Empire State of Mind

Empire State of Mind - The Ervin Streets

Pa pa pa pa pa pa pam pum pum pa pa pa pa

Yeah

I'm out that Brooklyn

Now I'm down in Tribeca

Right next to deniro

But I'll be hood forever

I'm 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

Hola my dominicanos

Right there up on broadway

Brought me back to that mcdonalds

Took it to my stash spot

560 state street

Catch me in the kitchen like a simmons whippin' pastry

Cruising down 8th street

Off white lexus

Driving so slow but bk is from Texas

Me I'm out that bedstuy

Home of that boy biggie

Now I live on billboard

And I brought my boys with me

Say what up to ty ty

Still sipping mai tais

Sitting courtside knicks

And nets give me high fives

Nigga

I' be spiked out

I can trip a refere

Tell by my attitude

That I'm most definitely from

New York concrete jungle

Where dreams are made of

There's nothing you can't do

Yeaah

Now you're in New York

These streets will make you feel brand new

Big lights will inspire you

Let's hear it for New York

New York New York

Catch me at the x with og at a yankee game

Sh*t I made the yankee hat more famous than a yankee can

You should know I bleed blue

But I ain't a crip though

But I got a gang of brothers walking with my clique though

Welcome to the melting pot

Corners where we sellin' rocks

Afrika bambaataa

Sh*t home of the hiphop

Yellow cab gypsy cab dollar cab holla back

For foreigners it ain't fair

They act like they forgot how to add

Eight million stories

Out there in the naked city

It's a pity half of y'all won't make it

Me I gotta plug special ed I got it made

If jeezy's paying Lebron I'm paying Dwyane Wade

Three dice Ceelo three card mole

Labor day parade rest in peace Bob Marley

Statue of liberty long live the world trade

Long live the kingdom yo I'm from the empire state

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

Let's hear it for New York

New York New York

Lights is blindin' girls need blinders

So they can step out of bounds quick the side lines is

Lined with casualties who sip the life casually

Then gradually become worse don't bite the apple eve

Caught up in the in crowd now you're 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 city's filled with 'em

Mami took a bus trip and now she got her bust out

Everybody ride her just like a bus route

Hail Mary to the city you're a virgin

And Jesus can't 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

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

Let's 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

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

Let's hear it for New York

New York New York
