Текст песни Empire State of Mind - Shoshana Bean , Brandon Victor Dixon , Maleah Joi Moon

Ooh, ooh, New York
They play these notes, and they play these notes
And I play my notes
Ooh, ooh, New York
And from these basics, our melody can evolve

Grew up in a town that is famous as a place of movie scene
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 on 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 (ah)
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new (ah)
Big lights will inspire you (ah)
Hear it for New York, New York, New York

On the avenue, there ain't never a curfew, ladies work so hard (hm)
Such a melting pot, on the corner selling rock, preachers pray to God
Hail a gypsy cab, take it down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge
Someone sleeps tonight with a hunger far more than an empty fridge

I'ma 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 (New York)
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you

Talking 'bout New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of (ah)
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new (ah)
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York, New York, New York

One hand in the air for the big city
Streetlights, big dreams, all looking pretty (ah)
No place in the world that can compare (ah)
Put your lighters in the air, everybody say
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

In New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of (ah)
There's nothing you can't do (ah)
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new (ah)
Big lights will inspire you (ah)
Hear it for New York, New York, New York

She be spiked out, she could trip a referee
Hey (come on), hey, hey (come on)
Tell by her attitude that she's most definitely from
(Come on) from (where she from?)
Statue of Liberty, home of the World Trade (come on)
Hey (come on), hey, hey (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Long live the queen, yo (come on), she's from the Empire State (come on)
That's, that's, that's (come on)
In New York, New York, New York
