Empire State of Mind [Part II] Broken Down lyrics

Ooh, New York

Ooh, New York

Grew up in a town

That is famous as the 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, takes me down

From Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge

Some will sleep tonight

With a hunger for more than an empty fridge

I'm gonna 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 street 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

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
