lyrics

(Chorus)
Cuz Queens is the home for rap
Cuz Queens is the home for rap
Queens is the borough
Queens keep it thorough
Let me tell you ‘bout Queens
I’m talking ‘bout Queens
It happens in Queens
Cuz this is Queens
Killa Queens, Creative Queens

(Verse 1)
Coming straight out of Queens
It’s me, the fat spitting machine
The most diverse county on the map
That gave birth to many legends of rap
LL Cool J and A Tribe Called Quest
Hip Hop at it’s finest
Real is how you define this
Queens, so call us your highness
Out in Elmhurst is where Rakim got on his grind
Where he began to spit his legendary rhymes
How about Hollis’s own Run DMC
Without them Hip Hop, there wouldn’t be
Corona, home to the Beatnuts, Kool G Rap,
And Styles P, legends over the BOOM BAP
Here in Corona, future of true Hip Hop is being raised
Spitting the rhymes that elevate from the page
It gets real hot when we do our thing
So let me get an ice at the Lemon Ice King

(Verse 3)
Giving you a tour along the 7 train
Showing you all that Queens contains
Starting from Corona is where the crown is gained
I’m the new King of Queens, taking over for Doug Heff
Laying down the laws as if I’m the ref
We can go to Flushing Meadows home of the World’s Fair
The globe, my world is located there
Provided the key that kept Tony Starks alive
Everyday heroes and civilians making the strive
The one county got the whole U.S Open
Serving up those who are chosen
Even without JFK and LaGuardia we fly
Access to the world without the sky
In Flushing you can be walking around
The new China Town
Everybody hitting up them clubs in Astoria
Next day, like Biggie, you got a story
But there be house parties everywhere
Popping bottles, lifting L’s in the air
Cuz you never know when you’re gonna go
Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, Fresh Meadows,
Forest Hills, Jamaica, Hollis, the Park of Rego
LIC, Lefrak, Richmond Hill, Woodside yo
Maspeth, Kew Gardens, Ridgewood is the Queens we know
And this is home

about

Ton Queens, New York

MC from Queens who grew up loving Hip Hop. This love drew him to want to make his own album.

90's baby nostalgia infused lyricism.

My dream as an artist is to be a combination of Nas, The Wyld Stallyns, Dewey Cox, and Michael Jackson, in my own Ton way.
