Like Hawaii 5-0 or karate flicks
Tried to get this feelin' since Monday
And sit with the Phoenicians diggin' on musicians
Vibe off the jams but don't take them for granted, just chill
Hip-Hop's all around the members is growin'
New York is red hot, New York is red hot
Sunday's to relax, Sunday's to relax
My man, do planets do it lovely? Am I my brother's keeper?
New York is red hot, New York is red hot
New York is red hot, New York is red hot
Maybe it's a rerun of an old TV show
Maybe it's The Runnin' Rebs, maybe it's The Knicks
New York is red hot, is red hot
Extensive is the travels and it's heavy on the sneaks
The baseball hats is on and the projects is calm
(Three, Four)
Buggin' off the calmness in the Apple
But you be thinkin' damn everybody's got a glock
Who me? I'm coolin' in New York, I'm chillin' in New York
We foot it to the park where the swoon units walk
New York is red hot, New York is red hot
NY is a museum with its posters and graffiti
Please dig on the sounds 'cause the good vibes they snowin'
If you know the norm it's like Hades transformed
Speakin' on some cool things frontin' like I cope
Reachin' for Pacific heights, Sunday is my rope, dig it
Lookin' out the window watchin' all the people go
So chill
We venture through the streets in search of funky beats
Wake up, prayin' that the game's on
Dream time's extended and highly recommended
New York is red hot, New York is red hot
New York is red hot, New York is red hot
But early birds like me's up checkin' out the scene
You be thinkin' peace when you're vibin' with your flock
If you're in the city on Sunday, come check me, get with me
New York is red hot, New York is red hot
Or else violence
Vibin' off the jams of the crews on Sugar Hill
New York is red hot, New York is red hot
The hot line is in, I guess The Silvers knew the deal
Ye, it's kickin' out the speakers of the Sunday morning jeepers
It's time to grab some loot put on the timber boots
New York is red hot, New York is red hot
So get with the rhythms while you gettin' with the planets
On the air is incense sounds to the ceiling
New York is red hot, New York is red hot
If you got some beef please express that in silence
Mingus's Ah Um, damn Roach can drum
New York is red hot, New York is red hot
Checkin' out some dollies, Dali's like Tasha and Kamali
But right here is the life it's the children of the concrete
Buggin' off a funny vibe 'cause now it seems they're equal
Lay around and think ain't nothin' to do
Born under flat ground now I'm chillin' shaky ground
Just come dig the essence while the decadence is hidden
The hoods is on my block and the brothers at the court
On Sunday's early hours the city sprouts its flowers
Maybe if the phone rings butterfly will take wings
Checkin' out some frommes, some satre, camus
(One, two)
Livin' off the fruits and the functions of the fat beats
Hangin' with the rebels sippin' on a sin apple
The DP's are life, there they go, here they come
Buggin' with my crew just trippin' in the Apple
The early worms jog, forget about your job
New York is red hot, New York is red hot
When people act like people the theory is incagin'
Some Sunday mornin' drama is callin' up my mama
Wonder what would 'Trane say, wonder what my pop say
