Empire State Of Mind - JAY Z (2009/10/20)

[단란]

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 Dominicano's
right there up on Broadway
pull me back to that McDonald's
Took it to my stashbox 560 State St
catch me in the kitchen like a
Simmons with them Pastry's
Cruisin' down 8th St off white Lexus
drivin' 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's up to Ty-Ty
still sippin' mai tai's
sittin' courtside Knicks & Nets
give me high five
Nigga I be Spike'd 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 nothin' you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel
brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Let's hear it for New York
New York New York
Catch me at the X with OG
at a Yankee game
Shit I made the Yankee hat more
famous then a Yankee can
You should know I bleed blue
but I ain't a Crip though
but I got a gang of niggas
walkin' with my clique though
Welcome to the melting pot
corners where we sellin' rock
Afrika Bambataa shit
home of the hip-hop
Yellow cab gypsy cab
dollar cab holla back
for foreigners it ain't for
they act like they forgot how to act
8 million stories
out there in it naked
City it's a pity half of
y'all won't make it
Me I got a plug Special
Ed I Got It Made
If Jeezy's payin' LeBron
I'm payin' Dwyane Wade
Three dice cee-lo three card molly
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
New York concrete jungle
where dreams are made of
There's nothin' you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel
brand new
Big 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 sidelines is
lined with casualties
who sip to life casually
then gradually become worse
don't bite the apple leaf
Caught up in the in-crowd
now you're in style
End of the winter gets cold
en vogue with your skin out
City of sin it's a pity on the wind
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 feelin' like a champion
The city never sleeps
better slip you an Ambien
New York concrete jungle
where dreams are made of
There's nothin' you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel
brand new
Big 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
lookin' pretty
No place in the world that
could compare
Put your lighters in the air
Everybody say yeah yeah yeah yeah
New York concrete jungle
where dreams are made of
There's nothin' you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel
brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Let's hear it for New York
New York New York
