Knicks by Freddie Gibbs

About Knicks

"Knicks" thematically represents how even as time goes by and things in your life may change, life repeats itself. Finding yourself in all too familiar situations time after time. It also features the common themes of hustling and struggling for money. Freddie cleverly relays this message through basketball metaphors specifically about the New York Knicks. This song also serves as a continuation of the Lakers/Knicks series on the album. Also note the ever present double entendre: Knicks/Nickel. .

Knicks Lyrics

[00:07.65] Pippen on the assist
[00:08.99] I'm watching Jordan drop a double nickel on the Knicks
[00:11.68] That was '95, couple of us ain't live til '96
[00:14.13] Gangbanging, cane slanging had us caught up in a twist
[00:16.76] We was middle school fools, life was rushing past me
[00:19.90] Fresh up out a school bus fighting up at Pulaski
[00:22.47] Uncle hit me off with a zip, now I get some cash, G
[00:25.28] "Where will you get some money for Nikes?" my mama asked me
[00:29.01] I got it selling nickle bags
[00:30.77] Stress, weed, million seeds, where the liquor at?
[00:33.40] Mad Dog 20/20, kept a nigga loose
[00:35.95] Murder was the case except a niggas taste the gin and juice
[00:38.94] Cause then we gon' be riding on some bullshit
[00:41.75] Shoot up a nigga crib, that's some hood shit
[00:44.37] And I can give a fuck who in the house sleep
[00:46.57] Waking up the neighbors, shoot my trey eight at the police, bitch
[00:58.44] I got it selling nickel bags, bitch
[01:11.97] Chilling with a bitch
[01:13.17] Watching LeBron put up a 56 on the Knicks
[01:15.88] In 2005, police killed my nigga in 2006
[01:18.83] Only thing he losing is his pension, ain't that 'bout a bitch
[01:21.43] If I see that ho I got a slug for him
[01:23.48] I wanna kill him slow like I ain't got no love for him
[01:26.16] I wanna torture and burn him, drag him to hell with me
[01:28.82] This for my nigga just lurking, working the scale with me
[01:31.37] In these last days, on my last page
[01:33.82] Fuck a job, I'm whipping this butter cause crime pays
[01:36.56] In these last days, on my last page
[01:39.20] Fuck a job, I'm serving these cluckers cause crime pays
[01:41.67] I'm a lunatic by nature
[01:43.43] Yeah, kidnap a family for his paper
[01:46.26] Yeah, and if you make it through the day, bro
[01:48.96] Yeah, pray to God I ain't stank ya, bitch
[01:52.21]
