[Intro]
Yeah… late night thinking under city lights
I think I need a New York man tonight
[Verse 1 – Brooklyn]
He walk like the city know his name
Timbs on heavy when he step in the rain
Talk slick, say “my heart” when he smile
Brooklyn accent make me stay for a while
Gold chain shining under streetlamp glow
Riding past Flatbush slow
From Bed-Stuy corners to the Coney lights
He hold me close on them Brooklyn nights
[Pre-Chorus]
Every borough got a different kind of love
Different kind of swagger when they pull up
[Chorus]
I need a New York man, city in his soul
From the Bronx down to where the bright lights glow
Brooklyn say “my heart”, Timbs in the snow
Queens boy fly where the foreign cars go
Manhattan smooth on Dyckman nights
Staten Island calm but he ride just right
Five borough love, I just want one chance
Baby I just need me a New York man
[Verse 2 – Bronx]
Bronx boy loud but he loyal for real
Blast old school beats with the wheel
From Fordham Road to the Yankee lights
He dance like the block every Friday night
Attitude bold but his heart stay gold
Stories from the avenue told
He say “you good?” with that uptown tone
Make the whole city feel like home
[Chorus]
I need a New York man, city in his soul
From the Bronx down to where the bright lights glow
Brooklyn say “my heart”, Timbs in the snow
Queens boy fly where the foreign cars go
Manhattan smooth on Dyckman nights
Staten Island calm but he ride just right
Five borough love, I just want one chance
Baby I just need me a New York man
[Verse 3 – Queens / Manhattan / Staten Island]
Queens boy chilling on Main Street late
Got food spots only locals rate
Different languages when the block get loud
But he still move humble through the crowd
Manhattan man in a clean black coat
Walk through SoHo like he run the whole show
Late nights up on Dyckman hill
City lights shining, time standing still
Staten Island boy on the ferry ride
Quiet type but he keep that pride
Drive slow past the Verrazzano span
Say “come take a ride with a Staten man”
[Outro]
City lights… subway sounds…
Maybe my love on a New York block right now
