[Intro: Busta Rhymes | Swizz Beatz]
DJ Scratch, you sick for this one (Hahaha)
Woo! Come on (Haha)
Woo! New York, we back! (Swizzy)


[Hook: Swizz Beatz | Busta Rhymes]
If you from New York (New York), stand up right now! (Straight up)
If you from New York (New York), hands up right now!
Get it up, get it up, get it-get it-get it up (Oh! Oh!)
Get it up, get it up, get it-get it-get it up (Oh! Oh! Shhh, ow!)
Get it up, get it up, get it-get it-get it up (Oh! Oh!)
Get it up, get it up, get it-get it-get it up (Oh! Oh! Ow)

[Refrain 1: Swizz Beatz]
Yeah, yeah, I'm on my New York shit
Hat to the back on my New York shit (Woo, woo)
Yeah, I'm on my New York shit (Oh! Woo!)
Timbs with the shorts on my New York shit (Come on, oh!)
I'm on my New York shit
Ridin' on the train on my New York shit (Talk to 'em!)
Burner in the club on my New York shit (Talk to 'em!)
Razor in my mouth on my New York shit (That New York shit, shit)

[Verse 1: Busta Rhymes]
Yeah, I'm on my New York shit!
Got the world followin' the New York script
Hustle with Timbs and hoodies on my New York flip
Rubber band stack money with my New York clique
Yeah, I'm on my New York shit!
I rep the Giants, the Jets, New York Knicks
Tailor-made clothin' with my New York stitch
My chick bangin', don't you see my New York bitch?
Yeah, I'm on my New York shit
You niggas know we deserve the props we get
Ridin' up in the Range, I'm in my New York whip
International chicks on my New York dick
Yeah, I'm on my New York shit!
See how I kill it with my New York spit
Thanks to the boroughs now I'm New York rich
The way I flood 'em thorough with my New York hits
[Hook: Swizz Beatz | Busta Rhymes]
If you from New York (New York), stand up right now! (Straight up)
If you from New York (New York), hands up right now!
Get it up, get it up, get it-get it-get it up (Oh! Oh!)
Get it up, get it up, get it-get it-get it up (Oh! Oh! Shhh, ow!)
Get it up, get it up, get it-get it-get it up (Oh! Oh!)
Get it up, get it up, get it-get it-get it up (Oh! Oh! Ow)

Got a nickel crack hand-to-hand niggas
On a hustle rebellin', while the D's calculatin' who sellin'
Sell drugs right in front of the deli

Introduce you to the new walk, nigga, and the new talk, nigga
That's how we do when we in New York, nigga
Yeah, yeah, I'm on my New York shit
Every hood love me for my New York skill
I got a lot of money on that New York strip
Gully, rock a scully with a New York fit
Yeah, I'm on my New York shit!
Run up in the Tunnel, catch a New York vick
O.D.B. reppin' New York sick
Shit, you want the truth, take a New York trip!
[Hook: Swizz Beatz | Busta Rhymes]
If you from New York (New York), stand up right now! (Straight up)

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

“New York Shit” was the third single released for Busta Rhymes' 7th solo album, The Big Bang, featuring vocals on the hook from Swizz Beatz, despite the fact that Beatz did not actually produce this song – it’s production is handled by DJ Scratch, which Busta makes clear on the intro to the song.

This song is an ode to New York, of course, and the single release features a two minute extended outro where Busta shouts out a load of NY rappers and producers, among other things. The happy, understated production makes this a chill listening experience, and the memorable Swizz Beatz feature shows that this was a good choice for a single.

The single release for the song was released on July 10th, 2006, almost a month after the albums release, and peaked at number 77 on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
