Liner Notes

This week's made-up word challenge got me thinking about making up a new place. Something like Atlantis perhaps? What if there was a secret 6th borough in NYC? What if it was just the best? You have the Bronx, you have Queens, now you've got The Jax.

Lyrics

Let me tell ya about a special place passed 220 on the train

Secret 6th burrow you’ve heard about rent is controlled and Mumdani hangs out

Break

Egg and cheese still 3 dollars every bodega is open 24hrs

Got more gems that DB Cooper every building has a good super

Ya know I’m Spitting true facts I’m talkin bout the Jax New York's secret borough number 6 That’s where I get my kicks

Public parks are insane Every brunch has complimentary champagne

Well marked bike lanes will be guarding ya And its 20 minutes to La Guardia

Minimum wage kept up with inflation Cheapest healthcare in the nation

Sanctuary city, no duh Ice gets stomped, ya we’re watching ya

Ya know I’m Spitting true facts I’m talkin bout the Jax New York's secret borough number 6 That’s where I get my kicks

This is amazing! I love the line "Ya know I’m Spitting true facts / I’m talkin bout the Jax", it just fits so perfectly in the vibe and the concept. I wish such a place really existed!

I love how it sounds like 80s hip hop nut is talking about modern times

Thanks @mjv! I was really channeling my 2nd hand knowledge of NYC and love of Beastie Boys and RunDMC
