Empire State of Mind Part2

The song celebrates New York City, describing it as a concrete jungle where dreams are made. It references the noise, sirens and mean streets but says that if you can make it in New York you can make it anywhere. The lyrics describe the hustle and bustle of the city with preachers, rock sellers, and gypsy cabs, but also the bright lights and inspiration of Broadway and achieving your dreams in the big city. It concludes by asking everyone to put their lighters in the air and shout out for New York.

Alicia Keys - Empire State Of Mind, Part 2 - Lyrics

Ooohh New York, Ooohh New York

Grew up in a town that is famous as the place of movie scenes


Noise is always loud, there are sirens all around and the streets are mean
If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere, that's what they say
Seeing my face in lights or my name in marquees found down on 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
Let's hear it for New York, New York, New Yoooork!

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
Some will sleep tonight with a hunger for more than an empty fridge

I'm gonna make it by any means, 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 street will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Let's hear it for New York, New York, New Yoooork!

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

In 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
Let's hear it for New York, New York, New Yoooork!
