[Verse 1: Jay-Z] Yeah, I’m out that subway, now I’m stuck in traffic Right next to a dude who’s blasting music frantic I’m the new Sinatra, but no one cares here I can make it anywhere, but I’ll probably disappear I used to wait for cabs, now I just Uber home ‘Bout to order pizza, but it’s cold as stone Took it to my food app, got a $20 tip Now I’m waitin’ for delivery, hopin' it don't slip Cruisin’ down 8th Ave, dodging jaywalkers Driving so slow, but they’re all honkin' louder Me, I'm out that Hell’s Kitchen, crowds so thick Can't even walk a block, tryna move quick Say what's up to the rats, still chillin' by the tracks Sittin' on the stoop, lookin’ for a break from the cracks Man, I be 'bout to snap, trip on a coffee spill Tell by my attitude that I’m most definitely ill... [Chorus: Alicia Keys] New York, smelly streets where dreams get stuck in There's nothing you can do Now you're in New York These crowds will make you feel so blue Long lines will inspire you Let’s hear it for New York, New York, New York [Verse 2: Jay-Z] Catch me at the bodega, with a sandwich, no shame Said I’d get a bagel, but it’s not the same You should know I hate delays, but the train’s still late With a million tourists, man, I’m feelin’ so irate Welcome to the chaos, horns honk around the block Street vendors sellin' socks, and the pizza's on the clock Yellow cab, gypsy cab, nobody lookin’ back For foreigners it’s wild, they ain't used to this attack Eight million ways, to lose your mind in this town The city’s upside down, no one’s lookin’ around Me, I got a headache, but I’ll keep movin’ If this was paradise, well, it’s broken and bruisin’ The cab’s too full, can’t find a seat Guess I’m walkin' ‘cause the buses ain’t on repeat Statue of Liberty, and it's mostly tourists Long lines for tickets, they ain't ever the quickest

(Verse 1) She, a girl with a heart so bright Caught in her love, lost in dreams at night But that boy, with a mask on his face His lies were spinning all over the place (Chorus) She, oh moon of sorrow's sky Her heart was played with, in sweet lies Don’t hide her tears, let them flow free Her love was just a game, not meant to be (Verse 2) He spoke of stars, of skies so wide But behind his words, darkness would hide A cold heart, with plans so vile Under the moon, he played her for a while (Chorus) She, oh moon of sorrow's sky Her heart was played with, in sweet lies Don’t hide her tears, let them flow free Her love was just a game, not meant to be (Bridge) Now that the truth is shining clear She'll rise without fear The moon shines strong with love anew That boy stays trapped in his own view (Final Chorus) She, now she's the moon of freedom Eyes full of light, no more to be beaten Her old tears will dry away True love is coming, brighter than day (Outro) She, no longer a pawn in the game She’s built herself anew, no shame Her heart, full of hope and dreams The moon in her nights, forever beam

(Verse 1) Woke up in the morning, got the hustle on my mind, Chasing dreams, making moves, leaving doubts behind. From the concrete jungle, where the dreams survive, In the city that never sleeps, we thrive and rise. (Chorus) We grind all night, until the dawn breaks, Hustlin' hard, yeah, we don’t take breaks. Life's a beat, we flow with the sound, In this hip hop world, we're glory-bound. (Verse 2) Rhymes like a river, flowin' so deep, In the rhythm of life, ain't no time for sleep. From the street corners to the bright limelight, We write our story, in the dark and the light. (Chorus) We grind all night, until the dawn breaks, Hustlin' hard, yeah, we don’t take breaks. Life's a beat, we flow with the sound, In this hip hop world, we're glory-bound. (Bridge) With every step, we climb a little higher, Fuelin' our dreams with an unending fire. This is our anthem, our battle cry, Hip hop is the wings that make us fly. (Chorus) We grind all night, until the dawn breaks, Hustlin' hard, yeah, we don’t take breaks. Life's a beat, we flow with the sound, In this hip hop world, we're glory-bound.

Verse 1 Ducy and Jimmy walking in the rain, Both got love but they’re causing some pain. Hearts divided, it’s a crazy scene, Loving other chicks but still a dream. Pre-Chorus Oh, the night gets wild, They’re dancing free, no denial. But in their hearts, there’s a fire, Two souls lost in desire. Chorus Oh baby, baby, uh-huh, baby, baby, Ducy’s got the moves, yeah, she drives ‘em crazy. Oh baby, baby, uh-huh, baby, baby, Jimmy’s got a love but he’s still a maybe. Verse 2 Under the neon, they’re out in the street, Loving other chicks but they still can’t compete. Ducy’s smile, yeah, it’s stealing the night, Jimmy’s charm, oh, it’s out of sight. Bridge They’re on a ride, no slowing down, Hearts in the air, spinning around. But in the end, they both gotta see, Love ain’t easy, baby, not for free. Chorus Oh baby, baby, uh-huh, baby, baby, Ducy’s got the moves, yeah, she drives ‘em crazy. Oh baby, baby, uh-huh, baby, baby, Jimmy’s got a love but he’s still a maybe. Outro Ducy and Jimmy, under the stars, Loving other chicks, but they’ve come so far. Oh baby, baby, uh-huh, baby, baby, A love so wild, it’s a little bit hazy.
Late nights got me lost in the shadows, Echoes of your love whisper through the meadows. Used to be a flame, now it's just a flicker, Can't find my way, the clock's moving quicker.
