotta break it
Although I wasn't there, it was a 50/50 share
Anything going down, come and report it to me
[Verse 5]
Terrible than the great train robbery, oh, oh, oh
Terrible than the great train robbery
Terrible than the great train robbery, oh, oh, oh
Terrible than the great train robbery
[Verse 6]
The things I've done in life will go down in history
In the Big Apple, the place called New York City
What's going down? Come and report it to me
Ay, anything going down, come and report it to me
[Verse 7]
A business got to earn, food got to eat
So brother, do it neat, cross 110th Street
And if the brothers messed it up and don't let me get my cut
There's gonna be hell up in Harlem
Hell up in Harlem
[Verse 8]
Terrible than the great train robbery
[Verse 9]
The things I've done in life will go down in history
In the Big Apple, the place called New York City
Hey, what's going down? Come and report it to me
Ay, anything going down, come and report it to me
[Verse 10]
No good friends ever let you down, no, no, no
(Terrible than the great train robbery)
Said, they always get it right
Ain't gonna tear me down, ain't gonna let me down
Ain't gonna get me down, no, no
(Terrible than the great train robbery)
[Verse 11]
It was all planned out
[Verse 12]
Yes, we have an inside view
(Terrible than the great train robbery)
So I knew just what to do
It was all planned out, boy, boy
(Terrible than the great train robbery)
So they could never blame, no doubt, no they
Brothers, they respect the plan
So they carry out the plan
(Terrible than the great train robbery)
After they take the train
Next day, they did lick champagne
(Terrible than the great train robbery)
Money flowing down like rain
