Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Check it
I hit a flow all dipped in lotion
Sit back and sip mo' as I count my dough
Grand Puba Maxwell, Doogie, comin' with the New York
We keep it real like jail when we mic talk
Honeys know 'cause when I'm in the set
Grand Puba is the one who makes they stink box wet
So let me tell ya somethin', lady
When ya flow this flow then it's all cream and baby
I made this one for the brothers in the party
To find a hottie and dance body-to-body
Step one, first you grab honey by the waist
Step two, then you move at a ghetto pace
Step three, then you look her dead in the face
Step four, now it's time to leave this place
Hold up, be careful of the cheese's
The teasers, the one who wants the money and the visa's
I'ma tell honeys straight off the bat
But please, don't even go there with that
Dig it
This one's designed to make your spine and your back wind
Grand Puba, nice set up for ya every time
[Chorus]
Ooh, and I like it
And you say New York City (Ooh, and I like it)
And you, and you say New York City (Ooh, and I like it)
And you say New York City (Ooh, and I like it)
And you say
[Verse 2]
Could it be I've stayed away too long?
Thief MCs be wishin' I was gone
Because they wanna be where I are
But ya can't get that far
So, stop wishin' on a star
It's only one Grand P
So honey, do what you did on the night you creeped with me
It's no doubt I come real with that
The butter track
The one that makes honeys hit the bed mat
I'm energetic, poetic, athletic, with good credit
So just move like I'm Simon and I said it
You see, my flow is just a step ahead
I'm still wicked in a bed because I'm down-right nasty like newlyweds
So back up and let me breathe
'Cause when it comes to gettin' down
I'm gettin' looser than a crackhead's hair weave
And I bet ya, my golly, wow, you never find a style like this
If you search a million miles
So why don't ya let Puba nice your party?
I'll hit a flow like Al Jarreau
See, I've been doin' this for years, I'm leavin' MCs in tears, tears, dig it
'Cause they fallin' just like the rain
Grand Puba's too much for the brain
Now, gold diggers who try to get it
I left 'em backwards, they thought they farted when they shitted
'Cause Puba's everything, and everything is Pu
'Cause I hit 'em with a one
And then with a two
Yeah, 'cause that's just how Grand Pu and Stud Doogie do
Ya didn't know I was the bomb, baby
Somebody shoulda told you
Somebody shoulda told you
[Chorus]
(Ooh, and I like it) I like it
(Ooh, and I like it) And you say New York City
(Ooh, and I like it) No doubt
And you say New York City (Ooh, and I like it)
Ha ha, and ya say (I like it)
[Outro]
'Cause we get down for ours, we get down, no doubt
Down for ours, we get down, no doubt
Down for ours, we get down, no doubt
Down for ours, we get down
'Cause we get down for ours, we get down, no doubt
Down for ours, we get down, no doubt
Down for ours, we get down, no doubt
Ninety-five flav, and I'm out
[Outro]
Ooh, and I like it
I like it
Ooh, and
I like it
