Ooh, New York
Ooh, New York
You look amazing
ย
Grew up in a town that is famous as a place of movie scenes
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
ย
Seein' my face in lights or my name on marquees found down on Broadway
ย
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 nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
The lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
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
ย
Let's go
ย
Yeah, yeah, I'm out that Brooklyn, now I'm down in Tribeca
Right next to De Niro, 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, hola, my Dominicanos
Right there up on Broadway, brought me back to that McDonald's
Took it to my stash spot, 560 State Street
Catch me in the kitchen, like a Simmons whippin' pastry
Cruisin' down 8th Street, 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 up to Ty Ty, still sippin' Mai Tais
Sittin' courtside, Knicks and Nets give me high-fives
Nigga, I be spiked out, I could trip a referee
Tell by my attitude that I'm most definitely from
In New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
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 looking pretty
No place in the world that can compare
Put your lighters in the air, everybody say
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
In New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
You're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Talkin' 'bout New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
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
ย
Concrete jungle where dreams are
There's nothing you can't do
You're in New York
These streets will make you feel
Big lights will inspire you
Talkin' 'bout my city, New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are
There's nothing you can't do
You're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York, New York, New York
ย
Yes, Buenos Aires
