Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Cruising down 8th Street, off-white Lexus

Driving so slow, but BK is from Texas

 Me, I'm up at Bed-Stuy, home of that boy Biggie

Now I live on Billboard, and I brought my boys with me

Eight million stories out there, and they're naked

Cities is a pity, half of y'all won't make it

Me, I gotta plug, Special Ed "I Got It Made"

If Jeezy's payin' LeBron, yes I'm paying

In 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, let's hear it for New York

New York, New York

Catch me at the X with OG at a Yankee game

 Shit, I made the Yankee hat more famous than a Yankee can

You should know I bleed blue, but I ain't a Crip though

But I got a gang of niggas

Mommy took a bus trip, now she got her bust out

Everybody ride her just like a bus route

Hail Mary to the city, you're a virgin

And Jesus can't save you

In 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, let's hear it for New York

New York, New York
