Empire State Lyrics Yeah, Yeah, Imma up at Brooklyn, Now Im down in Tribeca, Right next to DeNiro, But i’ll be hood forever, I’m the new Sinatra, And since I made it here, I can make it anywhere, Yeah they love me everywhere, I used to cop in Harlem, All of my dominicanos Right there up on broadway, Brought me back to that McDonalds, Took it to my stash spot, Five Sixty Stage street, Catch me in the kitchen like a simmons whipping pastry, Cruising down 8th street, Off white lexus, Driving so slow but BK is from Texas, Me I’m up at Bedsty, Home of that boy Biggie, Now I live on billboard, And I brought my boys with me, Say wat up to Ty Ty, still sipping Malta Sitting courtside Knicks and Nets give me high fives, N-gga I be spiked out, I can trip a referee, Tell by my attitude that I most definitely from… 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, The lights will inspire you, Lets here it for New York, New York, New York 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 click though, Welcome to the melting pot, Corners where we selling rocks, Afrika bambaataa sh-t, Home of the hip hop, Yellow cap, gypsy cap, dollar cab, holla back, For foreigners it aint fitted they forgot h
