For the non New Yorkers here is the translation for the many languages spoken in New York: The word combination doesn't mean something directly its more about recognizing the different cultures in a song. Fuhgeddaboudit! - Don't worry about it Oy vey! - Woe is me Wepa! - Woohoo! Aiyah! - Oh no Habibi - My Friend --------------------------- How you doing ma? Nice dress, you look beautiful. Let me talk to you! [Chorus] Fuhgeddaboudit! Oy vey! Wepa! Aiyah! Habibi! This how we do it in the city! Fuhgeddaboudit! Oy vey! Wepa! Aiyah! Habibi! From the rooftop the skyline comes alive Fuhgeddaboudit! Oy vey! Wepa! Aiyah! Habibi! Turn that shit up! (skrrt skrrt) Fuhgeddaboudit! Oy vey! Wepa! Aiyah! Habibi! Whole world on one block that's the New York Vibe [Verse 1] Pulling up on the block, straight culture clash, Guido's eyes lock tight on the sway of that ass, Jewish moms all complain that prices risin' too fast Puerto Ricans go wild if that bachata beat blasts Chinese auntie says (HA!) from the laundromat spot Arabs loading them plates high, halal and piping hot Same corner, same time, same chaotic energy, Different tongues speakin’ fluent New York city. [Pre-Chorus] Sirens in the background, subway doors chime Every language in the world but we all on the same time [Chorus] Fuhgeddaboudit! Oy vey! Wepa! Aiyah! Habibi! This how we do it in the city! Fuhgeddaboudit! Oy vey! Wepa! Aiyah! Habibi! From the rooftop the skyline comes alive Fuhgeddaboudit! Oy vey! Wepa! Aiyah! Habibi! Turn that shit up! (skrrt skrrt) Fuhgeddaboudit! Oy vey! Wepa! Aiyah! Habibi! Whole world on one block thats the new york Vibe [Verse 2] Yellow cabs swerving, flags from every nation Bodega cats chilling like gods of their location One second it’s Italian ice, next second it’s pizza Then falafel, bagel, tea with bubbled tapioca... We argue, we laugh, we fight, then we link up Turn the speaker up loud when the beat cut ‘Cause no matter the flag or the last name When the city 's attacked, we all feel the same [Bridge] Black dad on the stoop yellin’ “Boy you better stop!” Dominicans blastin’ dembow, whole block hot Pasteles for sale signs in the window gleamin’ Old heads playin’ dominoes, cussin’ and drinkin’ Corner store speaker knockin’ that old school boom Somebody cookin’ rice and peas and oxtail stew From the projects to the stoop, it’s the same routine Every flag flappin’ that’s the New York dream [Pre-Chorus] Sirens still wailin’, but the block don’t sleep Whole city movin'’ to the same beat. [Final Chorus] Fuhgeddaboudit! Oy vey! Wepa! Aiyah! Habibi! This how we do it in the city! Fuhgeddaboudit! Oy vey! Wepa! Aiyah! Habibi! From the rooftop the skyline comes alive Fuhgeddaboudit! Oy vey! Wepa! Aiyah! Habibi! Turn that shit up! (skrrt skrrt) Fuhgeddaboudit! Oy vey! Wepa! Aiyah! Habibi! Whole world on one block thats the New York Vibe [Outro] Fuhgeddaboudit! Oy vey! Wepa! Aiyah! Habibi…
