歌詞: Alicia Keys. Empire State Of Mind (Part Ii).

Oooh oooh, New York (2x)

Grew up in a town,
That is famous as a place
of movie scenes
Noise is always loud
There are sirenes all around
And the streets are mean
If I could make it here
I could make it anywhere
That's what they say
Seeing my face in lights
Or my name in marquees
found down Broadway

Even if it ain't all it seems
I got a pocketful of dreams
Baby, I'm from

Chorus
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
Hear it for New York,
New York, New York

On the avenue,
there ain't never a curfew
Ladies work so hard
Such a melting pot
on the corner selling rock
Preachers pray to God
And the gypsy cab
Takes me down from
Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge
Someone sleeps tonight with a hunger
For more than from an empty fridge

I'm going to make it by any means
I got a pocketful of dreams
Baby, I'm from

Chorus
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
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 compared
Put your lighters in the air
Everybody say yeah, yeah yeaah

Chorus
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
Hear it for New York,
New York, New York
