Me: IN NEW YOOOORRRK I'LL BECOME A WINTRY TOMATO THERES NOTHING YOU CAN'T DOOOO IN NEW YOOOOORRRRK THESE STREETS WILL MAKE YOU FEEL BRAND NEW STREET LIGHTS WILL EXSPIRE YOU!!!
Mom: what are you singing?
Me: this song!
Mom: those arent the words
Me: yeah they are! *waits for next chorus and makes her listen* see i told you
Is it just me or does the moon at 2:19 look like the Apple sign? And it's TriBeCa not Tribeca. Look it up. Not being a fucking jerkoff just saying the truth good song. Haters can go to fucking Hell!!!!!!!
Im like what is this song?!!? cause i loved it Of course (New York Is The Best!!!!!!) Anyways once i got the song name im like putting it on everyday till this day awesome song!
well THIS SONG IS TRYING TO SAY THAT EVERYONE IN NYC IS AN ANIMAL "CONCRETE JUNGLE" ARE YOU KIDDING ME...WELL JUST B/C THERE IS PPL THAT DONT KNOW HOW TO BEHAVE, THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT IS A JUNGLE. THEY ARE ANIMALS TOO IF WE ARE GOING THAT FAR SINCE THEY CAME FROM THIS JUNGLE TOO. MUAHHSZ
It is a catchy song and I like listening to it. I can understand what Alicia is saying and it makes sense. But, for the love of god, what is Jay-Z trying to say?
@PolForIgloo He's basically trying to say what the real city is like. He isn't sugar coating it but he isn't trying to make it sound like the worst place in the world. He's just saying how it is.
Why does he say "Jesus cant save you"? That has nothing to do with New York. Im starting to believe that jay z ia a satan worshipper like so many people say!
I was born and raised in manhattan NY in a luxury APT the builtmore towers apt mega CASH in that place but I moved just last month:( to FT myers FL :)
i tried singing jz's parts and it was hard cause he is rapping and he has a new sound all the time like when think on one of the words hes gonna go loww he goes high like wat the heck but i like your lyrics BYEEEE!!!!
this song is so true.those lights inspired my sister, so why shouldnt new yorks lights inspire me? love this song SO much. and new york, get ready for me.
@BSUMusic jajajaja fisrt tell to your F* goverment that they should make possible to the forains get into US, poor north americans, you are living in a falling country, and it is responsability of your goverment. I´d love to know NY i´d love to visit that city just a couple of days, but it seem that i have to be like somewhere president or something becouse is almost impossible to get inside US.
@tomviolenceisadream SHUT UP SWERIN K if u cant get in dont take it owt on other people i totally agree wiv u but i aint havin a go at people am a =)xxx

" Hail Mary to the city your a virgin & Jesus can't save you life starts wen the church ends came here for school graduated to the high life."
What does that have to do with New York.
FYI: Jesus Can & Already Did Save You, He Died For Your Sins. Why Is That So Hard To Understand?
