Brooklyn, Queens to the boogie down
Staten and Harlem World Renowned
This one is, where the dreamers be
This one is where the fighters see
Queens raised me up to be strong
Landed in Brooklyn's where the nights felt long
The Bronx was wild
What a nonstop ride
But Manhattan and Staten stood by my side
New York — it's a movie scene
Dreams grow big -
And hearts stay keen
You fall down - get back on your feet
The struggle - and the hustle they meet
Be who you wanna be
Need no crown to feel like royalty
Every block tells a story
And mine begins with glory
New York is the place to be
A rhythm, a roar, a legacy
You hold the keys — to doors, to dreams
To love, to life, to everything
Harlem lights to Brooklyn beats
It's more than noise — this city speaks
New York is for me, where I'm feeling free
The place, the pace, that I'm so proud to be
They say that if I can really make it here
Then I can definitely make it anywhere But if I make it here —
Then you bes' beware
'Cause I'll be shining brighter than Times Square
Can't fight the hail - when it all falls down
But still I rise - in this battleground
People change - and some forget
City stays lit - with no regret
Be who you wanna be
Need no crown to feel like royalty
Every block tells a story
And mine begins with glory
New York is the place to be
A rhythm, a roar, a legacy
You hold the keys — to doors, to dreams
To love, to life, to everything
Harlem lights to Brooklyn beats
It's more than noise — this city speaks
New York is for me, where I'm feeling free
The place, the pace, that I'm so proud to be
I saw my future in the subway lights
I found my strength in all those sleepless nights
When the city hurt, it healed me oh so right
