about

I wrote the first verse of this song as apart of my application to NYU. So I finished the song and put it on the EP.

lyrics

NYU
VERSE 1
New York University, knowing you never heard of me,
I gotta give it to you personally/ in this right her(e) CD
My name’s NyleE for the future there’s no uncertainty
I’m certain to be an entity/ in this musical industry.
Now don’t turn inadvertently, or give me a third degree
I’m not another one of those brothers chasing fantasy
emphatically, actually I want my satisfaction naturally.
Making a lasting impact in the acts in music so tactfully.
Like Acrobatik we need balance, not just conscious, it’s a challenge,
to be creative, but also callous, to have a conscience, you need talent.
I got it! I’m the distentary visionary,
forseeing the b.s. that goes on the scenes, its scary.
Those on top becoming obsessed with the excess, stressing over the lexus
Using music as a product instead of a nexus.
So who would reject this necklace, and black hummer that stretches,
dumbing down your rhymes giving people the expected.
But non-expressive lines kept unreal don’t get you respected
it only gives the kids that’s listening the same perspective.
We take it from the barrio to radio
and in the middle is the label and the studio
We’re trying to change the middle, so your taste won’t be cripple
But we’re trying to do it with you, so here we go…

VERSE 2
New York! New York! Home of the slick talk that walk walks
in big parks where hip-hop got sparked,
and I’m from Philly so I’s born and raised in the city.
Walked the streets tax made pretty to the one crack made gritty,
In fact I feel the rhythm of the city wherever I go.
But I’m trying to live up to my name and maintain the longest flow.
and its already fluid, ‘cause I’m spittin and I love my music,
so if I wanna excel, New York City’s the place to do it.
So get ready, ‘cause here I come___.
I’m bringing the flavor to scramble the buds on your tongue.
Through the buds in your ear, so let me make myself clear
Hotness! (is) what you’ll be hearing for the next for years.
(Aww Yeah!) don’t fear, the fire that I’m spittin
my writtens getting ya higher like a note from Mariah,
and I ain’t trying to be New York’s sire or rap’s Messiah
‘cause I’m with the real JeHova, and he’ll never retire

VERSE 3
You pronounce my name NyelLee, any questions?
Let’s hold Q & A for Sin-Sin’s best freshman.
Hello, my name’s Nyle (Hello) how ya doin?
that’s right, I’m class of ’09. And I live in Rubin
My major’s Recorded Music, that’s the one in Tisch
(Uhhh) No I’m not gay. (Oh) And I don’t know the Olsen Twins. (Aww)
they say I go to NYU so I must be rich…
or smart. Enough to get a lot of scholarships
dig myself out of a ditch, with a toothpick, and I made it!
Enrolled in a program affiliated with Clive Davis,
Amazing! I’m looking out on the New York City skyline
and in my mind, like Scarface The World is Mine!
So Yes! it’s my time. Yes! I’m gonna rip it
Yes Imma be the best to ever spit this lingo
But to answer the most important question on your mind
the answer’s Yes! Ladies, I’m single
