yeah These streets will make you feel brand new,

Yeah I'm out that Brooklyn. the lights will inspire you,
Now I'm down in Tribeca. Let's hear it for New York, New York, New York
Right next to DeNiro [Jay-Z]
But I'll be hood forever I made you hot n-gga,
I'm the new Sinatra Catch me at the X with OG at a Yankee game,
And since I made it here sh-t I made the Yankee hat more famous than a Yankee can,
I can make it anywhere you should know I bleed Blue, but I ain't a crip tho,
(Yeah they love me everywhere) but I got a gang of n-ggas walking with my clique though,
I used to cop in Harlem welcome to the melting pot,
All of my Dominicanos (Hey yo) corners where we selling rocks,
Right there off of Broadway Afrika bambaataa sh-t,
Brought me back to that McDonalds home of the hip hop,
Took it to my stash spot yellow cab, gypsy cab, dollar cab, holla back,
560 State Street for foreigners it ain't fitted act like they forgot how to act,
Catch me in the kitchen like Simmons whipping Pastry 8 million stories out there and they're naked,
Cruising down 8th street city it's a pity half of y’all won’t make it,
Off-white Lexus me I gotta plug a special and I got it made,
Driving so slow If Jeezy's payin LeBron, I’m paying Dwayne Wade,
(but BK, it's from Texas!!) 3 dice cee-lo
Me I'm out that BedStuy 3 card marley,
Home of that boy Biggie Labor Day parade, rest in peace Bob Marley,
now I live on Billboard Statue of Liberty, long live the World Trade,
and I brought my boys with me long live the king yo,
Say what up to Ta-ta I’m from the Empire State thats…
Still sipping Mai Tais [Alicia Keys]
Sitting courtside In New York!!!!
Knicks and Nets give me high-5 Concrete jungle where dreams are made of,
N**ga, I be Spiked out There's nothing you can’t do,
I could trip a referee Now you're in New York!!!
...tell by my attitude that I'm MOST DEFINITELY FROM... These streets will make you feel brand new,
[Alicia Keys] the lights will inspire you,
New York!!!! Let's hear it for New York, New York, New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of,
There's nothing you can’t do, Welcome to the bright light.
Now you're in New York!!!

[Jay-Z] Concrete jungle where dreams are made of,

Lights is blinding, There's nothing you can’t do,
girls need blinders Now you're in New York!!!
so they can step out of bounds quick, These streets will make you feel brand new,
the side lines is blind with casualties, the lights will inspire you,
who sip the lite casually, then gradually become worse, Let's hear it for New York, New York, New York
don’t bite the apple Eve, [Alicia Keys]
caught up in the in crowd, One hand in the air for the big city,
now you're in-style, Street lights, big dreams all looking pretty,
and in the winter gets cold en vogue with your skin out, no place in the World that can compare,
the city of sin is a pity on a whim. Put your lighters in the air, everybody say yeaaahh
good girls gone bad, the city's filled with them, come on, come,
Mommy took a bus trip and now she got her bust out, yeah,
everybody ride her, just like a bus route, [Alicia Keys]
Hail Mary to the city your a Virgin, New York!!!!
and Jesus can’t save you life starts when the church ends, Concrete jungle where dreams are made of,
came here for school, graduated to the high life, There's nothing you can’t do,
ball players, rap stars, addicted to the limelight, Now you're in New York!!!
MDMA got you feeling like a champion, These streets will make you feel brand new,
the city never sleeps better slip you a Ambien the lights will inspire you,
[Alicia Keys]New York!!!! Let's hear it for New York, New York, New York
