New
York... The envy of all states.
Where buses and subways are popular, and cars aren't necessities.
Where everyone's in a rush.
Where the people are “rude.”
Where they seem antisocial, but simply, have things to do.
Where it's “soda” not “pop”.
Where “mad” means a lot or really.
Where “ma” is not just your mother.
Where everyone's nickname is “B.”
Where there's never a dull moment;
from hanging out on “The Ave,”
to
standing outside TRL in Times Square.
To
arcades on Broadway and night clubs that never end.
Where we “log on,” “summer bounce,” and “scooby doo.”
Where Hot 97 “blazes hip hop and R&B.”
Where we don't push each other in the clubs,
but “catch dubs” to popular Dancehall and bounce to Jay Z.
Where diversity is key, minimizing racism
to
subliminal messages, and implied notions.
Where the entire world can be seen on a few blocks.
Where every culture has parades and celebrations.
Where the towers fell, but we remain strong.
Where lady liberty represents the reason for our existence.
Where the cheesecakes' worth walking for.
Where the forever number one baseball team rests.
New
York... The envy of all states.
