and in the (16)____________ (17)________ cold en vogue with your skin out,
the city of sin is a pity on a whim,
good (18)__________ gone bad, the cities filled with them,
Mommy (19)________ a bus (20)________ and now she got her bust out,
everybody ride her, just like a bus route,
Hail Mary to the city (21)________ a Virgin,
and Jesus can’t save you life (22)____________ when the church ends,
came (23)________ for school, graduated to the (24)________ 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

In New York,
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of,
Theres nothing you can’t do,
Now you’re in New York,

the lights will inspire you,
lets here it for New York, New York, New York

Put your lighters in the air, everybody say yeaaahh
