Verse 1
Late last month, I went to Manhattan and
Thought I'd go, out for a jog
Cops rolled up, beat me with two by fours
Peed on me, and so did their dog
They thought I was a thug looking to start a fight
Cause I was near Harlem and oh crap, I'm white
Cuffed me up, threw me into their car
Which smelled like, a burning bog

Chorus
NY, NY, NY, NYPD
NY, NY, NY (Somebody let me out!)
NY, NY, NY, NYPD
NY, NY, NY (This is ridiculous)
NY, NY, NY, NYPD
NY, NY, NY (I'm busting out)
NY, NY, NY, NYPD
NY, NY, NY (I'm mocking these cops)

Now I'll be in jail for life, jail for life

Verse 2
Now hold up, who said you could touch my stuff
Hey, that's rude, that's MY food
They think I'm smuggling heroin,
Now haven't these guys heard of proof?
They think that I'm the leader of a drug cartel
Now don't you put that glove on, you can go to hell
Just hold up, I'm a Canadian
They said, A-ha, he'll have weed

Chorus

They took my magazines, they took my jellybeans
They took my book about kites
They took my barbecue, they want my wallet too
Don't touch my butt, I have rights!

Chorus
