Empire State of Mind with lyrics -- Jay-Z ft. Alicia Keys

[ASR40043]

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i love NY

[MrIronNuts]

"Hail Mary to the city you're a virgin and Jesus can't save you, life starts when the church ends" I would say he is definitley Anti-Christ...

[dotdraw]

seems to be an anti-christ

[CopayCat]

"Hail Mary to the city you're a virgin and Jesus can't save you, life starts when the church ends" that part just makes me think...

[Itbeh]

@CopayCat i know its trippy

[y2e1281]

@CopayCat: Makes You Think ? Seriously He's Not Speaking

For God He Is Aginst God, They Worship The Devil.

Beyonce, JayZ, Rihana & Kanye. Look 4 The Triangle Sign

They Do With Their Hands Luminati

[MsNoWay1]

@y2e1281 Just because something is different from your view doesn't mean it can't make you think. To each his/her own. Technically you worship "God" so maybe the devil is his God...who knows- it's not my business, but it can still make you think... I AM NOT SAYING he's right or wrong so don't go crazy on me.

[gkchamp1]

[bmwgoeszoom]

[eveslmatrix]

abraham worte the old testement. yeah i know that the planets are in orbit. i really dont see your point? i guess i cant argue with ignorance! o well, i tried. and are you insane???? the jewish population does not beleive that your savior is there savior and by the way the people that hung jesus on the cross, in the bible, were people of jewish religion!!! ps whats an orbital??

[eveslmatrix]

abraham worte the old testement. yeah i know that the planets are in orbit. i really dont see your point? i guess i cant argue with ignorance! o well, i tried. and are you insane???? the jewish population does not beleive that your savior is there savior and by the way the people that hung jesus on the cross, in the bible, were people of jewish religion!!!

[eveslmatrix]

abraham worte the old testement. yeah i know that the planets are in orbit. i really dont see your point? i guess i cant argue with ignorance! o well, i tried

[Scarlet3041]

Love da backround NICE JOB!!!!

[xkosxforever]

fuck jay z man i grow up loving his music and wth he saying life starts when the church ends and jesus cant save you man he is a demon worshiper im sry i did like this song and him but not after i seen that

[bmwgoeszoom]

@xkosxforever I think he was talking about those people who think that Jesus is going to always save you and is always going to help you and if all you do in life is just accept him you will be alright. I think he was trying to say you got to do more than just pray if you want things to get better. That is just my interpretation of that line.

[MsPuppyluver1]

OMG!! how do u think all the things around u got there!!!! who the hell is Quran!?!? im pretty sure its just an idol that sits there and does nothing!!!

[ghosthalo4]

@MsPuppyluver1 the Qur'an is the Muslim bible

[DidYourMomOSaurus]

i don't like rap

and i can't stand the word n*gga or n*gger

but i love this song

but i love this song

but i love this song

[nyrkr4]

This is true genuine garbage. A total rip off of the classic Billy Joel song - when the standard for genuine talent is low this is the type of garbage that will pass for talent - I can't even listen to this for more that 10-15 seconds before feeling nauseas, more that 30 secs & I get heaves – how anyone can listen to this crap is just bewildering.

[DidYourMomOSaurus]

@nyrkr4 it's funny because he took more time writing the hate comment then he did actually watching the video and listening to the song

[vpgnomegirl]

@nyrkr4 BITCH

[novembercgc]

I lovee thiss!

[hellokittymethlab]

YOU SATANINC FUCKER, KILLUMINATI!!!

[ChaosLegion117]

You Illuminati and Jesus freaks need to calm down and get off the internet. I know you guys completely believe in this shit, but there is NO proof of it, just stupid observations that are molded to fit into what you think. The Bible is just a 2,000 year old collection of superstition and children stories, and it has almost, if not no, truth value to it. If you think the invisible man in the sky is gonna save you for BLINDLY believing in him, then you are mistaken. You are just wasting your life.

[XOXOsambamfff]

@ChaosLegion117 so if you don't believe in God, then what DO you believe in?

[eveslmatrix]

@XOXOsambamfff i am as he apears to be an atheist. you see religion is a facade, a magnet for peoples hopes and dreams i t gives people a reason to go on. i will agree with that. but why would you hope and dream of a heavenly being that probaly, most likely does not exist? there is TONS of proof that there is NO god christian,islam,jewish, hindu, buddist, jainist and so on where is the proof of a god let alone a heanly being? when you find, good solid proof ill listen.

[XOXOsambamfff]

@eveslmatrix believing in something is better than believing in nothing at all. there is TONS of proof that there is a God. the Bible, and even atheist scientists say that if the earth wasnt in its exact place, even by a millimeter, that it would have fallen out of the universe. your telling me that happened by, chance? i dont think so.

[eveslmatrix]

@XOXOsambamfff ok first off ABRAHAM WROTE THE BIBLE!!!! second of all fallen out of the universe??? are you insane the universe is infinite and ever expanding. so your telling me that it would have fallen out of the universe that has no end has no top or bottom?? wow. any one can write a book and by the way abraham was jewish and if your a christian as i asume you are( if your jewish im very sorry!) that wouldnt make sense because one of the foundations of judeisum is THERE IS NO SAVIOR!!!!

[ghosthalo4]

@eveslmatrix Jesus was a Jew too..

