Yeah,
Yeah, Imma up at Brooklyn,
Now Im down in Tribeca,
Right
next to DeNiro,
But ill be hood forever,
Im 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,
Five Sixty Stage 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 Im up at
Bedsty,
Home of that boy Biggie,
Now I live on billboard,
And I
brought my boys with me,
Say wat up to Ty Ty, still sipping
Malta
Sitting courtside Knicks and Nets give me high fives,
N-gga
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 cant do,
Now youre in New
York,
These streets will make you feel brand new,
The lights will
inspire you,
Lets here it for New York, New York, New
York

[Jay-Z]
I made you hot n-gga,
Catch me at the X with OG at
a Yankee game,
Sh-t I made the yankee hat more famous than a yankee
can,
You should know I bleed Blue, but I aint a crip tho,
But I
got a gang of n-ggas walking with my click though,
Welcome to the
melting pot,
Corners where we selling rocks,
Afrika bambaataa
sh-t,
Home of the hip hop,
Yellow cap, gypsy cap, dollar cab,
holla back,
For foreigners it aint fitted they forgot how to
act,
8 million stories out there and their naked,
Cities is a pity
half of yall wont make it,
Me I gotta plug a special and I got it
made,
If Jesus payin LeBron, Im paying Dwayne Wade,
3 dice
cee-lo
3 card marley,
Labor day parade, rest in peace Bob
Marley,
Statue of Liberty, long live the World trade,
Long live
the king yo,
Im from the empire state thats

In New

Now youre in New York,
These streets will make you feel

Lets here it for New York,
New York, New York
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,
Dont 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,
Mommy 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 cant 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

Concrete jungle where dreams are made

Now youre in New York,

streets will make you feel brand new,
The lights will inspire
you,
Lets here it for New York, New York, New York

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,
Yeah,

In New
York,
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of,
Theres nothing you
cant do,
Now youre in New York,
These streets will make you feel

The lights will inspire you,
Lets here it for New York,
New York, New York
