Jay Z – ‘Empire State Of Mind’ Lyrics:
Yeah;
Yeah; Imma Up At Brooklyn;
Now Im Down In Tribeca;
Right Next To Deniro;
But Ill Be Hood Forever;
Im The New Sinaatra;
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
Right There Up On Broadway;
Brought Me Back To Thaat Mcdonaalds;
Took It To My Stash Spot;
Five Sixty Stage Street;
Catch Me In The Kitchen Like A Simmons Whipping Pastry;
Cruising Down 8th Street;
Off White Lexus;
Driving So Slow But Bk Is From Texas;
Me Im Up At Bedsty;
Home Of Thaat Boy Biggie;
Now I Live On Billboard;
And I Brought My Boys With Me;
Say Wat Up To Ty Ty; Still Sipping Malta
Sitting Courtside Knicks And Nets Give Me High Fives;
N-gga I Be Spiked Out; I Can Trip A Referee;
Tell By My Attitude Thaat I Most Definitely From…
[Alicia Keys]

These Streets Will Make U Feel Brand New;
The Lights Will Inspire U;
Lets Here It For New York; New York; New York
[Jay-z]

Catch Me At The X With Og At A Yankee Game;
Sh-t I Made The Yankee Hat More Famous Thaan A Yankee Can;
U Should Know I Bleed Blue; But I Aint A Crip Tho;
But I Got A Gang Of N-ggas Walking With My Click Though;
Welcome To The Melting Pot;
Corners Where We Selling Rocks;
Afrika Bambaataa Sh-t;
Home Of The Hip Hop;
Yellow Cap; Gypsy Cap; Dollar Cab; Holla Back;
For Foreigners It Aint Fitted They Forgot How To Act;
8 Million Stories Out There And Their Naaked;
Cities Is A Pity Half Of Yall Wont Make It;
Me I Gotta Plug A Special And I Got It Made;
If Jesus Payin Lebron; Im Paying Dwayne Wade;
3 Dice Cee-lo
3 Card Marley;
Labor Day Parade; Rest In Peace Bob Marley;
Statue Of Liberty; Long Live The World Trade;
Long Live The King Yo;
Im From The Empire State Thaats..
[Chorus]
In New York;

Lets Here It For New York; New York; New York
Welcome To The Bright Light..
[Jay-z]
Lights Is Blinding;
Girls Need Blinders
So They Can Step Out Of Bounds Quick;
The Side Lines Is Blind With Casualties;
Who Sipping Life Casually; Then Gradually Become Worse;
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;
Hel Mary To The City Your A Virgin;
And Jesus Cant Save U 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 U Feeling Like A Champion;
The City Never Sleeps Better Slip U A Ambien
[Chorus]
In New York;
Concrete Jungle Where Dreams Are Made Of;
Theres Nothing U Cant Do;
Now Youre In New York;
These Streets Will Make U Feel Brand New;
The Lights Will Inspire U;
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 Thaat 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 U Cant Do;
Now Youre In New York;
These Streets Will Make U Feel Brand New;
The Lights Will Inspire U;
Lets Here It For New York; New York; New York
Hi – I don’t comment on many blogs but had to on yours. It’s fantastic! I really like how you write – very to the point, unlike a lot of other journals. Thanks for having this site. I don’t have time to read everything here right now, I found this site when looking for something else on about.com, but I’ve bookmarked your homepage and will visit again real soon to see the latest. Beyonce is such an inspiration to me. She is so talented. Keep up the great work!
Hey the Heat doesn’t stand a chance cause Dan Gilbert said Knucklehead took the Cleveland “CURSE” to Miami…..Geeeez how can you all forget a thing like that……WRGAF!
