- [Chorus]Brooklyn,
Bronx, Queens and
StatenFrom the
Battery to the top of
ManhattanAsian,
Middle Eastern and
LatinBlack, white,
New York you make it happen[Verse 1]
Brownstones, water towers, trees, skyscrapers
Writers, prize fighters, and
Wall Street traders
We come together on the subway cars
Diversity unified, whoever you are
Uh, we doing fine on the
One and Nine line
On the L were doing swell
On the number ten bus we fight and fuss
Because were thorough in the boroughs
And thats a must
I remember when the
Deuce was all porno flicks
Running home after school to play
PixAt lunch
Id go to
Blimpies down on
Montague Street
And hit the
Fulton Street
Mall for the sneakers on my feet
Dear New York,
I hope youre doing well
I know a lots happen and youve been through hell
So, we give thanks for providing a home
Through your gates at
Ellis Island we passed in droves[Chorus][Verse 2]
The L.I.E. the
B.Q.E.Hippies at the band shell with the
LSDGet my
BVDs from
VIMYou know
Im repping
Manhattan the best
I canStopped off at
Bleeker Bobs, got thrown out
Sneaking in at 4
AM after going out
They didnt rob me in the park at
Dianna Ross
But everybody started looting when the lights went off
From the South
South Bronx on out to
Queens Bridge
From Hollis
Queens right down to
Bay RidgeFrom
Castle Hill to the
Lower East
SideFrom 1010
WINS to Live
At FiveDear
New York, this is a love letter
To you and how you brought us together
We cant say enough about all you do
Because in the city we ourselves and electric too[Chorus][Verse 3]
Shout out to
South Bronx where my mom hails from
Right next to
High Bridge across from
HarlemTo the
Grand Concourse where my mom and dad met
Before they moved on down to the
Upper West
I see youre still strong after all thats gone on
Lifelong we dedicate this song
Just a little something to show some respect
To the city that blends and mends and tests
Since 911, were still living
And loving life weve been given
Aint nothing going to take that away from us
Were looking pretty and gritty because in the city we trust
Dear New York,
I know a lot has changed
Two towers down but youre still in the game
Home to many rejecting no one
Accepting peoples of all places, wherever they from[Chorus]
