É,
É, Eu sou do Brooklyn,
Agora estou no Tribeca,
Bem perto do DeNiro,
Mas serei da quebrada pra sempre,
Sou o novo Sinatra,
E já que consegui vencer aqui,
Consigo vencer em qualquer lugar,
Sim eles me amam por toda a parte,
Eu costumava dar role no Harlem,
Todos os meus amigos Dominicanos
Bem ali na Broadway,
Me fizeram lembrar daquele Mc Donalds,
Levaram-me para o meu esconderijo,
Rua Five Sixty Stage
Me pego na cozinha como Simmons fazendo doces
Passeando pela 8ª rua,
Com meu Lexus pastel
Dirigindo na boa, mas a BK (Beyonce Knowles) é do Texas,
Eu? Sou de Bedsty (Bedford-Stuyvesant)
Casa daquele carinha, Biggie
Agora eu vivo nas paradas de sucesso,
E trouxe os meus amigos comigo
Diga: Qual é? Para o Ty Ty (Tyron Smith)... continua bebendo Malta
Sentado ao lado da quadra dos Knicks e os Nets me cumprimentam
Nego eu posso cravar, derrubar o juíz,
Definitivamente, por essas minhas atitudes, dá pra saber que sou de...?
[Alicia Keys]
Nova York,
A selva de pedra do que os sonhos são feitos,
Não há nada que você não possa fazer,
Agora você está em Nova York,
Essas ruas vão fazer você se sentir novo em folha,
As grandes luzes vão te inspirar,
Salva de palmas para Nova York, Nova York, Nova York
[Jay-Z]
Eu fiz você ser o cara, maluco
Me encontre na primeira fila com o OG (Juan Perez) num jogo do Yankees,
Porra, fiz o boné dos Yankees ficar mais famoso do que um Yankee foi capaz,
Você devia saber que eu sangro azul, não que eu seja um Crip (gangue de Nova York)
Mas eu tenho um bando de negos que andam na minha gangue também,
Bem vindo a casa das diversidades,
Esquinas onde vendemos pedras,
Afrika Bambaataa, porra,
Berço do hip-hop,
Boné amarelo, boné pirata, táxi de 1 dólar, fala comigo,
Para os estrangeiros a barra é pesada, eles esqueceram de como agir,
8 milhões de historias lá fora e são todas verdade,
A cidade é uma lástima, metade de vocês não vão vencer
Eu? Dei um golpe de sorte e venci,
Se Jesus está pagando o LeBron, eu estou pagando o Dwayne Wade,
3 dados na aposta do Cee-Lo,
3 cartões Marley
No dia do trabalhador, descanse em paz Bob Marley
Estátua da Liberdade, para sempre World Trade,
Vida longa ao rei, mano
Eu sou do Empire State, que fica...?
[Alicia Keys]
Em Nova York,
A selva de pedra do que os sonhos são feitos,
Não há nada que você não possa fazer,
Agora você está em Nova York,
Essas ruas vão fazer você se sentir novo em folha,
As grandes luzes vão te inspirar,
Salva de palmas para Nova York, Nova York, Nova York
[Jay-Z]
Luzes ofuscantes,
As garotas precisam de cortinas,
Para que elas possam passar dos limites rapidamente,
As linhas laterais estão cegas com casualidades,
Quem curte a vida casualmente, depois gradualmente piora,
Não morda a maçã, Eva,
Apanhada na multidão,
Agora você está no estilo,
E no inverno faz frio. Moda inglesa, com o corpo a mostra,
A cidade do pecado é uma lástima de caprichos,
Boas garotas se tornam más, a cidade está infestada delas,
Mãezinha saiu para um passeio de ônibus com o peito de fora,
Todo mundo come ela, como a rota de um ônibus,
Ave Maria, nessa cidade, você é uma Virgem,
E Jesus não pode salvar sua vida começa quando a igreja acaba,
Veio para cá para estudar, graduou-se na vida de alto nível,
Jogadores de basquete, estrelas do rap, viciados em holofotes.
Ecstasy te fez sentir uma campeã,
A cidade nunca dorme, melhor você tomar um calmante
[Alicia Keys]
Nova York,
A selva de pedra do que os sonhos são feitos,
Não há nada que você não possa fazer,
Agora você está em Nova York,
Essas ruas vão fazer você se sentir novo em folha,
As grandes luzes vão te inspirar,
Salva de palmas para Nova York, Nova York, Nova York
Mão para cima para a grande cidade,
Luzes na ruas, grandes sonhos tudo tão bonito,
Nenhum lugar no mundo se compara,
Isqueiros para o alto, e todos digam yeah
Vamos lá! Vamos lá!
Nova York,
A selva de pedra do que os sonhos são feitos,
Não há nada que você não possa fazer,
Agora você está em Nova York,
Essas ruas vão fazer você se sentir novo em folha,
As grandes luzes vão te inspirar,
Salva de palmas para Nova York, Nova York, Nova York.
Letra original
Yeah,
Yeah, Imma up at Brooklyn,
Now Im down in Tribeca,
Right next to DeNiro,
But I'll be hood forever,
I'm the new Sinatra,
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 that McDonalds,
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 I'm up at Bedsty,
Home of that boy Biggie,
Now I live on billboard,
And I brought my boys with me,
Say what up to Ty Ty, still sipping Malta
Sitting courtside Knicks and Nets give me high fives,
Nigga I be spiked out, I can trip a referee,
Tell by my attitude that I most definitely from?
[Alicia Keys]

For foreigners it aint fitted act like they forgot how to act,

[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,
Don't 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,
Hail Mary to the city your a Virgin,
And Jesus can't save you 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 you feeling like a champion,
The city never sleeps better slip you a Ambien
[Alicia Keys]

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 yeeah yeeah yeeah yeeah
Come on, come on
In New York,
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of,
There's nothing you can't do,
Now you're in New York,
