It was 1960 and doo wop was the sound on the streets
(Standing on the corner)
Mickey Mantle was like a god to me
My dad would take me to Yankee Stadium and we would watch the Yankees win
Woooh Double A whattup
Meet me out at Stans, 24 oz cans
Or maybe we in Billy's ripping shots twisting Phillies
Like 2009 flow still out of my mind
Michael Kay John Sterling those the sounds of the times
Like white girls posting vacation photos I'm yelling take me back
Couldn't look your boy in the eye they couldn't face the facts
Shoulda rocked my Jason mask
Back on my October shit
Killing, they on their sober shit
Cheering spilling while holding it
We steam sativas you see my features the cleanest sneakers
A Judge jersey or either Jeter's a bleacher creature
Tell them boys I'm a monster
Tell 'em to do what you gotta
And tell them boys I'ma holla
Pettitte, Rivera, Posada
Your boy is the whole enchilada
But please no cappin with the captain
Know I'm still all bout a dolla
I learned early Mickey Mantle never paid my rent
Rappers just like fair weather fans
I see they came and went (Standing on the corner)
Like I'm scalpin
27 Of them fuckin things but whose counting
Don Zimmer you mothafuckers just played the bench
Nothing is more valuable than time and the way it's spent
So bury me in the stands
Or maybe out at Stans 24 oz cans
See you can brag about Manhattan if you want
But the greatest thing in New York still belongs in The Bronx
If you never been to a Yankee game this tape is not for you
If you don't enjoy soulful New York hiphop this tape is not for you
If you never owned a pair of Timberlands this tape is not for you
If you never owned a Yankee fitted
This tape is not for you
If you never copped a mixtape on Fordham Road
Canal Street, your local barbershop or bodega
This tape is not for you
If you don't know what a bodega is this tape is definitely not for you
If you don't know what a nutcracker is this tape is not for you
If you don't know who John Sterling Michael Kay
Or Mike Francesa is this tape is not for you
If your a Red Sox fan kill yourself
