jay z empire state of mind featuring alicia keys lyrics

Welcome to the melting pot, corners where we sellin' rockĪfrika Bambataa shit, home of the hip-hop

You should know I bleed blue, but I ain't a Crip thoughīut I got a gang of niggas walkin' with my clique though Shit, I made the Yankee hat more famous then a Yankee can These streets will make you feel brand newĬatch me at the X with OG at a Yankee game New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of Tell by my attitude that I'm most definitely from. Nigga I be Spike'd out, I could trip a referee Sittin' courtside, Knicks & Nets give me high five Say what's up to Ty-Ty, still sippin' mai tai's Now I live on Billboard and I brought my boys with me Me, I'm out that Bed-Stuy, home of that boy Biggie

Right there up on Broadway, pull me back to that McDonald'sĬatch me in the kitchen like a Simmons with them Pastry's I used to cop in Harlem, all of my Dominicano's I can make it anywhere, yea, they love me everywhere Right next to Deniro, but I'll be hood forever Yea I'm out that Brooklyn, now I'm down in TriBeCa
