You’ve been hit with another blow

But still you give love

And you set our souls on fire

You got your instant karma

You son of a fisherman farmer

Born to live, live free or die

You’re in your room for the very last time

You can see the car running from the hall

You assure us today is another good day

And tomorrow you will love us all

Concrete clouds still breathing, neon veins in my chest

From the F-train window, I see tomorrow flex

Alicia hums on fire escapes, Jay whispers in the bricks

Dreams stack taller than the skyline, no lease on the fix

Empire in my pulse, steel drums in my stride

Every block’s a kingdom, every bodega a guide

Hudson moonlight currency, taxis turn to gold

Catch me crown-top, rooftop, never fold

In this state of mind, we ascend, untaxed and bold

Oooh oooh’ New York (2x)

哦，哦，紐約

Grew up in a town’

我成長(zhǎng)的城鎮(zhèn)

That is famous as a place of movie scenes

美麗得好像電影一樣

Noise is always loud

聲戎犬馬

There are sirenes all around

川流熙攘

Yeah, I’m out that Brooklyn, now I’m down in Tribeca

Right next to De Niro, 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—hola, Dominicanos

Right there up on Broadway, brought me back to that McDonald’s

Took it to my stashbox, 560 State Street

Catch me in the kitchen like a Simmons whippin’ pastry

Cruisin’ down 8th Street, off-white Lexus

Drivin’ so slow, but BK is from Texas
