[Nas:] With the Kings of rock now, nigga

Know what I mean?

[DMC:] Queens day cash made on Hollis Ave.

Queen's Queen's Queen's

yea yea yea, make, make it, make it seem easy

Queens day cash made on Hollis Ave.

Q-B-O-R-O nigga

Yo, from the days of encore

Niggers hung around blocks and corner stores

Huggin' gold chains of fantasies rushing the door

Niggers from Rochdale, poppin' shells snatching rings

Fly from sure kings from Queens press the one-eighteen

I have my eyes open stepping out into the world

So fiendish, Old English till I earl, growing pains

a young kid learning early how to know the game

USA roller-skate ring, marks the crews with techniques

Clean streets, hustlers, crack, cocaine

Getting back by throwing block parties and basketball games

A lot of cash made on Hollis Ave

Fast to change, high rollers was living,

Until the taskforce came

A lot of ghost-towns and memories, bad-blooded enemies

So many die with the same gangster pride that entered me

These are the old-timers, they who taught us

How to stand strong and pass it on to the sons and daughters

With your flow, and I'm proud to be all that I know

Q-B-O-R-O, nigga who I'd die for, survive war

How we came a long way in solidarity

Don't let nothing try to spoil this day

To Run, D and Jay is love and my thugs salute

Cause real love is the only thing that comes above this loot

Carhard jeans that makes me think of LL's troops

Let's celebrate it's Queens day this one's for you

Queens day

Cash made on Hollis Ave Q, B-O-R-O nigga

make it, make it seem easy

Queens day

Cash made on Hollis Ave Q, B-O-R-O nigga

make it, make it seem easy

Queens day

Cash made on Hollis Ave Q, B-O-R-O nigga

make it, make it seem easy

Queens day

Cash made on Hollis Ave Queens, Queens....

Some come out of their hometown and they never get dough

But three teens from Queens take over the world and never let go

Just regular cats you know, that just happened to blow

Not synonymous with Hollis Jay, Darryl and Joe

Ayo we made it so that others can grow

Look at LL, A Tribe Called Quest , mam and Nas let's go

Ain't taking credit be showing pride look at us now

Got haters mouths all opened wide wondering how

In some cases the only thing that father and son

Have in common, is their love for Run

Been the illest since day one, too advanced to ever be caught

Who's more legendary than me? That's what I thought

And if somebody want to test mine, yo watch this:

Peter Piper picked pepper:

See, I knew you knew the next line, and I bet you said it

Just spend a minute, I'm still the king of the world

So don't forget it:

Queens day

Cash made on Hollis Ave Q, B-O-R-O nigga

make it, make it seem easy

Queens day

Cash made on Hollis Ave Q, B-O-R-O nigga

make it, make it seem easy

Queens day

Cash made on Hollis Ave Q, B-O-R-O nigga

make it, make it seem easy

Queens day

Cash made on Hollis Ave Q, B-O-R-O nigga, who I die for

[This verse needs some work]

This is for my Q dogs, who lit a block's bright spark

We grew up on Old English, summertime Roy with this park

used to be the shit While they had to stop

on the Ave niggas looting all the jewelry spots

Kicked the shirt kegs for ewe everybody stopped

Let it match my cork tests nights

Niggas getting raw, get the back door

Coming out with bags, we used to get our go fronts

From Eddy's gold caps, whatcha know about that

I bet the whole Queens go around 86th with the Chrome bash crew

The young guns and laws voice made the new scream

Create Death story two

The story is true, so let's party for the furor we say

And everybody come outside, cause it's Queens day kid

Queens day

Cash made on Hollis Ave Q, B-O-R-O nigga

make it, make it seem easy

Queens day

Cash made on Hollis Ave Q, B-O-R-O nigga

make it, make it seem easy

Queens day

Cash made on Hollis Ave Q, B-O-R-O nigga

make it, make it seem easy

Queens day

Cash made on Hollis Ave Q, B-O-R-O nigga

make it, make it seem easy

Queens day

Cash made on Hollis Ave Q, B-O-R-O nigga

make it, make it seem easy

Queens day

Cash made on Hollis Ave Q, B-O-R-O nigga

make it, make it seem easy
