היפ הופ \ ראפ |
Yeah, I'm out that Brooklyn |
Now I'm down in Tribeca |
Right next to De Niro |
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 – hola |
My Dominicanos (Dinero!) |
Right there up on Broadway |
Brought me back to that McDonald's |
Took it to my stash spot |
Five hundred and sixty State Street |
Catch me in the kitchen |
Like a Simmons whipping pastry |
Cruising down Eighth Street |
Off-white Lexus |
Driving so slow, |
But BK is from Texas |
Me? I'm out that Bed-Stuy |
Home of that boy Biggie |
Now I live on Billboard and |
I brought my boys with me |
Say what up to Ty Ty |
Still sipping Mai Tais |
Sitting courtside |
Knicks and Nets give me high fives |
Nigga, I be spiked out |
I could trip a referee |
Tell by my attitude that |
I'm most definitely from |
In New York (Ay, aha) (Uh, yeah) |
Concrete jungle (Yeah) where |
Dreams are made of |
There's nothing you can't |
Do (Yeah) (OK) |
Now you're in New York (Aha |
Aha, aha) (Uh, yeah) |
These streets will make you |
Feel brand-new (New) |
Big lights will inspire you |
(Come on) (OK) |
Let's hear it for New York |
(You welcome OG) (Uh) |
New York (Yeah) |
New York (Uh) |
(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 though |
But I got a gang of niggas |
Walking with my clique though |
Welcome to the melting pot |
Corners where we're selling rock |
Africa Bambaataa shit |
Home of the hip-hop |
Yellow cab, gypsy cab |
Dollar cab, holler back |
For foreigners, it ain't fair |
They act like they forgot |
How to add |
Eight million stories out |
There in the naked |
City, it's a pity half of |
Y'all won't make it |
Me? I gotta plug Special Ed |
"I Got It Made" |
If Jeezy's paying LeBron |
I'm paying Dwyane Wade |
Three dice cee-lo, |
Three-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 |
That's |
In New York (Ay) (Uh, yeah) |
Concrete jungle where dreams |
Are made of |
There's nothing you can't |
Do (That boy good) (OK) |
Now you're in New York |
(Welcome to the bright lights baby) |
(Uh, yeah) |
These streets will make you |
Feel brand-new |
Big lights will inspire you (OK) |
Let's hear it for New York (Uh) |
New York (Yeah), New York (Uh) |
Lights is blinding |
Girls need blinders |
So they can step out |
Of bounds quick |
The side lines is |
Lined with casualties who |
Sip the life casually |
Then gradually become worse – |
Don't bite the apple |
Eve! |
Caught up in the in-crowd |
Now you're in-style |
Into the winter gets cold |
En vogue with your skin out |
City of sin is a pity on a whim |
Good girls gone bad |
The city's filled with them |
Mami, took a bus trip |
Now she got her bust out |
Everybody ride her |
Just like a bus route |
"Hail Mary" to the city |
You're a virgin |
And Jesus can't save you |
Life starts when the church end |
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're a Ambien |
In New York (Ay, ow) (Uh, yeah) |
Concrete jungle where dreams |
Are made of |
There's nothing you can't do (OK) |
Now you're in New York (Uh, yeah) |
These streets will make you |
Feel brand-new |
Big lights will inspire you (OK) |
Let's hear it for New York (Uh) |
New York (Yeah), New York (Uh) |
One hand in the air for the |
Big city (Oh) |
Street lights, big dreams |
All looking pretty (Oh) |
No place in the world that |
Could compare (Nah) |
Put your lighters in the air |
Everybody say |
"Yeah, yeah" (Come on, come on) |
"Yeah, yeah" (Come on) |
In New York (Uh, yeah) |
Concrete jungle where dreams |
Are made of |
There's nothing you can't do (OK) |
Now you're in New York (Uh, yeah) |
These streets will make you |
Feel brand-new |
Big lights will inspire you (OK) |
Let's hear it for New York (Uh) |
New York (Yeah), New York (Uh) |
