歌曲:Empire State Of Mind

(Explicit Album Version)
yeah
Yeah I'm out that Brooklyn
Now I'm down in Tribeca
Right next to DeNiro
But I'll be hood forever
I'm the new Sinatra
And since I made it here
I can make it anywhere
Yeah
they love me everywhere
I used to cop in Harlem
All of my Dominicanos
Right there off of Broadway
(Hey yo)
Brought me
back to that McDonalds
Took it to my stash spot
560 State Street
Catch me in the kitchen
like Simmons
whipping Pastry
Cruising down 8th street
Off-white Lexus
Driving so slow
but BK, it's from Texas
Home of that boy Biggie
Me I'm out that BedStuy
now I live on Billboard
and I
brought my boys with me
Say what up to Ta-ta
Still sipping Mai Tais
Sitting courtside
Knicks and Nets
give me high-5
N**ga, I be Spiked out
I could trip a referee
tell by my attitude
that I'm MOST
DEFINITELY FROM...
New York
Concrete jungle
where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will
make you feel brand new
the lights will inspire you
Let's hear it for New York
New York, New York
I made you hot n-gga,
Catch me at the X
with OG at a Yankee game
sh-t I made the Yankee hat
than a Yankee can
more famous
you should know
I bleed Blue
but I ain't a crip tho,
but I got a gang of n-ggas
walking with my clique though
welcome to the melting pot
corners where we selling rocks
Afrika bambaataa shit
home of the hip hop,
yellow cab, gypsy cab
dollar cab, holla back
for foreigners it
ain't fitted
act like
they forgot how to act
8 million stories out there
and they're naked
city it's a pity
half of y’all won't make it
me I gotta plug a special
and I got it made,
If Jeezy's payin LeBron
I’m paying Dwayne Wade
3 dice cee-lo
3 card marley
Labor Day parade
rest in peace Bob Marley
Statue of Liberty
long live the World Trade
long live the king yo
I’m from
the Empire State thats
In New York
Concrete jungle
where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will
make you feel brand new,
the lights will inspire you
Let's hear it for New York
New York, New York
Lights is blinding,
girls need blinders
so they can
step out of bounds quick
the side lines
is blind with casualties
who sip the lite casually
then gradually become worse
don’t bite the apple Eve
caught up in the in crowd
now you're in-style,
and in the winter gets cold
en vogue with your skin out,
the city of sin
is a pity on a whim.
good girls gone bad
the city's filled with them
Mommy took a bus trip
and now she got her bust out
everybody ride her
just like a bus route
Hail Mary to the city
your a Virgin
and Jesus can't save you
life starts
when the church ends
came here for school
graduated to the high life
ball players, rap stars
addicted to the limelight
MDMA got you
feeling like a champion
the city never sleeps
better slip you a Ambien
In New York
Concrete jungle
where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will
make you feel brand new
the lights will inspire you
Let's hear it for New York
New York, New York
One hand in the air
for the big city
Street lights
big dreams all looking pretty
no place in the World
that can compare
Put your lighters in the air
everybody say yeaaahh
come on, come on
In New York
Concrete jungle
where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will
make you feel brand new
the lights will inspire you
Let's hear it for New York
New York, New York
