Sirens in the night, helicopters in the fogManhattan locked down, every block a war logRikers was the island, now the island the stateWalls around the boroughs, welcome to the inmate fateRed flags rising where the skyline once shinedCommies took the city while the world turned blindTimes Square burning, revolution in the airSmoke over Broadway, panic everywhereSnake in the shadows with the name Mamdani, he ain't nothing but a dirty commie.Helicopters search the skyline but the ghost stay slyNeon flicker, Times Square look like a rat cageEvery alley got a legend, every corner got rageFrom Brooklyn to the Bronx hear the subway screamSteel wheels grinding like a nightmare dreamQueensbridge whispers where the hustlers stay aliveHarlem got the rhythm where the warriors surviveChildren in the cold with the hunger in their stareBread lines empty, desperation everywhereRumors in the tunnels say a plague on the wayNew Yorkers disappeared and now the city's run by ratsEmpire State towering over burning streetsConcrete jungle heartbeat dead under my feetThey stole the entire city but the brave won’t dieEvery rooftop got a rebel watching from the skyYeah we move through the night like a phantom in blackNo badge, no chains, ain't no turning backIf you want off the island gotta fight through the flameEscape From New York City the survival game, 'cause I'm telling youYou can't escapeEscapeYou can't escapeFrom New York CityYou can't escape the survival gameIt's too late, you will never escapeEscapeIt's too lateFrom New York City
