[Nas (Alicia Keys)]
Nasty, yeah, yeah (New York, New York)
Hey yo black it's time again, yeah, yeah
(New York, New York)
Come here, yeah, yeah
(New York, New York)
Hey yo black it's time
["yeah, yeah, hey yo black
it's time" - continues
throughout song]
[Nas]
If you knew my streets
You would know all everybody talk
about is who got beef
Who snitchin, who told police
Who came home, who still gone, who restin in peace
Now they killin over music money,
not drugs, rap replaced it
Cause thugs with no brains got no patience
New jacks I pistol whip 'em with the
funky rhythm I be kickin
Musician and flatten composition
A pain, I'm like Saddam Hussein
Still alive lookin at his dead
children's burnt remains
I burnt the game, learnt you lames a new lesson
Your crew's soft man, ya'll need some new weapons
The P's breathe Warriorz and skullies and Timmies
Around mixed, spics, niggaz and giddies
From my ghetto kings in deep thought we don't blink
But don't think we wastin our time
It's a New York State of Mind
[Chorus #1 - Alicia Keys]
New York, New York, New York
New York City, whoa oh
New York, New York, New York
New York City, baby
[Alicia Keys]
It's likejungle a jungle, out there,so here
So muchstruggle struggle, out here
And mydreams steal my rest,sleeps dream's still unphased
Greed still the cousin of death
Alwaysfeel feels like a race against father time,in always somethin farther time
In thestreets Streets of New York
(New York state of mind, New York State of mind)
[Alicia Keys]
All I see is streethoes,and bullet holes in my homes
And who it's holdin, our people
Onlycrime fills comforts the brain,feels brain
It's like I'm going insane
The revolution has tostart,don't start, don't waste no time
In the Streets of New York
(New York state of mind, New York state of mind)
C'mon
[Chorus #2 - Alicia Keys]
New York, New York, New York, New York oh
State of mind (New York City)
New York, New York, New York, New York oh
State of crime (New York City)
New York, New York, New York, New York oh
Big dreams (New York City)
New York, New York, New York, New York oh
Big schemes
[Alicia Keys]
Oh, break the game
Just ain't the same
Baby loves and girls with no shame
Can't get away (get away), epidemic plague
Every hood in every state
Don't have no reasons cause relieve is hard to find
[Break - Alicia Keys]
In the streets of New York (New
York state of mind) - [4X]
["New York state of mind" is
also repeated in background]
[Rakim]
I'm from the home of a million
legends and trend settin
A lot of footsteps to follow, I've been steppin
Mind stressin tryin to find a record crime shreddin
Time precious, I ain't have rest since nine eleven
I live fast, hustle like today is my last
I get cash, the struggle's like a day on the Ave.
Crack bein raw, gats squeezin off
Manhattan squeezin off, from
cats who tease with war
The eve of the Apocalypse, evil keep movin politics
Every block is at risk, the metropolitan metropolis
The opposite of Liza Minelli and Frank Sinatra
Alicia Keys, Nas and Ra the gangsta's opera
So New Yorkstate of mind City walk with me, talk gritty
It's up to us New York it's our city
Here the man come with the anthem, hands up
It's time the thrill is back
New York, let's stand up
[Chorus - w/ ad libs]
[Rakim - talking behind Chorus]
Oh yeah, crucial Keys
Your God Rakim Allah
New Yorkstate of crime City, Nasty Nas
New York big dreams
New York big schemes
Ohhh it's like the game,just ain't the same
Baby thugs and girls with no shame,can't get away epidemic plagues
Every hood in every state,don't have no reason cause believin's hard to find
In the streets of New York A. Keys, yeah, c'mon
Nasty, yeah, yeah (New York, New York)
Hey yo black it's time again, yeah, yeah
(New York, New York)
Come here, yeah, yeah
(New York, New York)
Hey yo black it's time
