For my family for my friends



for those that we've lost I sing



this is a message, this is for you



never forget the lower east side crew!

I remember all times we spent



and all that we went through



down on avenue A



the year was 1982!

HARDCORE! New York City!



NEW YORK!



that's how we live it!

we always stuck together



we always had something to prove



we gave birth to a movement



this is for the old school and the new!

HARDCORE! New York City!



NEW YORK!



that's how we live it!
