Lyrics
New York Ties
=============
Dornmi Figlio mio
Dornmi
Dornmi Figlio mio
Questo Sara Tutto Tuo Un Giorno
Some call it a job
Some call a crime
Some call it incarceration
Or just doing time
Yeah just doing time
Growing up on the streets
You learn how to survive
You learn how to win
.with New York Ties
Some call it alibis
Some call it lies
The good cop - bad cop routine
With a hot light in your eyes
One phone call to the lawyer
To clue in your guys
And your "Spring Time" a little shorter
If you've got New York ties
Tony D The Ice man , Shorty the Killer The Solanos Jimmy the Gent and the Kid Rocco ended BillyZ
when he said " I need my cut by tomorrow"
But nobody's ready to throw in the towel
Nah
But the feds are pickin up everyone
Whose last name ends in a vowel
Capo di tutti Capi
You want to have it all
subentrare
Means
someone's
family's gonna fall
Someones family's Gonna fall
