Ooh-oh Yeah, no matter where we go, we still New York, man Ooh-oh
You were the best nights of my life You got the light that always shines I miss the way that you move and the way I get high When you take me to your heights Like I'm standing in the sky
I see your subway cars, and your old graffiti I breathe your air when I land in another city I'll be that one that's got you printed on my bones Yeah, you're all I know
Everywhere I go, I ain't changed at all Always on my road I'm still New York Yeah the only home that I'll ever know My concrete walls I'm still New York I'm still New York Oh, I'm still New York
I wanna drive down riverside See the birds flying on the high line Where the sidewalks burn And we pray for rain in July I want the Yankees '99 And the Knicks on a sold out night When the curtains close and the Broadway streets are alive
I need your heartbeat close don't you ever leave me And I breathe your air when I land in another city And I'll be that one that's got you printed on my bones Yeah, you're all I know
Everywhere I go, I ain't changed at all Always on my road I'm still New York Yeah, the only home that I'll ever know My concrete walls I'm still New York
Yeah, Bk born and raised, I was Godsent I used to hit the courts out in Prospect Taking long walks on my time spent Just a kid with that Empire State of mind set Keep flipping off a blind deck Dipping from the New York cities finest Yeah, said l've been up on my New York shit Walking down the block with my New York bitch I could never leave my city, ain't nothing like it Even if I do though, I could never hide it Top down on the West side when I'm driving East side be the only side that I'm riding
I'm still New York I'm still New York I'm still New York I'm still New York, ooh And I'm still New York I'm still New York I'm still New York I'm still New York
Everywhere I go, I ain't changed at all Always on my road I'm still New York Yeah, the only home that I'll ever know My concrete walls I'm still New York I'm still New York I'm still New York And everywhere I go, I ain't changed at all I ain't changed at all I'm still New York
