New York City (feat. Phil Beaudreau)
Aaah, Aaah
Woah, Woah
Welcome to the city
Aaah, Aaah
Bright lights (Woah)
Hold tight (Woah)
New York, New York
It's the city so nice, they named it twice
You're here for the sights, so you about that life
Got my blue yankee fitted (what), tins and hoodie witted (uh huh)
Anything you want in this world, here you can get it
Got my hustle, got my swag, got my mind on gettin bags
Now my shorty got that attitude, she know she bad
Rolling deep, bouncing in my jeep, on the humble
But you gotta be a lion in this concrete jungle
Out here
Avoiding these snakes watchin' for jakes (woop woop)
Move quicker than a New York minute
No time to waste
Going zero to a hundred
Like the winter to the summer
It's the Empire State and we ain't ever goin' under (Never!)
Bright lights of New York
Hard times in New York
Hold tight, New York
Yeah, yeah
You gotta love New York
Bright lights of New York
Hard times in New York
Hold tight, New York
Yeah
It's so gritty but you gotta love this city
Aaah, Aaah
Woah
Yeah, you gotta love it
Woah
My granny said a man don't work, he don't eat (Listen)
It's the Big Apple you bitin' is bittersweet
In the belly, you're the beast
But love is at the heart of it (so loved!)
Feelin' like Sinatra said you wanna be a part of it
Bronx where it started (Yeah)
Culture up in Harlem (Uptown)
Money-making Manhattan (Yeah)
Long Island, can't forget Staten (Let's Go)
Queen's got'em shook son
Spread love in Brooklyn
Made me what I came to be
It's why love this city
Bright Lights of New York
Hard times in New York (yeah)
Hold tight, New York (yeah, yeah)
Gotta love New York
Bright Lights of New York
Hard times in New York (hold tight)
Hold tight, New York
It's so litty (so lit!)
There ain't nothin' like this city
Aaah, Aaah
There's nothin' like it
Woah
Gotta Love New York
Woah (Yeah, Yeah)
Aaah
My attitude is bolder
Aaah
Because I got that New York chip on my shoulder (Woah)
I made it in this city, I can survive anywhere! (Woah)
Bright Lights of New York (it's so litty)
Hard times in New York (gotta love this city)
Hold tight, New York (shutup and bring it)
Yeah
Gotta love New York
Bright Lights of New York (BK to BX)
Hard times in New York (and everything in between, hold tight)
Hold tight, New York (money-making Manhattan, it's so litty)
But you gotta love this city
New York (do or die, Bed-Stuy)
Yeah (Brooklyn!)
It's so pretty
New York (Woah)
But you gotta love this city (All the way to Staten Island!)
Bright Lights of New York (Yeah I know what it is)
Hard times in New York (Gotta love New York)
Hold tight, New York (Gotta love New York)
It's so gritty but you gotta love this city
Woah, Woah
Welcome to the city
Aaah, Aaah
Bright lights (Woah)
