Every time I take a look around
I'm still amazed
The sound of sirens all around
Just hit my face
Down in the village I strut and gaze
At the skyline I stare and praise
I've got to get up I've got to pay up
I took the red pill and I ain't gonna stop
Straight up across the sky
It's the empire state of sound
I hear the music
Rise up and come alive
It's the empire state of sound
Everyday I listen to the beat of the city streets
Hot and heavy bullseye on 1st street
In the summer heat
No other place puts pep in your step
Strutting down to Houston on Avenue A
I've got to get up I've got to pay up
Double down is my holy ground
Straight up across the sky
It's the empire state of sound
I hear the music
Rise up and come alive
It's the empire state of sound
I wanna hear it loud, loud, loud
Break the barrier of the sound
Loud, loud, loud, give me a sonic high wild ride
Hey heart breaker I'm in trouble again
Riding hand in hand on the subway train
Loud, loud, loud, the city's got me inside and out
