Queens is the easternmost of the five boroughs of New York City and the largest in area and the second-largest in population. Since 1899, Queens has had the same boundaries as Queens County, which is now the second most populous county in New York State and the fourth-most densely populated county in the United States. Queens, as well as neighboring borough Brooklyn, sits on the west end of geographic Long Island.

Were each New York City borough an independent city, Queens would be the nation's fourth largest city, after Los Angeles, Chicago, and Brooklyn. Queens has the second-largest and most diversified economy of all the five boroughs of New York City.Long Island City, on the Queens waterfront across from Manhattan on the East River, is the site of the Citicorp Building, the tallest skyscraper in New York City outside of Manhattan and the tallest building on geographic Long Island.

(Noreaga talking)
Outlaw, Outlaw
Uhh-uhh. Yo give me some of that haze man. That purple haze.
I don't wanna smoke that fucking haze wit this wood no more.
Hydro. Shit got my hydro tasting like smydro.
I'ma smoke a straight haze right now.(straight haze)
Pone roll up there. ya heard me
Yo Slaam roll up there ya heard me Ok Slaam.
It's like this yo...
(Noreaga)
Yo, yo Blood money is the anthem, its never a myth
I smoke weed and I get drunk, and ride with gifts
If I don't roll, then my nigga Baby he just twist
He rolls Phillies and he busts the big the four-fifth
See shit change because I normally came
On the R train now me and 5 in the Range
We used to twist Phillies and fuck hoes, switch cars and trade guns
Them Queens niggaz then we landed in the millions
Iraq and the Bridge, the only difference is the buildings
The same crime rates and the same damn killings
A slice of pizza, and quarter water my juice
but now I'm Carhart and bullet proof is under my goose
and go to hell to that nigga that snitched on deuce
the curly-haired fro, I cut my hair but my beard grow
Yo where my beers go Send them right here yo
Yo party's over tell the rest of the crew
Stash the drugs, the guns go to section two
See me, all my life yo I had to sell drugs
While you grew up with straight nerds I grew up with thugs
While you grew up with straight nerds I grew up with thugs
(Chorus: Complexions)
Through the test of time, I strive to get my shine
Upon them lives, slanging rocks cuz the world is mine
I look out for you, and you look out for me
And we hold it down, you just wait and see
Platinum chains and Carti' frames and jewels
Now these broke niggaz start to act a fool
Don't you know Thugged Out straight eat ya food
We keep guns on our sides, you know how dunn thugs do
Cause I'll be there with my thugs
I'll be right here waiting on you
(Capone)
For my niggaz who bust pies
the customized fives
to the vals, to the railroaded trails I cuss cops
enough shots and any generation
I spit dead a plot in the making I ride for every thug in the basement
my soul is cuffed to the corner, every gate, every car table
every welcome to the hood sign
batting good times
Its on over the projects a dark cloud one sided
till death bitches burning in gossip
Its my turn to deposit
the real, the logic, no college
just dollars and criminal knowledge
me and my codies, pass rodies
I flash mo' wheat, than cash Cody
Keep the mac on me
When U stack niggaz act phony
shit in the ghetto, I spread love and shed blood
never swear to a dead thug
my name should be brough up in fame
never said in vain
Spread like a letter chain
In criminal slang.
(Chorus)
We done had some time
I strive to get my shine
On the block, slanging rocks cuz the world is mine
I look out for you, and you look out for me.
And we hold it down, you just wait and see
Platinum chains and cardy frames and jewells
Now these broke niggaz start act a fool
Don't you know thugged out, straight eat ya food
We keep guns on our sides
You know how dunn thugs do
Cuz I'll be there with my thugs
I'll be right here waiting on you.

