[Verse]
I’m only right across the river looking at the bright lights of the city Dreaming Walking its streets to find meaning For me to be involved in its day is what I need and No other big reason, hoping I never leave it I love to feel the rush of its streets and live sounds Seeking for a moment of peace in downtown Feel it all inside you The streets live you see it all around Even when I am lost I feel found The city of New York! Standing I’m surrounded by people of all sorts I never want it to the end Even right at the start of it Covered in its blanket of hope want every part of it Right to the very heart of it Only problem is its also like the city of broken dreaming but damn it it’s so releaving that everytime I walk in its streets i get this feeling! (Wake up in the city that never sleeps) Wake up in the city that never sleeps Like (To find the cream of the crop, at the top of the heap) like I could never find a greater peace than to be in the city and walk amongst its streets like i’m tired of just waiting ear to the pavement I could hear its saying (I’ll make a brand new start of it) you can start brand new you know what to do its really up 2 u (New York) ever city greatest just is york new its backwards that’s why what they tell u is so true! (If I can make it there) if you can make it there (I’ll make it anywhere) You can make it anywhere (New York) u can’t compare at all birthplace of hip hop and the home of biggie smalls go! (It’s up to you, New York, New York)
