Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My girl's got a minimum
Keep it stuck right there till the number comes
Leave a smooth operator lookin' like a bum
My girl's got a city to run
Got the key to the kingdom where the money's from
Never seen the color yellow, never seen the sun
And he think I'm the negative one
[Verse 2]
Flags flappin' in Manhattan
New Dorp. New York
Gargoyles gargling oil
Peak of the Empire, top of the Rock
[Verse 3]
Flags flappin' in Manhattan
New Dorp. New York
Gargoyles gargling oil
Peak of the Empire, top of the Rock
[Verse 4]
My girl's got a little schtick
Keep your coat up in the kitchen while you feed the kid
Keep you waitin' in the winter while the tension ticks
My girl got a limousine
Got a full-time job just to keep it clean
Got a speaker in the trunk, you know where it's done
You think I'm the negative one
[Verse 5]
Flags flappin' in Manhattan
New Dorp. New York
Gargoyles gargling oil
Peak of the Empire, top of the Rock
[Verse 6]
Flags flappin' in Manhattan
New Dorp. New York
Gargoyles gargling oil
Peak of the Empire, top of the Rock
[Verse 7]
New Dorp. New York
New Dorp. New York
[Verse 8]
Late nights and black Israelites
White women singin' under dyin' lights
Baseball bats that never hit home runs
[Verse 9]
Late nights and black Israelites
White women singin' under dyin' lights
Baseball bats that never hit home runs
[Verse 10]
I got a baseball bat, never hit home runs
[Verse 11]
My girl got a minimum
Keep it stuck right there till the number comes
Leave a smooth operator lookin' like a bum
My girl got a city to run
Got the key to the kingdom where the money's from
Never seen the color yellow, never seen the sun
[Verse 12]
New Dorp. New York
New Dorp. New York
[Verse 13]
Flags flappin' in Manhattan
New Dorp. New York
Gargoyles gargling oil
Peak of the Empire, top of the Rock
[Verse 14]
Flags flappin' in Manhattan
New Dorp. New York
Gargoyles gargling oil
Peak of the Empire, top of the Rock
[Verse 15]
My girl got a little schtick
Keep your coat up in the kitchen while you feed the kid
You're waitin' in the winter while the tension ticks
My girl got a limousine
Got a full-time job just to keep it clean
Got a speaker in the trunk, you know where it's done
[Verse 16]
My girl got a city to run
My girl's got a city to run
My girl's got a city to run
My girl's got a city to run
My girl got a city to run
