~Lyrics~
Yeah,
Yeah, Im out that Brooklyn,
now Im down in Tribeca,
right next to DeNiro,
But ill be hood forever,
Im 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,
all of my Dominicanos (hey yo)
right there up on broadway,
brought me back to that McDonalds,
took it to my stash spot,
Five sixty state street,
catch me in the kitchen like the simmons whipping pastry,
cruising down 8th street,
off white lexus,
driving so slow but BK is from Texas,
me Im up at Bedstuy,
home of that boy Biggie,
but now i live on billboard,
and i brought my boys with me,
say wat up to Ty-Ty, still sipping Mai Tais,
sitting courtside Knicks and Nets give me high fives,
N-gga i be spiked out, i can trip a referee,

but i got a gang of n-ggas walking with my click though,
welcome to the melting pot,
corners where we selling rocks,
africa bambaataa sh-t,
home of the hip hop,

Concrete jungle where dreams are made of,
Theres nothing you cant do,
Now youre in New York,
these streets will make you feel brand new,

Welcome to the bright light..

[Jay-Z]
Lights is blinding,
girls need blinders
so they can step out of bounds quick,
the sidelines is blind with casualties,
who sip the lite casually, then gradually become worst,
dont bite the apple Eve,
caught up in the in crowd,
now your in-style,
and in the winter gets cold en vogue with your skin out,
the city of sin is a pity on a whim,
good girls gone bad, the cities filled with them,
Mommy took a bus trip and now she got her bust out,
everybody ride her, just like a bus route,
Hail Mary to the city your a Virgin,
and Jesus cant save you life starts when the church ends,
came here for school, graduated to the high life,
ball players, rap stars, addicted to the limelight,
MDMA got you feeling like a champion,
the city never sleeps better slip you a Ambien

[Chorus]

In New York,
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of,
Theres nothing you cant do,
Now youre in New York,
these streets will make you feel brand new,
the lights will inspire you,
lets here it for New York, New York, New York


[Alicia Keys]
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 yeaaahh
come on, come,
yeah,

[Chorus]

In New York,
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of,
Theres nothing you cant do,
Now youre in New York,
these streets will make you feel brand new,
the lights will inspire you,
lets here it for New York, New York, New York
