Bronx, Queens and 
StatenFrom the 
Battery to the top of 
ManhattanAsian, 
Middle Eastern and 
LatinBlack, white, 
New York you make it happen[Verse 1]
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 
PixAt 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][Verse 2]

Manhattan the best 
I canStopped 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

WINS to Live 
At FiveDear 
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][Verse 3]
Shout out to 
South Bronx where my mom hails from
Right next to 
High Bridge across from 
HarlemTo 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]
