Empire State Of Mind

Ooh, New York
They play these notes and they play these notes
And I play my notes
Ooh, New York
And from these basics our melody can evolve

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
Seeing my face in lights
Or my name in marquees found down on Broadway

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
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
Hail a gypsy cab
Take it down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge
Someone sleeps tonight
With a hunger far more than an empty fridge

I'ma make it by any means
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
Big lights will inspire you
Talking 'bout 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
Streetlights, 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
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

She get Spike'd out, she could trip a referee (come on)
Hey, hey, hey (come on, come on)
Tell by her attitude that she most definitely from (come on, come on)
From (from, where she from?)
Statue of Liberty, home of the World Trade (come on, come on)
Hey, hey, hey
Long live the queen, yo (come on)
She's from the Empire State that's (come on)
That's, that's (that's, come on)
In New York, New York, New York
