2 s Empire State of Mind (Live from Movistar Arena Bogota, Colombia) Lyrics[Intro: Alicia Keys]
Let's do it
Ooh, New York (You look so beautiful)
Ooh, New York
[Verse 1: Alicia Keys]
Grew up in a town that is famous as a place of movie scenes
Noise is 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
Seeing my face in lights or my name on marquees found down on Broadway
[Pre-Chorus: Alicia Keys]
Even if it ain't all it seems, I got a pocketful of dreams
[Chorus: Alicia Keys]
Baby, I'm from New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
Thеse streets will make you feel brand new
Lights will inspirе you
Talkin' 'bout New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
Nothing you can't do
You're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York, New York, New York

Let's go
[Verse 2: JAY-Z]
Yeah, 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, my Dominicanos (Dimelo!)
Right there up on Broadway, brought me back to that McDonald's
Took it to my stash spot, 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
Me? I'm out that Bed-Stuy, home of that boy Biggie
Now I live on Billboard and I brought my boys with me
Say what up to Ty Ty, still sippin' Mai Tais
Sittin' courtside, Knicks and Nets give me high-fives
Nigga, I be spiked out, I could trip a referee
Tell by my attitude that I'm most definitely from
[Chorus: Alicia Keys]
In New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
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
(Let's see)
[Bridge: Alicia Keys]
One hand in the air for the big city (Put your hands up)
Street lights, big dreams, all looking pretty
No place in the world that can compare
Put your lighters in the air, everybody say
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus: Alicia Keys]
In New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
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
Talkin' 'bout my city New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
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
[Outro: Alicia Keys]
Yes, Bogotá
