Alicia Keys Empire State Of Mind Pt.2 (broken Down)


Verse 1:
Grew up in a town
that was famous as a place of movie scenes
Noise was always loud
there were sirens all around
and the streets are mean
If I could make it here
I could make it anywhere
That's what they say
See my face in lights
Or my name on marqees found down on Broadway

even if it ain't all it seems
I got a pocketful of dreams
baby, I'm from

Chorus:
New York, Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now your in New York
These street's will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York, New York, New York

Verse 2:
On the avenue, there ain't neva a curfew
ladies work so hard
Such a melting pot, on the corner selling rock
Preachers pray to god
Haill a gypsy cab
takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn bridge
Someone sleeps tonight with a hunger
for more than an empty fridge

Im gonna make it by any means
I got a pocket full of dreams
Baby, Im from

Chorus:
New York, Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now your in New York
These street's will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York, New York, New York

Bridge:

One hand in the air for the big city
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:
New York, Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now your in New York
These street's will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York, New York, New York
