East New York Lyrics
October 10th
We trying to get some bread, this is my hood.
Photographer: So you want us to pay to take a picture?
Yes. You came to take that picture, and 20 dollars isn't worth that for you? I can step on this shit, it don't matter to me.
Ya'll wanting to come here if this wasn't here? It's worth more to you that this is here, than to me. If you want to take a picture, it's going to cost something, or the shit can just get broke.
Hundred thousand dollar portrait, we trying to get this off the wall. But before we ruin it, we'd rather leave it so ya'll can come and take a picture. Niggas in the projects is looking for money. Fuck out of here. Call the police, do the fuck what you want. Get the fuck if you don't want, bye!
That mean you don't give a fuck about the artist.
Let her go.
