Harlem 101 E Lyrics by A$AP TyY

Best Kept Secret

2016

[Spoken]
Can you explain how Harlem is that
Small but we internationally large
Yeah!! And it’s because of the money
Internationally known because
A lot of these nigga had to come here to get their respect
Like if you was getting money in New York
You had to come up to harlem niggas
A harlem had to see if you was getting money
You gotta get blessed into this money whole game here
You understand, yeah you might have a ferrari where you at right
Or you might have that nice car where you at
But you probly the only nigga over there with that
You come to Harlem you probably go see 30 niggas with that car
Or even some different rims on it
Niggas that’s inside the seat
Harlem nigga not go copy no other nigga
Even if they have the same car his shit not go look nothing like yours
He can’t be under no nigga shadow
A Harlem nigga, that’s why a Harlem nigga really ain’t make it in the rap game
Them niggas don’t listen, it’s hard for
It’s hard to get a Harlem nigga to bow down
It’s like, we wasn’t raised like that
We was raised to stand up like black people up this mother fucker
You understand
Back in the back in the 20’s and the 30’s and the 40’s
It’s not like anybody else was being freaking bombarded with racism
Niggas in Harlem was getting money
Niggas had clubs and all that cotton club niggas up here singing
Jazz and all that coming through
You had the mother fucking money flowing through this mother fucker here
Harlem niggas was distinct and different
