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 on 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

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

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 be spiked out, she could trip a referee

Come on, come on (Aye, aye, aye)

Tell by her attitude that she most definitely from

Come on (From, from, she from)

Statue of Liberty, home of the World Trade

Come on (Aye, aye, aye)

Long live the queen, yo, she's from the Empire State, that's (Come on, come on)

That's, that's (Come on)

New York, New York, New York
