Empire State Of Mind by Jay Z feat Alicia Keys Yeah Yeah, Imma up at Brooklyn Now Im 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 up on broadway Brought me back to that McDonalds Took it to my stash spot 5-60 State street Catch me in the kitchen like a Simmons whipping Pastry Cruising down 8th street Off white lexus Driving so slow but BK is from Texas Me I’m up at Bed Stuy Home of that boy Biggie Now i livе on billboard And i brought my boys with me Say wat up to Ty Ty, still sipping Mai-tai Sitting courtside Knicks and Nets givе me high fives Nigga i be Spiked out, i can trip a referee Tell by my attitude that I most definitely from… In New York Concrete jungle where dreams are made of Theres nothing you can’t do Now you’re in New York These streets will make you feel brand new The lights will inspire you Lets hear it for New York, New York, New York I made you hot nigga Catch me at the X with OG at a Yankee game Shit i made the yankee hat more famous than a yankee can You should know I bleed Blue, but I ain't a crip tho But i got a gang of niggas walking with my clique though Welcome to the melting pot Corners where we selling rocks Afrika bambaataa shit Home of the hip hop Yellow cap, gypsy cap, dollar cab, holla back For foreigners it ain't fitted they forgot how to act 8 million stories out there and their naked Cities is a pity half of y’all won’t make it Me i gotta plug Special Ed and i got it made If Jeezy’s payin LeBron, I’m paying Dwayne Wade 3 dice cee-lo 3 card Monte 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… Chorus Welcome to the bright light.. Lights is blinding Girls need blinders So they can step out of bounds quick The side lines is blind with casualties Who sipping life casually, then gradually become worse Don’t bite the apple Eve Caught up in the in crowd Now your 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 cities filled with them Mami 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 Chorus 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 YeahChorus
