Alicia Keys — Empire State of Mind Part II Broken Down Live Version

[Intro] Ooooh, New York Ooooh, New York [Verse 1] Grew up in a town that is famous as a 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 Seein' my face in lights or my name in marquees found down on Broadway [Hook 1] 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 nothin' you can't do Now you're in New York These streets will make you feel brand-new Big lights will inspire you Hear it for New York, New York, New York [Verse 2] On the avenue, there ain't never a curfew, ladies work so hard Such a meltin' pot, on the corner sellin' rock, preachers pray to God Hail a gypsy cab, takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge Someone sleeps tonight with a hunger far more than an empty fridge [Hook 2] I'mma 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 nothin' you can't do Now you're in New York These streets will make you feel brand-new Big lights will inspire you Hear it for New York, New York, New York [Bridge] One hand in the air for the big city Street lights, big dreams, all lookin' pretty No place in the world that can compare Put your lighters in the air, everybody say "Yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeah!" [Hook 3] In New York Concrete jungle where dreams are made of There's nothin' you can't do Now you're in New York These streets will make you feel brand-new Big lights will inspire you Hear it for New York