[XOXOsambamfff]

@eveslmatrix Ok, first off, I don't know what planet you live on, but Abraham did not write the Bible. Many, many, many, different people wrote the Bible. Second of all, do you think the planets just float? no. there in an orbital. third off, Jesus was a jew too. & you might think there isn't a Savior, but to many people, there is only one Savior. & that's Jesus Christ.

[eveslmatrix]

@XOXOsambamfff its called the goldy locks zone and every solar system has one its just sometimes there isnt a planet in it

[bmwgoeszoom]

@XOXOsambamfff That proves nothing, it could of easily of happened by chance because we are probably not the only planet that has life on it

[meer8]

@bmwgoeszoom You can't say we are probably not the only planet that has life on it, when science doesn't know how life began here.

[bmwgoeszoom]

@meer8 Yeah but we really can't say that we are the only planet to have life, because if earth could be in the right spot why couldn't others. There has to be tons of them out there and it would seem very arrogant in my opinion to think that we are the only planet in the right spot, although it is possible it just doesn't seem likely.

[meer8]

@bmwgoeszoom By saying "right spot" I assume you mean the right conditions to generate life. That just proves my point. Science doesn't know what caused life to begin here, so it's impossible to say that another planet is in the right spot.

[bmwgoeszoom]

@meer8 Yeah but we can't say there isn't one. Just because we haven't found one yet doesn't mean there isn't one. I just think that it is more likely that there is another one, I'm not saying that we definitely aren't the only ones.

[RockLover1203]

@eveslmatrix so i guees u think we came from aliens right? and another thing why r u talking about religion on a song that is not even a gospal song comment on those not this!

[MsPuppyluver1]

there is proof, how do u think all the things around u got here??, think about it, this is not rocket science

[gabriela16176]

love the pics

[MrMrbab22]

pause 3:07

[BetiucTomi]

i don't like how he talks about jesus

[bookish01]

Great song for a great city. I love New York and visit ever few years. It's always new- New York.

[oracionaDiosable]

illuminati all over this song jesus is coming soon prepare with ur oil for your lamps for the king is coming mock, laugh, make fun of this but at the end the whole world will see his glory

[Haystackz123]

@oracionaDiosable Yea this song is illuminati but Jesus aint God foo and he aint a king. He a prophet get ur shit straight patna. Only God can save humans not a man.

[Cheesepufforu]

I always wondered what it would bbe like to live in a city that people actually care about. i live in a small town on the outskirts of cleveland. i feel unloved. :(

[monilovescookies9997]

This Is A Really Good Song,, My Class Signs This The Boys Do The Rapping The Girls Do The Singing We Sound Pretty Good... Its A Good Song To Sing To And Has A Very Catchy Tune :D

[Jess1792231]

Jonathan, My friend Alexis and Robert and Mrs. Ranfone & my friend Joe is going to new york during christmas break. i love this song.

[Nisan66]

LIvin in Utah (yea i know but trust me I'm not mormon) I remember me and my friends singing this song last summer and thinking how good it would be to live in such a popular city that people actually care about.

[eveslmatrix]

beautiful pics

[eveslmatrix]

@AvtartheWhiteRapper oh yeah totally agree man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AvtartheWhiteRapper]

I love dis song. Born and raised in Long Island. nd dis song came way before california gurls @TheILOVEdork. Jay-Z tore dis shit up thumps up if u agree Jay-z da bes rapper from Ny

[senorme1]

@AvtartheWhiteRapper dude stop tryin to act cool ur frm new york wow, nd manhattan is way better than long island dude

[MrSmoothchoco]

@AvtartheWhiteRapper u 4got about NAS....-_- >thats< one of tha best rappers from NY......

[liruzZz]

new york! kangkong kangkong garlic tomato. theres nothing you cant do.... xDD

[MrCarriepoop]

03:05 "and Jesus cant save you, life starts when the church ends" thats messed up..

[dimitryx005]

I Love this Song !!

[TheILOVEdork]

i personlay think this song was an answer for california girlz or the other way around thumbs up if u agree

[wdj1200]

@TheILOVEdork

You got it wrong. "California Gurls" was an answer to this.

[AimForTheH3ad]

"Jesus can't save you, life starts when the church ends" :S

that's what I don't get..

I don't mean to spam at all, but I find it interesting.

check out this video /watch?v=0dApiC2-l04&feature=r­elated

where some guy is talking about Jay saying that phrase

[lauriengary]

I just went on a day trip to manhatten new york for the first time it was beautiful

[omaly95]

mdma= kills turtles

[RobieldaBeast247]

Check 3:03 when he says & jESUS CANT SAVE U, LIFE STARTS WHEN THE CHURCH ENDS,,,,,, DAMN SHAME... GOOD SONG BAD LYRICS AT DA END

[ABookwormAndProud]

@RobieldaBeast247 That's not preaching.

It represents the misery of the poor in context of the story of a poor New York prostitute. It's a powerful line, but it doesn't actually preach anything. The woman's life had fallen apart and she doesn't even believe that divine intervention can save her now.

[eveslmatrix]

@RobieldaBeast247 NUH UH THIS SONG IS GREAT THROUGH AND THROUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[123bluekiss]

i love this video. i miss newyork so much

[Haystackz123]

@blaqmagik1999 Its def illuminati but Jesus cannot save u!He was a prophet and he was sent by God to guide the righteous ones to paradise. If u put ur faith in the Quran than thas when u are saved. But yea this song is hella illuminati brah

[blaqmagik1999]

And Jesus Can't save you? Life starts when the church ends? Ya'll don't see anything wrong with that? Wake UP!

[armadillon011]
