Empire State of Mind (feat. Alicia Keys) testo

In New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of

There's nothing 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 than 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 selling rock

Afrika Bambaataa shit

Home of the hip-hop

Yellow cab, gypsy cab, dollar cab, holla 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 payin' LeBron, I'm payin' Dwayne Wade

Three dice Cee-lo

Three-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 that's

In New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of

There's nothing 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

Or they can step out of bounds quick

The sidelines is lined with casualties

Who sipping life casually, then gradually become worse

Don't bite the apple Eve

Caught up in the in crowd

Now you're 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 city's filled with them

Mommy 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 ends

Came here for school, graduated to the high life

Ballplayers, rap stars, addicted to the limelight

MDMA got you feeling like a champion

The city never sleeps better slip you a Ambien

In New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of

There's nothing 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
