[Chorus]
(New York, New York, New York)
In a New York minute (Ooh, ooh-oooh)
Everything can change
In a New York minute (Ooh, ooh-oooh)
Things could get pretty strange
In a New York minute (Ooh, ooh-oooh)
Everything can change
In a New York minute
(Ooh, ooh-oooh)
French
Montana
(New York, New York, New York, New York)
Uh

[Verse 1: French Montana]
You can get your neck broke, face cracked, laid flat
And give everything that you made back, eight clap
Make a sun visor out ya wavecap
Pray that New York Minute'll bring Ma$e back
Shame that Remy took eight flat, you know the game wack
And every last rapper here tried bring the name back
It ain't rap, niggas better stay strapped
Or you could call the stick-up boys, try to get your chain back
(In a New York minute)
They thought the game was over
When B.I.G. died, then homie Hov took it over
(In a New York minute)
They shot Pac five times
Years later, them boys took Shyne
(In a New York minute)
That ain't even the least
Akon signed the hottest nigga in the streets
(In a New York minute)
We gave swagger to the game
Still and all, everything can change

[Chorus]
In a New York minute (Ooh, ooh-oooh)
Everything can change
In a New York minute (Ooh, ooh-oooh)
Things could get pretty strange
Y'all already know, uh
In a New York minute (Ooh, ooh-oooh)
Everything can change
In a New York minute
(Ooh, ooh-oooh)
(New York, New York, New York, New York)

[Verse 2: Jadakiss]
Uh, yeah
You could get your wig clapped, kidnapped, bitch-slapped
A two to four could turn into a six flat, if that
C-4 to your mom's front door, gift-wrapped
Whole fanbase could start thinkin' that your shit's wack
You could be at the gas station and get ya whip jacked
Get yapped, pay a nigga bread, get ya shit back
Right back, everything could change, just like that
Get pulled over on your way bringin' that white back
(In a New York minute)
Rappers stopped sellin'
Kim did a year and a day for not tellin'
(In a New York minute)
Fox went deaf in one ear too, shortly after that she did a year too
(In a New York minute)
I beat the case, not enough evidence
Get ready to see a black President
(In a New York minute)
You can download a whole album
Now you see where these niggas get their style from
What

[Chorus]
In a New York minute (Ooh, ooh-oooh)
Everything can change
In a New York minute (Ooh, ooh-oooh)
Things could get pretty strange
Y'all already know, uh
In a New York minute (Ooh, ooh-oooh)
Everything can change
In a New York minute
(Ooh, ooh-oooh)
(New York, New York, New York, New York)

Born Karim Kharbouch in Casablanca, Morocco, 1984, French Montana’s pursuit of the “American Dream” began in 1996 when he and his family emigrated to the Bronx, New York.

He began by selling ‘Cocaine City’ mixtapes and DVD’s with his mentor Max B, and eventually garnered the attention of major label executives, signing a deal with Akon’s Konvict Music Label. The deal fell through in 2011 due to album delays, and as a result, French signed a joint deal with Bad Boy and Maybach Music in late 2011 early 2012.

He is possibly one of the hardest working rappers of the past era, releasing over 23 bodies of work along with many features, chart-toppers, and production credits.
