JAY-Z
Empire State of Mind (Part I & II)
[Intro]
Ooooh, New York
Ooooh, New York
[Verse 1]
I Grew up in a town that is famous as a place of movie scenes
The Noise is always loud, there are sirens all around and the streets are mean
If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere, that's what they say
[Chorus]
Even if it ain't all it seems, I got a pocketful of dreams
Baby, I'm from New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothin' I can't do
Now I'm in New York
New York, New York
[Verse 2]
Well I'ma be in Brooklyn
Now I'm back in Tribеca
Right next to DeNiro
But I'll be hood forеver
I'm the new Sinatra
And since I made it here
I can make it anywhere
Yeah, they love me everywhere
[Chorus]
Even if it ain't all it seems, I got a pocketful of dreams
Baby, I'm from New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothin' you can't do
Now you're in New York
New York, New York
[Bridge]
One hand in the air for the big city
Put your lighters in the air, everybody say
"Yeah, yeah-yeah", Oh, "Yeah, yeah-yeah"
[Chorus]
I'm from from New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Hear it for New York, New York, New York
