Empire State Of Mind Ii (broken Down) Lyrics - Alicia Keys

New York, New York 

Grew up in a town that is famous as the place of movie scenes 

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 in 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 

There's nothing you can't do 

Now you're in New York 

These streets will make you feel brand new 

Big lights will inspire you 

Let's hear it for New York, New York, New Yoooork!

On the avenue, there ain't never a curfew, ladies work so hard 

Such a melting pot, on the corner selling rock, preachers pray to God 

Hail a gypsy cab, takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge 

Some will sleep tonight with a hunger for more than an empty fridge 

I'm gonna 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 

These street will make you feel brand new 

Big lights will inspire you 

Let's hear it for New York, New York, New York! 

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 yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

In New York 

Concrete jungle where dreams are made of 

There's nothing you can't do 

Now you're in New York 

These streets will make you feel brand new 

Big lights will inspire you 

Let's hear it for New Yooooooooooork
