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!
