歌词
[Chorus]Brooklyn
Bronx, Queens and Staten
From the battery
To the top of Manhattan
Asian
Middle Eastern and Latin
Black, white
New York you make it happen
Brownstones, water towers, trees, skyscrapers
Writers, prize fighters, and
Wall Street traders
We come together on the subway cars
Diversity unified, whoever you are
Uh, we doing fine on the
One and Nine line
On the L we're doing swell
On the number ten bus we fight and fuss
Because we're thorough in the boroughs
And that's a must
I remember when the
Deuce was all porno flicks
Running home after school to play pix
At lunch
I'd go to blimpies down on
Montague Street
And hit the Fulton Street Mall
For the sneakers on my feet
Dear New York,
I hope you're doing well
I know a lot's happen and you've been through hell
So, we give thanks for providing a home
Through your gates at
Ellis Island we passed in droves
[Chorus]
The L.I.E.
The B.Q.E.
Hippies at the band shell with the LSD
Get my BVD's from VIM
You know I'm repping Manhattan
The best I can
Stopped off at Bleeker Bob's
Got thrown out
Sneaking' in at 4 AM
After going out
They didn't rob me in the park at
Dianna Ross
But everybody started looting
When the lights went off
From the South
South Bronx on out to
Queens Bridge
From Hollis Queens
Right down to Bay Ridge
From Castle Hill to the
Lower East Side
From 1010 WINS to
Live At Five
Dear New York
This is a love letter
To you and how you brought us together
We can't say enough about all you do
Because in the city we ourselves and electric too
[Chorus]
Shout out to
South Bronx where my mom hails from
Right next to High Bridge across from Harlem
To the Grand Concourse where my mom and dad met
Before they moved on down to the
Upper West
I see you're still strong after all that's gone on
Lifelong we dedicate this song
Just a little something to show some respect
To the city that blends and mends and tests
Since 911, we're still living
And loving life we've been given
Ain't nothing going to take that away from us
Were looking pretty and gritty
Because in the city we trust
Dear New York
I know a lot has changed
Two towers down but you're still in the game
Home to many rejecting no one
Accepting peoples of all places, wherever they from
[Chorus]X2
THE END
