You know I'm from New York
And they say we got a lot of attitude here
That we always got something to say
We think we're better than everybody
You know what?
You damn right
You can tell I'm too New York
By the way I move
How I walk
You can tell I'm too New York
By the things I say
How I talk
I don't know what to do
'Cause I guess I'm still too New York for you
Get out my way, give me some room
I was born with a silver spoon
In my mouth, there's no doubt
New York City's what it's all about
Leader in music, best in fashion
Broadway lights are a main attraction
Got a reason to be braggin
Got a dream, well make it happen
Got the best places you could eat
Might see Jay-Z walkin down the street
Still in the city that doesn't sleep
Come here once you won't wanna leave
See some things you won't believe
Still got more tricks up our sleeve
After all, this is New York, New York
You can tell I'm too New York
By the way I move
How I walk
You can tell I'm too New York
By the things I say
How I talk
I don't know what to do
'Cause I guess I'm still too New York for you
No matter the topic, New York got it
Took it, flipped it, made it hotter
Talkin' bout bars, nothing like ours
Maritime Hotel, drink with the stars
Talkin' bout clubs, got the best drugs
Dance all night to the hottest dubs
Talkin bout liquor, gave you vigor
Usin' Red Bull as a mixer
Talkin bout sports, take no shorts
Knicks and Giants need I say more
Hotels? Soho Grand
If you from outta town then you don't understand
Talkin' bout fame, started the game
The whole entire world knows your whole entire name
After all, this is New York, New York
You can tell I'm too New York
By the way I move
How I walk
You can tell I'm too New York
By the things I say
How I talk
I don't know what to do
'Cause I guess I'm still too New York for you
We get bored, we set trends
Ahead of y'all in every sense
You count us out, start to doubt
We bring you something underground
I'm truly proud where I'm from
Brooklyn, Queens, Harlem, WHAT
You can hate all you like
Make no mistake, you're behind
New York, New York
Hoo!
You can tell I'm too New York
By the way I move
How I walk
You can tell I'm too New York
By the things I say
How I talk
I don't know what to do
'Cause I guess I'm still too New York for you
You can tell I'm too New York
By the way I move
How I walk
You can tell I'm too New York
By the things I say
How I talk
I don't know what to do
'Cause I guess I'm still too New York for you
