Empire State of Mind [Jay-Z feat. Alicia Keys cover]
I was only 17 when your feeling came to me Further lights surrounding me, subway meets and empathy I can feel it in the cheek, of every block and city street It's New York city yo And every person I will meet Was the world and just a peek Teaching me to some heart All the finish wore a start I could feel it's in your cheek from me
Now you're in New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of There's nothing you can't do Cause you're in New York These streets will make you feel brand new Big lights will inspire you Cause you're in New York, New York, New York
Was it Broadway on my mind, could make me see my name in lights Was it that knew, said be careful what you do Or maybe it was just a cold, that made the spring of my love go
It's New York city yo Or maybe it was that parade, that made you feel like holiday Or the parties through the night, that don't get out until the light All I know it's better and good But it feels the way it should, yeah It's New York city, yo
Now you're in New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of There's nothing you can't do Cause you're in New York These streets will make you feel brand new Big lights will inspire you Now you're in New York, New York, New York Don't stop this strange, don't stop this strange Found love, this is where my heart is Don't stop this strange, don't stop this strange.
