[01:34.010]Welcome to the melting pot, corners where we selling rock
[01:36.420]Afrika Bambaataa ****, home of the hip hop
[01:39.140]Yellow Cab, Gypsy Cab, Dollar Cab, holla back
[01:42.170]For foreigners it ain't fair, they act like they forgot how to add
[01:45.400]Eight million stories out there, and they're naked
[01:47.600]Cities is a pity, half of y'all won't make it
[01:50.420]Me, I gotta plug, Special Ed "I Got It Made"
[01:52.920]If Jeezy payin' LeBron, I'm paying Dwyane Wade

[02:31.190]New York, New York
[02:36.340]Lights is blinding, girls need blinders
[02:38.920]So they can step out of bounds quick
[02:40.370]The sidelines is blind with casualties
[02:43.120]Who sipping life casually, then gradually become worse
[02:46.160]Don't bite the apple, Eve, caught up in the in crowd
[02:50.650]Now you're in style, end of the winter gets cold
[02:53.390]En vogue with your skin out, the city of sin is a pity on a whim
[02:56.470]Good girls gone bad, the cities filled with them
[03:00.560]Mommy took a bus trip, now she got her bust out
[03:03.140]Everybody ride her just like a bus route
[03:06.140]Hail Mary to the city, you're a virgin
[03:08.930]And Jesus can't save you, life starts when the church ends
[03:11.850]Came here for school, graduated to the high life

[03:52.730]One hand in the air for the big city
[03:55.320]Street lights, big dreams all looking pretty
[03:58.090]No place in the world that can compare
[04:00.810]Put your lighters in the air, everybody say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
