kerplunkerr Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 holy shit are we sure this is really billie?! haha it sounds literally nothing like him! i love it though. i know right?! first i was waiting him to come but actually he starts the song!!! "new york big city of dreams and you know i run this town..."
AfterShock Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 as the song goes on it sounds more like him, but the beginning? didn't sound like him at all to me at first haha. Idk, as soon as the first "town" comes in it registers as Billie for me, the first part is a little shaky though I'll give you that
The Forgotten Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 now that I've properly digested the song, I can tell it's Billie... but it's different.
Akshat Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 I knew it was Billie with the very first lines.He sounds kind of like he did in Lady Cobra/Nightlife
MaraGreenDay Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 Now that i listen to the song more than 5 times i can tell i just like the parts where Billie sings
Clean Cut Asshole Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 I can tell it's Billie. But am I the only one who thinks it kinda sucks?
Clean Cut Asshole Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 i'm sure you aren't the only one who thinks that it's certainly no musical masterpiece but it's a fun song and that's all i wanted/expected from this. i just think it's cool to hear him doing something different. No, it's by far not a musical masterpiece. But I guess it's not so bad if you just take it as something that's supposed to be fun. Though I think it's better than "Nightlife"...
The Forgotten Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 No, it's by far not a musical masterpiece. But I guess it's not so bad if you just take it as something that's supposed to be fun. Though I think it's better than "Nightlife"... Keep in mind this song on an album with songs such as "I fucked my aunt", "Semi-colon", and "Diaper Money". It's all meant to be stupid and silly
Clean Cut Asshole Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 Its kinda fun. Just fun, okay? Don't over analyze it. That's what I said, it's not so bad if you just take it as something that's supposed to be fun.

It's all meant to be stupid and silly Like I said, I guess it's kinda fun. I just didn't know who Lonely Island was, I wasn't expecting rap. Sorry, rap's just not my thing.
Mar Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 I can tell it's Billie. But am I the only one who thinks it kinda sucks? I'm disappointed as a Lonely Island fan, yknow? Billie aside, it's another meh song from this album; to me, they're just not as funny as they were when they were working on SNL.
ANJI Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 Here's my first attempt on the lyrics. I know there's probably mistakes and there's loads of blanks, if you guys could help me figure them out Ladies and gentlemen, the Mayor of New York Good Morning. It's been brought to my attention that many rap artists claim that they run New York. But this is not the case. In fact i wrote my own song about what its really like. Please excuse the profanity in advance. Hit it. I RUN NEW YORK! New York big city of dreams And you know that i run this town (I run it!) King of the streets dressed in concrete Skyscrapers on my crown (I'm the king!) So if you want this Big Apple come try to take a bite Cos i run this motherfucking city and i wont give it up without a fight. Yo i run New York, its a pain in the ass The city's crowded as fuck and its covered in trash And the city takes you (cheap) to shuffle Shit in my face Another transit strike Oh fucking great! I cant wait to have another meeting with the Labour Union So my ma can bend me over and then shove their fucking shoe in But i do it, so you can zip your pocket... ....running New York and its exhausting. I run New York, its a fuckin headache It really wears you down (it sucks!) And this lake of beauracratic bullshit Its a miracle i dont drown Yo i (dont only) run New York, i run the marathon Plus i organise it so i double run the marathon But no one seems to give a fuck that I'm a (paragon) They said they photoshopped me so its looking like i wear a thong And laugh at it in my own office when im gone I went to the Knicks game and they boot me on the JumboTron Excuse me, we're trying to help you They wont be satisfied till i'm locked up in... I guess they dont tell you, this job sucks dick I run New York and it feels like shit! The chief of police is a major bully Laughs at my ideas (He's a jerk!) He made fun of my tie last week and i had to fight back tears Now on the surface, it probably seems like i should quit Cos i spent everyday getting punched in the dick But at night i travelled down into the subway Where a chain mail locked and loaded for gun play And battled the gigantic fire-breathing new rat If I fuckin quit, who the fuck would do that? I'll give you a hint, the answer is no one That's why im in the sewer dressed up like a showgun Cos on the equinox i help get... Releasing hounds...in the blood of kings And no one even knows they just think im a dork But i still kill those fucking dogs cos i run New York! I run New York, its a shitty gig No overtime in my pay (bullshit) I asked the city for a fucking bonus And they said no fucking way So rotten is this big apple, it's crawling with worms inside But i run this motherfucking shithole city And it makes me wanna die! I RUN NEW YORK! Thank you.
The Forgotten Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 Here's my first attempt on the lyrics. I know there's probably mistakes and there's loads of blanks, if you guys could help me figure them out So if you want this Big Apple contract and take a bow "So if you want this Big Apple come try to take a bite" I believe is what he sings but overall it's pretty good, thanks
Mar Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 The police chief/commissioner line is very true and I cackled at the transit strike line, I'll admit
Asa. Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 Has Green Day's management or anyone with the band even publicly talked about this yet? :/
James! Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 Am I the only one who think he sounds kinda like Alice cooper on this song O_o
Firecracker Lell Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 Listening because Billie's fucking voice... Not bad
