Texty

[Verse 1]
(Okay, now we're back again)
(And of course you're listening to WBAI New York)
(And this program is 'Labbrish')
(My name is Habte Selassie and we were speaking with Baba)
(Or maybe Ras Baba)
(Try give a message?)
(Hello?)
(Go ahead, man)
(Yeah, I'd just like to say let's have some music now?)
(Okay, okay)
(Thank you)
[Verse 2]
Now lightning strikes in old New York
It may be dark but I wanna talk
It might rain, it might snow
There's too many things I got to know
If this is spring then it's time to sing
Never mind the little birdies wing
Look out, look out, old New York
New York's coming and New York talks
[Verse 3]
Hey! Strike! Not once
Strike! But twice!
[Verse 4]
Get out your money peel a slab
Roll some notes and hail a cab
Drive in church drive in back
Drive down Seventh in a tank
Take in the sights, feel the breeze
See New York's one and only tree
It can be found in Garbage park
But don't inspect it after dark, no
[Verse 5]
Strike! New York! Lightning!
Not once but twice
[Verse 6]
Accidental hike in the transit strike
Roller skate or ride a bike
Three to a car, Brooklyn Bridge
You won't get far if you're privileged
Graffiti Jack sprays in black
An Englishman can he read it back?
Deli Joe he ought to know
He runs the gang on Pastrami Row
[Verse 7]
Strike! Lightning strike!
[Verse 8]
Because glass to glass, street to street
Buildings touch St. Peter's feet
From car to bar, from prez to shah
Everything is in the jar
The four winds blow 'cause the four winds know
Takes a special hustle to make a roll
Honey girl on her feet
I wish everything to make her sweet
[Verse 9]
Ow!
Strike!
Strike, ow!
Yeah
Lightning! Strike!
Not once but twice
Okay, so roll
Yo!
Serious
Yo!
Because
From Harlem!
Strike one!
Lightning strike!
[Verse 10]
Harlem slum to penthouse block
On every door I already knocked
There wasn't anybody that I didn't leave alone
Somebody lying under every stone
Everything that a man could need
Is in a bag down by my knee
That looks good, this ain't got seeds
Cheaper than booze down in the Bowery
[Verse 11]
Ow! Lightning strike!
Old New York!
Everything's light!
Strike! Lightning strike!
[Verse 12]
Hey ho, such a night
I'll see you all when the lightning strike
A Polaroid, caught in the act
You're married too and that's a fact
But I won't peek and I won't squeak
Down by the trucks on Christopher Street
It's Cuban Day, oy vey!
Chinese New Year, let's call it a day
Because lightning strike
Yeah!
Tootsie!
Strike!
Lightning
Yeah!
[Verse 13]
Hey, Chi man!
That melody is Puerto Rican
Hey Chi man is what he's speaking
And there's the road down into London Town
Where many cars get broken down
It's the Westway from Ladbroke Grove
Runs down to Old Hounslow
I just thought, thought I'd, thought I'd, thought
Because, because, you know
Just thought I would mention the new extension
That run's down the 59th street intersection
Did you hear the news, y'all?
London Town on the Broadway!
Strike!
