| [Nas (Alicia Keys)]
|
| Nasty, yeah, yeah (New York, New York)
|
| Hey yo black it's time again, yeah, yeah
|
| (New York, New York)
|
| Come here, yeah, yeah
|
| (New York, New York)
|
| Hey yo black it's time
|
|
|
| ["yeah, yeah, hey yo black it's time" - continues throughout song]
|
|
|
| [Nas]
|
| If you knew my streets
|
| You would know all everybody talk about is who got beef
|
| Who snitchin, who told police
|
| Who came home, who still gone, who restin in peace
|
| Now they killin over music money, not drugs, rap replaced it
|
| Cause thugs with no brains got no patience
|
| New jacks I pistol whip 'em with the funky rhythm I be kickin
|
| Musician and flatten composition
|
| A pain, I'm like Saddam Hussein
|
| Still alive lookin at his dead children's burnt remains
|
| I burnt the game, learnt you lames a new lesson
|
| Your crew's soft man, ya'll need some new weapons
|
| The P's breathe Warriorz and skullies and Timmies
|
| Around mixed, spics, niggaz and giddies
|
| From my ghetto kings in deep thought we don't blink
|
| But don't think we wastin our time
|
| It's a New York State of Mind
|
|
|
| [Chorus #1 - Alicia Keys]
|
| New York, New York, New York
|
| New York City, whoa oh
|
| New York, New York, New York
|
| New York City, baby
|
|
|
| [Alicia Keys]
|
| It's like a jungle, out here
|
| So much struggle, out here
|
| And my dream's still unphased
|
| Greed still the cousin of death
|
| Always feels like always somethin farther time
|
| In the Streets of New York
|
| (New York state of mind, New York State of mind)
|
|
|
| [Alicia Keys]
|
| All I see is street homes
|
| And who it's holdin, our people
|
| Only comforts the brain
|
| It's like I'm going insane
|
| The revolution has to start, don't waste no time
|
| In the Streets of New York
|
| (New York state of mind, New York state of mind)
|
| C'mon
|
|
|
| [Chorus #2 - Alicia Keys]
|
| New York, New York, New York, New York oh
|
| State of mind (New York City)
|
| New York, New York, New York, New York oh
|
| State of crime (New York City)
|
| New York, New York, New York, New York oh
|
| Big dreams (New York City)
|
| New York, New York, New York, New York oh
|
| Big schemes
|
|
|
| [Alicia Keys]
|
| Oh, break the game
|
| Just ain't the same
|
| Baby loves and girls with no shame
|
| Can't get away (get away), epidemic plague
|
| Every hood in every state
|
| Don't have no reasons cause relieve is hard to find
|
|
|
| [Break - Alicia Keys]
|
| In the streets of New York (New York state of mind) - [4X]
|
| ["New York state of mind" is also repeated in background]
|
|
|
| [Rakim]
|
| I'm from the home of a million legends and trend settin
|
| A lot of footsteps to follow, I've been steppin
|
| Mind stressin tryin to find a record crime shreddin
|
| Time precious, I ain't have rest since nine eleven
|
| I live fast, hustle like today is my last
|
| I get cash, the struggle's like a day on the Ave.
|
| Crack bein raw, gats squeezin off
|
| Manhattan squeezin off, from cats who tease with war
|
| The eve of the Apocalypse, evil keep movin politics
|
| Every block is at risk, the metropolitan metropolis
|
| The opposite of Liza Minelli and Frank Sinatra
|
| Alicia Keys, Nas and Ra the gangsta's opera
|
| So New York City walk with me, talk gritty
|
| It's up to us New York it's our city
|
| Here the man come with the anthem, hands up
|
| It's time the thrill is back New York, let's stand up
|
|
|
| [Chorus - w/ ad libs]
|
|
|
| [Rakim - talking behind Chorus]
|
| Oh yeah, crucial Keys
|
| Your God Rakim Allah
|
| New York City, Nasty Nas
|
| A. Keys, yeah, c'mon |
 |