[Chorus:]
This Here One Is For The Queens
'cause It's You That Make Me Deh
I Say It's You That Make Me Be
This Is For All The Sweet Dreams
How Much Injustice You Have To Face
Before You I Bow My Knees
[Verse 1:]
How Many Times Your Man Gone
While You Stay Alone With Your Daughters And Sons
How Many Times The Man Hit' And Run'
'cause Responsibility Ha Can't Stand
How Many Times Tell Me How Many Times
You Have To Face Discrimination
How Many Times Tell Me How Many Times
You Get Lick By Your Man
But It Is You That Makes The World Go 'round
Let Nobody Put You Down You Have To Wear The Crown
It Is You That Make The World Go 'round
Know The Value Of Yourself And Let Nobody Put You Down
[Bridge:]
Don't Let Them Tell You Who You Are
Never Ever Bow No No No No
Rise And Take Your Stand
Queens Of This World To You I Dedicate My Song
[Chorus]
[Verse 2:]
Upon Your Shoulders You Carry
So Much Responsibility For This Strayed Humanity
It Is You That Rule Our Destiny
In Your Heart You Bear
All The Future Of This Earth
I Tell You If You Wasn't Here
The End Would Be Near. No Title Of This World Can Give You
Royality Of Birth
You Could Wear Diamonds And Pearls
Into A Queen You Still Can't Be Turned
It's A Profession You Can't Learn
And It's A Title You Can't Earn
All True Born Queens Hold Firm
'cause It's You That Makes The World Go 'round
Make Nobody Put You Down You Have To Wear The Crown
It's You That Makes The World Go 'round
Know The Value Of Yourself And Make Nobody Put You Down
[Bridge:]
Don't Let Them Tell You Who You Are
Never Ever Bow No No No No
Keep You Temple Clean
Queens, Queens, Queens, Queens, Queens
He he heh, hey yo
There's a place I know where the bitches go
Where they rob you for your dough and shit on the low
In Southside, Queens, Queens where if you say the ave
People automatically know the path
You don't have to do the math in Southside Queens, Queens
I knew this nigga named Donovan
Astonishin' the way he used to handle the pill God
(Word?)
Let me speak about the way he used to dribble off his knees
And in the middle at the same time guzzlin' a beer
Like a puzzle or a riddle, discoverin' his path to the hoop
Scoop, shot, tipped up the backboard, oops
Son got hops, never knew he woulda grew it
Cool nigga, when it came to school he blew it
A scholar in acute niggarisms and metropolitans
Get taller and yo Donovan hey come around the block
Youngest of three sons, fuckin' with coupons and refunds
food stamps, and still he was a champ
Time to get loot for boots and kicks now
Fuck hoops gotta impress the chicks now
His momma said, "Donovan why are you
On the corner of Linden and Guy R. Brewer"
He said, "Momma listen close I'ma tell you one time
You're killin' my high, plus I got a nine
All I be doin' is puttin' in work
So you can get a brand new dress for church?
I know the devil lurks outside, man it's cold
But I don't wanna get paid slow, and grow old
Like poppa plus I'm on parole I gotta
Get paid off the streets, to make ends meet
With the back of her hand, she smacked him in the face
Walked out of the crib-piece, pissed with no taste
That night, rockin' Nikes, eatin' Mike'n'Ikes
Slapboxin' with a dyke on a bike too small
Thinkin', this time, next year, mom'll be able to, oh
Shit from across the streets, niggaz approach slow
Well, get the metal out, too late, the guns flash
In the melee they wet him like Reggae Sun splash
Sun dashed with the quickness, back into the ride
With a smile on his face, the picture of pride
Blood comin' from his mouth, now I'm at his side
Kneelin' over Donovan's body before he died
Eyes flutterin' up and down in his head
And with his last breath this is what he said
He said, "Why, why?"
Then I closed his eyes
There's a place I know where the people go
Where you can cash dough and chill on the low
In Southside Queens, Queens, where if you say the ave
People automatically know the path
You don't have to do the math in Southside Queens, Queens
And if you got a glock, you could bust shots
Like [unverified], when the block be hot
In what we talkin' 'bout Queens, Queens
Uh, come on uh, come on, uh uh
I know where people go
(Noreaga talking)

Freeze the Frame where I take the blame.
I'll make you love me if It's all I do.
I've got the keys to your heart, and I'm coming inside.
You're never gonna stop me.
I'll tell the burning to stop, but I'm coming inside.
You're never gonna stop me.
I'll freeze the frame if you'll take the blame.
You're burning up the things you touch,
And the things you love.
You're voice will awaken the man inside.
I've been dying to reach your fire.
All of my dreams will come true tonight.
I've been waiting for all my life.
All of my dreams will come true tonight
All of my dreams will come true tonight
I've got the keys to your heart, and I'm coming inside
You're never gonna stop me.
I'll tell the burning to stop, but I'm coming inside.
You're never gonna stop me.
I've got the keys to your heart burning inside.

It's place called Queens,

in a world where I've never been.
(Indistinguishable)
In search of twins,
My body's cold as I amble.
(Indistinguishable)
facing worlds that I've never seen.
This light falls from hidden skies
This hidden portrait sees if anything goes wrong
My self reflected soul can't find
The reason being for the cruelty in our past
And still it lasts
Those happy months all went by so fast
Why do many people use this unforgotten word
To hard to find, what can I find
I'll only search for happy endings
Non-fiction journals into stories
So keep trying keep trying
So keep trying
And Queens keep on fighting
Don't stop from trying
So Queens, Oh Queens keep on fighting
Still I seem to speak the word I wonder if I'll stop
The hidden portrait sees if anything goes wrong
As I watch the couple sway together never fall
Will there ever be a time where differences don't fall
I looked for love
This sudden hatred will someday begin too fast
And still it lasts
I'll only search for happy endings
Non-fiction journeys into stories
So keep trying keep trying
So keep trying
And Queens keep on fighting
Don't stop from trying
