[Chorus: Alec Benjamin]
E G#m
Lay me down in Brooklyn if I lose my life
C#m A
Push me down the Hudson and turn on the radio
E G#m
Long Island's own are smiling cause my soul is fine
C#m A
I did everything for New York
[Verse 1: Jon Bellion]
* *
(Ah) Na-na-na nam na-na-na nam na-na-na, na-na-na nam na-na-na nam (Ah)
*
New Yorker in California, packed Brooklyn up in this bag
*
I'm in Malibu with the Bronx, she's in Kevin love with your man
*
Kyrie needed a king, I'm just making you understand
*
What I rustle up in the West, cause my reach is Kevin Durant
*
Records are very pop with a pocket deeper than sand
*
A juxtaposition, Sam Cooke, Billy Joel, Steely Dan
*
Changing the fucking spectrum, I need you to understand
*
Like I took the fall for some drugs
*
I've been nominated for Grams (It's Grammy's)
Skinny genius got blueprints up in my hand
*
So the minute you hear my single, just know that it's in my plan
* *
Advantage of demographics, I'm Jigga, Bruno and Sam Smith
I'm moving business, I'm Taylor Swift in a van
*
This game, boy, is very, very advanced
*
I'm very, very New York, be very, very aware
*
How very, very Di Nero, bro I can get on a snare
*
Letting go of your throat, I can sing the hook if you scared
[Chorus: Alec Benjamin]
E G#m
Lay me down in Brooklyn if I lose my life
C#m A
Push me down the Hudson and turn on the radio
E G#m
Long Island's own are smiling cause my soul is fine
C#m A
I did everything for New York
[Verse 2: Jon Bellion]
* *
(Ah) Na-na-na nam na-na-na nam na-na-na, na-na-na nam na-na-na nam (Ah)
*
Meet me in the red dress when the stakes high, that's porterhouse
*
She's 5 foot 9 in a Rolls Royce, that's Slaughterhouse
*
Benny Hahn, Hahn's and a tall boy, we ordered out
*
The hell you need a chaser when all this liquor is watered down?
*
Wait, see all them lines is fuck boy chat
*
Don't be so impressed by all that fuck boy rap
*
This money gon' leave you empty if you just want that
*
See, my joy lies in the Son and you should jump on that
*
She'll make you think that she the wife and that you found the one
*
But she just looking for some powder, not the talcum one
*
I’m not judging, here in the middle like I’m Malcolm, son
*
Verbal trigger like you should never play around with guns
*
Bow down to no crown, these dudes was out for the count
*
'Cause the Sour Diesel was loud, I was pounding face in the lounge
*
Sober dope, moving proud, like allowance found in the crowd
*
When a thousand counting me out but I'm here and killing the crowd now, blaow
[Chorus: Alec Benjamin]

[Bridge]
G#m F# E D#m G#m
Yo, I'm telling you
G#m F# E D#m G#m
Yo, I'm telling you (Yeah)
G#m F# E D#m G#m C#
Yo, I'm telling you
D#m E F# G#m
Yo, I'm telling you (Yeah)
[Verse 3: Jon Bellion]
G#m F# E D#m
Let me give the kids just a little help
G#m
Tell 'em money is not the key to wealth
G#m F# E D#m
'Cause if it can stop the pain
G#m
How the fuck do you explain a bunch of millionaires that killed themselves?
G#m F# E D#m
So you can take me off your winner's shelf
G#m C#
I got that different vision, I'm bringing help
D#m E
I know the demons in the room
F#
Gon' say it's more that I can chew
G#m
But now all I hear is the dinner bell
G#m F# E D#m
I need a family that loves me right
G#m
Don't need a chain, don't need a club at night
G#m F# E D#m
I had a conversation with an angel
G#m
She told me I'd cheat death if I stayed away from the party life
G#m F# E D#m
Dropped off in the land where the artists play
G#m C#
Where God's way is the hardest way
D#m E
Told myself I'm keeping my faith
F# G#m
If it costs me my reputation, then take it, I give it all away
G#m F# E D#m G#m
G#m F# E D#m G#m
