the tunnel's end (queens)

i been reppin the city since city was

since we was livin in a grittier day

hell's kitchen it raised me

but i moved around the boroughs

the tunnel's end burrough live from qu where they keep it thorough

it's queens

new york

where prodigies become immortalized

rest in peace to prodigy

you showed me love before the rise

felt fortified when i got that text

no i can't drop the ball now if i got next

and i ain't never hung around on those queensbridge stoops but when i was 12

i was up in queensbridge hoopin

ron artest tournament

all-star easy

stood out like a sore thumb

thought pops was a dt

nah

city always got room for some talent

that's why i view all that you assume as a challenge

my boom is the bap it's keepin fused with a balance to that new shit they say you gotta choose

that's a fallacy

got a mob of fans that love me for that deep shit

but i'm industry infamous they be instantly impotent

they don't give a fuck bout the real round here

we say fuck how you feel" though
