[Verse] There's a world of wonder in New York City, From Broadway lights to neighborhoods gritty. Yellow cabs and crowded lines, Those packed subway cars and blinking signs. [Verse 2] Winter winds bite down to the bone, Summer heat feels so far from home. Empire State, to Ellis Island’s shore, A lifetime ain’t enough to see it all, that’s for sure. [Chorus] Big city blues, in those New York nights, Where dreams come true under concrete lights. From trendy streets to the avenues wild, Inside a hustle that never gets mild. [Verse 3] Safety’s a gamble on these crowded streets, Some find glory, others defeat. One in twenty-six might taste crime’s grip, But we keep on marching, with a fearless lip. [Bridge] Red lights flash with traffic jams, Drivers cursing under their breath in a scam. Hundred twenty hours a year in that queue, Just tryin’ to get through, like me and you. [Chorus] Big city blues, in those New York nights, Where dreams come true under concrete lights. From trendy streets to the avenues wild, Inside a hustle that never gets mild.
