[Alicia Keys]
In New York,
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of,
Theres nothing you can’t do,
Now you’re in New York,
these streets will make you feel brand new,
Big lights will inspire you,

[Jay-Z]
I made you hot n-gga,Catch me at the X with OG at a Yankee game,sh-t i made the yankee hat more famous than a yankee can,you should know I bleed Blue, but I aint a crip tho,but i got a gang of n-ggas walking with my clique though,welcome to the melting pot,corners where we selling rocks,afrika bambaataa sh-t,home of the hip hop,yellow cab, gypsy cab, dollar cab, holla back,for foreigners it aint fair they act like they forgot how to add,8 million stories out there and their naked,lyrics courtesy of killerhiphop.comcities is a pity half of y’all won’t make it,me i gotta plug Special Ed and i got it made,If Jeezy’s payin LeBron, I’m paying Dwayne Wade,3 dice cee-lo3 card Monte,labor day parade, rest in peace Bob Marley,Statue of Liberty, long live the World trade,long live the king yo,I’m from the empire state thats…
[Chorus]
Welcome to the bright light..
[Jay-Z]
Lights is blinding,girls need blindersso they can step out of bounds quick,the side lines is blind with casualties,who sipping life casually, then gradually become worse,don’t bite the apple Eve,caught up in the in crowd,now your in-style,and in the winter gets cold en vogue with your skin out,the city of sin is a pity on a whim,good girls gone bad, the cities filled with them,Mami took a bus trip and now she got her bust out,everybody ride her, just like a bus route,Hail Mary to the city your a Virgin,and Jesus can’t save you life starts when the church ends,lyrics courtesy of killerhiphop.comcame here for school, graduated to the high life,ball players, rap stars, addicted to the limelight,MDMA got you feeling like a champion,the city never sleeps better slip you a Ambien
[Chorus]
[Alicia Keys]
One hand in the air for the big city,Street lights, big dreams all looking pretty,no place in the World that can compare,Put your lighters in the air, everybody say yeaaahhcome on, come,yeah,
[Chorus]
Summary:
This song is about New York. New York has special power. New York makes us special.
Why I like this song:
Actually, I could not understand the song's meaning at first, but I like this song because it is hip-hop but women's main part is so clear, and once I listen to this song, I can't forget it. And more, I can imagine how New York is from this song. Though New York is so big city, I would like to visit New York which dreams are made of and there are nothing I can't do.
