Empire State Of Mind II (Broken Down) Lyrics

Ooh, New York Ooh, New York
Grew up in a town that is famous as a place of movie scenes Noises always loud There are sirens all around And the streets are mean
If I can make it here I can make it anywhere, that's what they say Seein' my face in lights Or my name on marquees found down on Broadway
Even if it ain't all it seems I got a pocketful of dreams
Baby, I'm from New York Concrete jungle where dreams are made, oh There's nothing you can't do Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new Big lights will inspire you Hear it for New York, New York, New York
On the avenue, there ain't never a curfew Ladies work so hard Such a melting pot, on the corner selling rock Preachers pray to God
Hail a Gypsy Cab [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/empire-state-of-mind-ii-broken-down-lyrics-alicia-keys.html ] Takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge Some will sleep tonight With a hunger for more than an empty fridge
I'm gonna make it by any means I got a pocketful of dreams
Baby, I'm from New York Concrete jungle where dreams are made, oh There's nothing you can't do Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new Big lights will inspire you Hear it for New York, New York, New York
One hand in the air for the big city Street lights, big dreams all looking pretty No place in the world can compare Put your lighters in the air, everybody say Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
New York Concrete jungle where dreams are made, oh There's nothing you can't do Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new Big lights will inspire you Hear it for New York
