Empire State Of Mind, Pt. 2 Lyrics - The Element Of Freedom - Alicia Keys

Oooh oooh, New York 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 could make it here 

I could make it anywhere 

That's what they say 

Seeing my face in lights 

Or my name in marquees found down Broadway 

Even if it ain't all it seems 

I got a pocketful of dreams 

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 

These streets will make you feel brand new 

Big lights will inspire you 

Hear it for New York, New York, New York 

On the avenue, there ain't never a curfew 

Ladies work so hard 

Such a melting pot on the corner selling rock 

Preachers pray to God 

Hail a gypsy cab 

Takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge 

Someone sleeps tonight with a hunger 

For more than from an empty fridge 

I'm going to make it by any means 

I got a pocketful of dreams 

Baby, I'm from 

One hand in the air for the big city 

Street lights, big dreams, all looking pretty 

No place in the world that can compared 

Put your lighters in the air 

Everybody say yeah, yeah yeah
