[Intro]
It seems so hard to find a friend, to find a friend in the New York city!
Yo, yo! New York, New York, New York, New York
New York, New York, New York, New York
[Verse 1: Saigon]
Make it here, make it anywhere, yeah
Is that deep and it's hard to have a dream in the city that never sleeps
The Apple is round, but so it's the worm in it
Lean the city twice, gotta double up the earn in it!
Nothing is faster than a New York Minute
So I wear a white T with a blue letters [?]
[?] I get high, gotta be high [?]
And the statue winked at me when [?]
[?] a New York boss, Teflon don
Still toasted the Big in the Bens, Blow[?]
Bright lights and dim fog
Fat chances[?] n***as to get your[?]
And I've been on the streets, so I've been hard, f** with you ..and who you fought!
What you thought, n***a is New York, New York!
[?]
[Hook]
New York, New York, New York, New York
New York, New York, New York, New York
New York, New York, New York, New York
New York, New York, New York, New York
[Verse 2: Styles P]
Look, not only is the hip hop birth place
Is where they buried you the scenario, the worst case
At your burial n***a show up and you [?]
Put a gun in a n***a that's driving the [?]
Give us that ba*tard in the casket, or get hurt, mate!
And God make us shake, we be making the earthquake
I used to buy my bicycle [?]
I take you to the city [?]
Where everybody ain't packing
Just at least two thirds, that's [?]
Or we can walk down the hill on [?]
So many gunshots, they don't even sound real
Still, I love New York, there's where I come from
And it ain't all bad homie, we some fun
And we're chilling the two zero one, one
So learn from us and quiet the riots in London
[Hook]
[Bridge: Jared Evan]
It's the city with the bright lights
And you can get it for the right price
And you can gave it like that, if you want it like that
Only in New York!
It's a party every day and night
And everybody is invited
So you can have it like that, if you have it like that
Only in New York! New York City!
[Hook]
