  • 作词 : Bators, Beastie Boys, Blitz ...
    [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
