Empire State of Mind歌词

2016-11-16

Empire State of Mind歌词lyrics《Empire State of Mind》是美国说唱大佬Jay-Z新专辑《The Blueprint 3》的第二只单曲,同R&B天后Alicia Keys合唱。

这首歌在9月8日通过iTune发行,不久专辑《The Blueprint 3》就登上了冠军宝座,而这首歌也空降了单曲榜第50位,大概有超过40000次的下载量。而在不久前举行的VMA上,Jay-Z作为压轴演出嘉宾同Alicia Keys现场表演了这首歌,令人争议的是说唱少女Lil MaMa在演出结束时登上了Jay-Z的舞台,她的举动也被媒体视为极不礼貌,这也是Kanye West之外的另一个话题。

这首《Empire State of Mind》采样了The Moments的经典名曲《Love on a Two-Way Street》,融入了电子以及管弦的元素,歌词内容主要为Jay-Z对其家乡——纽约的赞颂,再次表达了King of New York对家乡的热爱。姓名:Shawn Carter

yeah

Yeah I'm out that Brooklyn.

Now I'm down in Tribeca.

Right next to DeNiro

But I'll be hood forever

I'm the new Sinatra

And since I made it here

I can make it anywhere

(Yeah they love me everywhere)

I used to cop in Harlem

All of my Dominicanos (Hey yo)

Right there off of Broadway

Brought me back to that McDonalds

Took it to my stash spot

560 State Street

Catch me in the kitchen like Simmons whipping Pastry

Cruising down 8th street

Off-white Lexus

Driving so slow

(but BK, it's from Texas!!)

Me I'm out that BedStuy

Home of that boy Biggie

now I live on Billboard

and I brought my boys with me

Say what up to Ta-ta

Still sipping Mai Tais

Sitting courtside

Knicks and Nets give me high-5

N**ga, I be Spiked out

I could trip a referee

...tell by my attitude that I'm MOST DEFINITELY FROM...

[Alicia Keys]

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,

the lights will inspire you,

Let's hear it for New York, New York, New York

[Jay-Z]

I made you hot n-gga,

Catch me at the X with OG at a Yankee game,

sh-t I made the Yankee hat more famous than a Yankee can,

you should know I bleed Blue, but I ain't a crip tho,

but I got a gang of n-ggas walking with my clique though,

welcome to the melting pot,

corners where we selling rocks,

Afrika bambaataa sh-t,

home of the hip hop,

yellow cab, gypsy cab, dollar cab, holla back,

for foreigners it ain't fitted act like they forgot how to act,

8 million stories out there and they're naked,

city it's a pity half of y’all won’t make it,

me I gotta plug a special and I got it made,

If Jeezy's payin LeBron, I’m paying Dwayne Wade,

3 dice cee-lo

3 card marley,

Labor Day parade, rest in peace Bob Marley,

Statue of Liberty, long live the World Trade,

long live the king yo,

I’m from the Empire State thats…

[Alicia Keys]

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,

the lights will inspire you,

Let's hear it for New York, New York, New York

Welcome to the bright light..

[Jay-Z]

Lights is blinding,

girls need blinders

so they can step out of bounds quick,

the side lines is blind with casualties,

who sip the lite casually, then gradually become worse,

don’t bite the apple Eve,

caught up in the in crowd,

now you're in-style,

and in the winter gets cold en vogue with your skin out,

the city of sin is a pity on a whim.

good girls gone bad, the city's filled with them,

Mommy took a bus trip and now she got her bust out,

everybody ride her, just like a bus route,

Hail Mary to the city your a Virgin,

and Jesus can’t save you life starts when the church ends,

came here for school, graduated to the high life,

ball players, rap stars, addicted to the limelight,

MDMA got you feeling like a champion,

the city never sleeps better slip you a Ambien

[Alicia Keys]

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,

the lights will inspire you,

Let's hear it for New York, New York, New York

[Alicia Keys]

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 yeaaahh

come on, come,

yeah,

[Alicia Keys]

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,

the lights will inspire you,

Let's hear it for New York, New York, New York
