Capo on 4th fret
[Verse1]
Yeah, I'm out of [G]Brooklyn, now I'm down in Tribeca
 
Right next to DeNiro but I’ll be hood forever
I’m the new Si[C]Sinatra and since I made it here
 
I can make it anywhere, yeah, they love me everywhere
I used to cop in [G]Harlem, hola my Dominicanos
 
Right there up on Broadway, brought me back to that McDonalds
Took it to my [C]stash spot, 560 State street
Catch me in the [D]kitchen like a Simmons whipping pastry
Cruising down [G]8th street
 
Off-white Lexus driving so slow but BK is from Texas
Me I’m out that [C]Bed-Stuy, home of that boy Biggie
 
Now I live on Billboard and I brought my boys with me
 
 
[Pre-chorus]
[D]Say what up to[Em]to TyTy, still sipping mai tais
Sitting court[D]courtside Knicks and Nets give me high fives
Homie I be [B]Spiked out, I can trip a referee

[D]Catch me at the[G]the X with OG at a Yankee game
 
Yeah, I made the Yankee hat more famous than a Yankee can
You should know I [C]bleed Blue, but I'm not a Crip, though
 
But I got a gang of people walking with my clique though
[D]Welcome to the[G]the melting pot, corners where we selling rocks
 
Afrika Bambaataa stuff, home of the hip-hop
Yellow cab, [C]gypsy cab, dollar cab, holla back
 
For foreigners it ain't fair, they act like they forgot how to add
8 [D]million stories[G]stories out there in the naked
 
City, it's a pity half of y’all won’t make it
Me I gotta [C]plug Special Ed "I Got It Made"
 
If Jeezy's paying LeBron, I’m paying Dwyane Wade
 
 
[Pre-chorus]
[D]3 dice[Em]dice Cee-lo, 3 card Marley

[Bridge1]
[C]Lights is blinding, the girls need blinders
So [D]they can step out of bounds quick
The side lines is [Em]lined with casualties
Who sip the life casually, then [G]gradually become worse
 
Don’t bite the apple, Eve
[C]Caught up in the in-crowd, now you're in-style
And in the [D]winter gets cold en vogue with your skin out
The [Em]city of sin is a pity on a whim
Good [G]girls gone bad, the city's filled with 'em
[C]Mommy took a bus trip and now she got her bust out
[D]Everybody ride her, just like a bus route
[Em]"Hail Mary" to the city, you're a virgin
And [G]Jesus can’t save you, life starts when the church ends
[C]Brought up in school, graduated to the high life
[D]Ball players, rap stars, addicted to the limelight
[B]got you feeling like a champion
 
The city never sleeps, better slip you a Ambien
 
 
[Chorus]
In [C]New York
[D]Concrete jungle where dreams are[Em]are made, oh
There's nothing you [G]can’t do
Now you’re in [C]New York
[D] These streets will make you feel[Em]feel brand new
Big lights will ins[G]inspire you
Now you're in [C]New York, New York, New York
 
 
[Bridge2]
[C] One hand in the air for the big city
 
Street lights, big dreams all looking pretty
[D] No place in the world that can compare
