Lyrics
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 We're doing fine on the one and nine line On the l we're doin' swell On the number ten bus we fight and fuss 'Cause we're thorough in the boroughs and that's a must I remember when the duece was all porno flicks Running home after school to play pix * 1 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
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
The l.i.e. the b.q.e Hippies at the band shell with the l.s.d Get my bvd's from vim You know I'm reppin' manhattan the best I can Stopped off at bleeker bob's got thrown out Sneakin' in at 4:00 am after going out You didn't rob me in the park at dianna ross But everybody started looting when the light 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 'Cause in the city were ourselves and electric too
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
Shout out the 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 Life long 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 livin' And lovin' life we've been given Ain't nothing gonna take that away from us Were lookin' pretty and gritty 'cause in the city we trust Dear new york I know a lot has changed 2 towers down but you're still in the game Home to many rejecting no one Accepting peoples of all places, wherever they're from
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
