Yonkers tale


*background singing, children playing*

This is the north part of yonker
Their home
A whole world all to itself
You could get to any borough 30 minutes from here
It might as well be 3,000 miles away
Over there, thats alexander street precinct
The sounds of the sirens fill the neighbornood
It was around 1997
L-o-x was the sound of the street
(*short clip of a song by the lox*)
Felt like there was a bad boy in every corner back then
Was the time then
Mike tyson was about to fight holyfield
For the heavyweight title
Tyson was that nigga, word up
Pops used to sneak us into the gambling spot
To watch the fight on pay-per-view
Thats gettys square
Thats where everything went down at
Ill talk to yall about that later
Over there
Thats the hill
Thats where we got rated at
Cops battling
A little red house
59, chestnut street, second floor
Thats the lookout store
Ayo when shit was moving slow at the spot
All you would here is...

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics YONKERS TALE of THE LOX is also present in the album Money, power & respect (1998)
