TITLE: NO SLEEP NEW YORK
[Intro – Spoken]
Yerrr…
Zone, turn this all the way up.
If you from New York, you already know what time it is.
[Hook – Cold Verse]
No sleep, New York, we lit all night,
From the club to the block, we don’t kill no vibe.
Hands up high if you love this life,
If you from my city, better rep that right.
No sleep, New York, we don’t do calm,
Bass so loud, feel it run through your arms.
If you came to turn up, don’t talk, just walk,
Step to the floor, this that New York talk.
[Verse 1 – Cold Verse]
Step in, whole club feel a shift in the air,
DJ see Cold, put extra knock in the snare.
Shorty with the Yankee brim twistin’ her hips,
Lip gloss, side-eye, whole borough in her lips.
Lights low but the ice still dance on the wrist,
Whole squad in the back yellin’, “Run that list!”
When the hook come on, it’s a citywide code,
Every borough in the buildin’, let the energy explode.
We don’t stand on the wall, we just slide and rock,
Lil’ bop, lil’ drill, lil’ old-school hop.
If you mad, stay mad, we don’t dim no shine,
We came here for the bass and a savage hook line.
[Hook – Cold Verse]
No sleep, New York, we lit all night,
From the club to the block, we don’t kill no vibe.
Hands up high if you love this life,
If you from my city, better rep that right.
No sleep, New York, we don’t do calm,
Bass so loud, feel it run through your arms.
If you came to turn up, don’t talk, just walk,
Step to the floor, this that New York talk.
[Verse 2 – Cold Verse]
Bottle lights up like a runway strip,
Section lookin’ like an afterparty script.
Uptown in the stance, downtown in the fit,
Queens in the lashes, Bronx in the drip.
She like, “Boy, where you from?” I say, “Hear my slang,
How I drag them vowels, let the whole word hang.”
Every “yerrr” from the crowd like a drumline hit,
When the DJ wheel back, whole spot lose it.
I’m the voice of the night when the club on tilt,
All the pressure, all the pride that this city done built.
If you ever stayed out ‘til the sky turned gray,
Then you part of this hook, you can scream that way—
[Hook – Cold Verse]
No sleep, New York, we lit all night,
From the club to the block, we don’t kill no vibe.
Hands up high if you love this life,
If you from my city, better rep that right.
No sleep, New York, we don’t do calm,
Bass so loud, feel it run through your arms.
If you came to turn up, don’t talk, just walk,
Step to the floor, this that New York talk.
[Bridge – Call & Response]
(Cold Verse) WHERE WE AT?!
(Crowd) NEW YORK, NEW YORK!
(Cold Verse) HOW WE MOVE?!
(Crowd) NO SLEEP, NO TALK!
[Verse 3 – Cold Verse]
From the first bass drop ‘til they cut them lights,
We outside, inside, on a permanent hype.
If the DJ say “last,” we yell “run that twice,”
Turn exit signs into part of the lights.
This for all five boroughs, every side street crew,
For the late-night dreams we refuse to lose.
When the beat fade out and the crowd roll home,
You still hear that chant when you’re walkin’ alone—
[Hook – Outro
