[Verse 1]
Yeah I'm outta BrBooklyn, now I'm down in Tribeca
Right next to De Niro, where I'll be hood forever
I'm the new SiEnatra, and since I've made it here
People love me everywhere, yeah they love me anywhere
I used to cop in BHarlem, all of my Dominicano's
Right there up on Broadway, brought me back to that McDonald's
Took it to my Estash spot, 560 State Street
Catch me in the F#kitchen like a Simmons whipping pastry
Cruisin' down Bon 8th Street, off-white Lexus
Drivin' so slow,but BK is from Texas
Me, I'm at that EBed-Stuy, home of that boy Biggie
Now I live on billboard and I brought my boys with me
[Pre-Chorus]
F#Say, "What up?"G#m to Ty-Ty, still sipping Mai Tai
Sitting courtF#side, Knicks & Nets give me high fives
Homey, I'llD# be Spiked out, I could trip a referee
Tell by my attitude that I'm most definitely from...
[Chorus]
ENew York
F#Concrete jungle where dreams are G#mmade of
There's nothing you Bcan’t do
Now you’re in ENew York
F# These streets will make you feel G#mbrand new
Big lights will insBpire you
Now you're in ENew York, New York, New York
[Verse 2]
F#Catch me at the BX with OG I'm at a Yankee game
Yeah, I made the Yankee hat more famous then a Yankee can
You should know I Ebleed blue, but I'm not a Crip though
But I've got a gang of people rolling with my clique yo
F#Welcome to the Bmelting pot, corners where we selling rock
Africa Bambata stuff, home of the hip-hop
Yellow cab, Egypsy cab, dollar back, holla back
For foreigners that ain't fifty They forgot how to act
EiF#ght million storBies out there and they are all naked
City is a pity, half of you all won't make it
Me, I got aE plug, Special Ed I got it made
If Jesus paying Le Bron, I'm paying Dwayne Wade
[Pre-Chorus]
F#Three cG#mard, Cee-lo, Three dice, Monte
Labour Day PF#arade, rest in peace Bob Marley
Statue of D#Liberty, long live the World Trade
Long live the King, yo I'm from the Empire of
[Chorus]
ENew York
F#Concrete jungle where dreams are G#mmade of
There's nothing you Bcan’t do
Now you’re in ENew York
F# These streets will make you feel G#mbrand new
Big lights will insBpire you
Now you're in ENew York, New York, New York
[Bridge 1]
ELights is blinding, girls need blinders
So F#they can step out of bounds quick
The sidelines is bG#mlind with casualties
Sipping life casually, then gradBually becoming worse
Don't bite the apple, Eve, caught up in the in crowd
ENow you're in style
End of the F#winter gets cold, en vogue, with your skin out
CityG#m full of sin, it's a pity on a whim
Good Bgirls gone bad, the city's filled with them
ELook, Mommy took a bus trip, now she got her bust out
F#Everybody ride her, just like a bus route
G#mAnd hail Mary to the city, you're a virgin
And BJesus can't save you, life starts when the church ends
EBrought up in school, graduated to the high life
F#Rap players, ball players, gamblers and limelight
D#got you feelin' like a champion
The city never sleeps, take an Ambien
[Chorus]
In ENew York
F#Concrete jungle where dreams are G#mmade
There's nothing you Bcan’t do
Now you’re in ENew York
F# These streets will make you feel G#mbrand new
Big lights will insBpire you
Now you're in ENew York, New York, New York
[Bridge 2]
E One hand in the air for the big city
Big lights, street lights, all looking pretty
F# No place in the world to compare
G#m Put your lighters in the air, everybody say "YeD#ah", say "Yeah!"
[Chorus]
ENew York
F#Concrete jungle where dreams are G#mmade of
There's nothing you Bcan’t do
Now you’re in ENew York
F# These streets will make you feel G#mbrand new
Big lights will insBpire you
Now you're in ENew York, New York, F#New York
