Harlem's Way (feat. Joyce Elaine Yuille)

There's a special place where there's always a party

Where everybody wants to be a part of it

And people come from the world to take the uptown train

If you listen

To the voices talkin' loud about that place

Where the hip people meet

And the kings and queens of the Harlem elite

And the man in the blue is always walking the beat

Cash&Carry on every street corner

And a hustle's in the game

The best music is right down the street

At that spot owned by what's-his-name

What's his name?

Mr. Smalls, that's his name

Ooh, it's the Harlem way, yeah

You won't regret it, oh, no

Take that ride, and then you're hittin' 125

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Make a left on eighth avenue

Where T.L. and The Cats are playing a sweet jazzy blues

If you're downtown, you don't have to go too far

To take a stroll down Malcolm X Boulevard

Take the bus, a train, cruise up Manhattan

Just to dig the cool

Cash&Carry on every street corner

And a hustle's in the game

The best music is right down the street

At that spot owned by what's-his-name

What's his name?

Mr. Smalls, that's his name

Oh, it's the Harlem way, yeah

You won't regret it, oh, no

You will always have a home

A home away from home

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

The next time you come to town

Get with the Harlem way, yeah, yeah
