Still New York (feat. Joey Bada$$)

(Oh, oh) yeah, no matter where we go
We still New York, man (oh, oh)

You were the best nights of my life
You got the light that always shines
I miss the way that you move and the way I get high
When you take me to your eyes
Like I'm standing in the sky

I see your subway cars and your old graffiti
I breathe your air when I land in another city
I'll be that one that's got you printed on my bones
Yeah, you're all I know

Everywhere I go, I ain't changed at all
Always on my road, I'm still New York
You're the only one that I'll ever know
My concrete walls, I'm still New York

I'm still New York, ooh
Oh, I'm still New York, ooh (yeah)

And I wanna drive down Riverside
See the birds flying on the High Line
With sidewalks burning, we pray for rain in July
I want the Yankees '99 (yeah)
And the Knicks on a sold-out night
When the curtains close and the Broadway streets are alive (hey)

I need your heartbeat close, don't you ever leave me
And I'll breathe your air when I land in another city (facts)
And I'll be that one that's got you printed on my bones
Yeah, you're all I know

Everywhere I go, I ain't changed at all
Always on my own, I'm still New York
You're the only one that I'll ever know
My concrete walls, I'm still New York

Yeah, BK born and raised, I was God-sent
I used to hit the courts out in Prospect
Takin' long walks how my time spent
Just a kid with that Empire State of mindset

Kickflippin' off a Blind deck
Dippin' from the New York City's finest (New York)
Yeah, said l've been up on my New York shit
Walkin' down the block with my New York bitch

I could never leave my city, ain't nothin' like it
Even if I do though, I could never hide it
Top down on the West side when I'm drivin'
East side be the only side that I'm ridin' (whoa)

And I'm still in New York (I'm still in New York)
I'm still in New York (I'm still in New York)
I'm still in New York (ooh)
And I'm still in New York
I'm still New York (and I'm still New York)
I'm still New York (and, no)

Everywhere I go, I ain't changed at all (and everywhere I go)
Always on my road, I'm still New York (no, oh)
You're the only home that I'll ever know (no, oh, oh)
My concrete walls, I'm still New York (ooh)

I'm still New York
I'm still New York
And everywhere I go, I ain't changed at all (oh, oh)
I ain't changed at all
I'm still New York (oh, oh)
