[00:03.203]Listen on your New Yorkers...
[00:35.739]
[00:35.739]Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten
[00:38.940]From the Battery to the top of Manhattan
[00:41.332]Asian, Middle Eastern and Latin
[00:43.882]Black, white, New York you make it happen
[00:46.514]
[00:46.514]Brownstones, water towers, trees, skyscrapers
[00:49.087]Writers, prize fighters, and Wall Street traders
[00:51.668]We come together on the subway cars
[00:53.731]Diversity unified, whoever you are
[00:56.329]
[00:56.329]Uh, we doing fine
[00:57.941]On the One and Nine line
[00:59.629]On the L we're doing swell
[01:01.539]On the number ten bus we fight and fuss
[01:03.968]Because we're thorough in the boroughs
[01:05.712]And that's a must
[01:06.661]
[01:06.661]I remember when the Deuce was all porno flicks
[01:09.300]Running home after school
[01:10.554]To play Pix At lunch
[01:12.598]
[01:12.598]I'd go to Blimpies down on Montague Street
[01:14.211]And hit the Fulton Street
[01:15.837]Mall for the sneakers on my feet
[01:17.040]Dear New York
[01:18.229]I hope you're doing well
[01:19.501]
[01:19.501]I know a lot's happen and you've been through hell
[01:22.078]So, we give thanks for providing a home
[01:24.424]Through your gates
[01:25.422]At Ellis Island we passed in droves
[01:27.191]
[01:27.191]Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten
[01:30.008]From the Battery to the top of Manhattan
[01:32.563]Asian, Middle Eastern and Latin
[01:35.116]Black, white, New York you make it happen
[01:37.780]
[01:37.780]The L.I.E., the B.Q.E.
[01:39.853]Hippies at the band shell with the LSD
[01:42.454]Get my BVD's from VIM
[01:44.966]You know I'm repping Manhattan the best
[01:47.644]
[01:47.644]I can stopped off at Bleeker Bob's
[01:49.038]Got thrown out
[01:49.932]Sneaking' in at 4A.M. after going out
[01:52.702]They didn't rob me in the park at Dianna Ross
[01:55.345]But everybody started looting when the lights went off
[01:57.691]
[01:57.691]From the South, South Bronx on out to Queens Bridge
[02:00.667]From Hollis Queens right down to Bay Ridge
[02:03.364]From Castle Hill to the Lower East Side
[02:05.453]From 1010WINS to Live At Five
[02:07.920]
[02:07.920]Dear New York, this is a love letter
[02:10.937]To you and how you brought us together
[02:13.399]We can't say enough about all you do
[02:15.585]Because in the city we’re ourselves and electric too
[02:18.363]
[02:18.363]Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten
[02:21.101]From the Battery to the top of Manhattan
[02:23.838]Asian, Middle Eastern and Latin
[02:26.288]Black, white, New York you make it happen
[02:29.229]
[02:48.621]Shout out to
[02:50.053]South Bronx where my mom hails from
[02:51.481]Right next to
[02:52.301]High Bridge across
[02:53.455]From Harlem To the Grand Concourse
[02:55.441]where my mom and dad met
[02:56.857]Before they moved on down to the Upper West
[02:58.112]
[02:58.112]I see you're still strong after all that's gone on
[03:02.093]Lifelong we dedicate this song
[03:04.689]Just a little something to show some respect
[03:06.888]To the city that blends and mends and tests
[03:09.704]
[03:09.704]Since 911, we're still living
[03:11.516]And loving life we've been given
[03:14.930]Ain't nothing going to take that away from us
[03:16.686]We’re looking pretty and gritty because in the city we trust
[03:19.899]
[03:19.899]Dear New York
[03:21.067]I know a lot has changed
[03:22.452]Two towers down but you're still in the game
[03:24.848]Home to many, rejecting no one
[03:27.557]Accepting peoples of all places, wherever they from
[03:30.173]
[03:30.173]Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten
[03:32.953]From the Battery to the top of Manhattan
[03:35.599]Asian, Middle Eastern and Latin
[03:37.999]Black, white, New York you make it happen
[03:40.627]
[03:40.627]Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten
[03:43.289]From the Battery to the top of Manhattan
[03:45.676]Asian, Middle Eastern and Latin
[03:48.284]Black, white, New York you make it happen
