Glee Cast Empire State Of Mind lyrics

Yeah, yeah, I'm up at Brooklyn, now I'm down in TriBeCa<br />
Right next to De Niro but I'll be hood forever<br />
I'm the new Sinatra and since I made it here<br />
I can make it anywhere, yeah, they love me everywhere<br />
<br />
I used to cop in Harlem, all of my Dominicanos<br />
Right there up on Broadway, pull me back to that McDonald's<br />
Took it to my stash box, 560 State Street<br />
Catch me in the Kitchen like a Simmons with them pastries<br />
<br />
Cruising down 8th Street, off white Lexus<br />
Driving so slow but BK is from Texas<br />
Me, I'm out that Bed-Stuy, home of that boy Biggie<br />
Now I live on Billboard and I brought my boys with me<br />
<br />
Say what up to Ty Ty, still sipping mai tai's<br />
Sitting courtside, Knicks and Nets give me high five<br />
Jigga, I be spiked out, I could trip a referee<br />
Tell by my attitude that I'm most definitely from<br />
<br />
New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made, oh<br />
There's nothing you can't do, now you're in New York<br />
These streets will make you feel brand new<br />
Big lights will inspire you<br />
Let's hear it for New York, New York, New York<br />
<br />
Catch me at the X with OG at a Yankee game<br />
Dude, I made the Yankee hat more famous then a Yankee can<br />
You should know I bleed blue but I ain't a Crip though<br />
But I got a gang of brothers walking with my clique though<br />
<br />
Welcome to the melting pot, corners where we selling rock<br />
Afrika Bambaataa, home of the hip hop<br />
Yellow Cab, Gypsy Cab, Dollar Cab, holla back<br />
For foreigners, it ain't, for they act like they forgot how to act<br />
<br />
8 million stories, out there in the naked<br />
City is a pity, half of y'all won't make it<br />
Me, I gotta plug Special Ed, "I Got it Made"<br />
If Jesus paying LeBron, I'm paying Dwayne Wade<br />
<br />
Three dice, Cee-lo, three card Monte<br />
Labor Day Parade, rest in peace Bob Marley<br />
Statue of Liberty, long live the World Trade<br />
Long live the kingdom I'm from the Empire State that's<br />
<br />

New York, hey, concrete jungle where dreams are made, oh<br />
There's nothing you can't do, now you're in New York<br />
These streets will make you feel brand new<br />
Big lights will inspire you<br />
Let's hear it for New York, New York, New York<br />
<br />
Lights is blinding, girls need blinders<br />
So they can step out of bounds quick, the sidelines is<br />
Lined with casualties who slip through life casually<br />
Then gradually become worse, don't bite the apple, Eve<br />
<br />
Caught up in the in-crowd, now you're in style<br />
And in the winter gets cold, En Vogue, wit'cha skin out<br />
City of sin, it's a pity on the whim<br />
Good girls gone bad, the city's filled with them<br />
<br />
Mami took a bus trip, now she got her bust out<br />
Everybody ride her just like a bus route<br />
Hail Mary to the city, you're a virgin<br />
And Jesus can't save you, life starts when the church end<br />
<br />
Came here for school, graduated to the high life<br />
Ball players, rap stars, addicted to the limelight<br />
MDMA got you feeling like a champion<br />
The city never sleeps, better slip you an Ambien<br />
<br />
New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made, oh<br />
There's nothing you can't do, now you're in New York<br />
These streets will make you feel brand new<br />
Big lights will inspire you<br />
Let's hear it for New York, New York, New York<br />
<br />
One hand in the air for the big city<br />
Street lights, big dreams, all looking pretty<br />
No place in the world that could compare<br />
Put your lighters in the air, everybody say<br />
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah<br />
<br />
New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made, oh<br />
There's nothing you can't do, now you're in New York<br />
These streets will make you feel brand new<br />
Big lights will inspire you<br />
Let's hear it for New York, New York, New York
