You, were the best nights of my life You, got the light that always shines I miss the way that you move and the way I could hide When you take me to your eyes, like I'm standing in the sky I see your subway cars and your old graffiti I breathe your air when I land in another city I'll be that one that's got you printed on my bone Yeah, you're all I know Everywhere I go, I ain't changed at all Always on my own, I'm still New York You're the only one I'll ever know My concrete walls, I'm still New York I'm still New York I'm still New York I'm still New York I'm still New York Wanna drive down Riverside See the birds flying on the high line With the sidewalks burning, we pray for rain in July High, while the Yankees 99 And the Knicks is on a sold-out night When the curtains close and the Broadway streets are light I need your heart beat close, don't you ever leave me And I breathe your air when I land in another city And I'll be that one that's got you printed on my bone Yeah, you're all I know Everywhere I go, I ain't changed at all Always on my own, I'm still New York You're the only one I'll ever know My concrete walls, I'm still New York I'm still New York I'm still New York I'm still New York I'm still New York Beep beep, born and raised, I was God sent I used to hit them courts, ride in Prospect Take them long walks, all my time spent Just a kid with that empire state of mindset Keep flippin' off a blind date Dippin' from this old New York City's finest Said I've been up on my New York shit Walkin' out the block with my New York bitch I could never leave my city, ain't nothin' like it Even if I do though, I could never hide it Top down on the west side when I'm drivin' East side be the only side that I'm ridin' And I'm still New York I'm still New York I'm still New York And I'm still New York I'm still New York I'm still New York I'm still New York
