[kernelninja]

At 1:15, it's actually Big lights will inspire you, not The lights will inspire you, but awesome job anyway :)

[Tokimon11]

spiros11 lol well i'm not a jesus freak, lol i'm not even a christian i was just sayin haha

[cantonlouise1403]

this song = amazing!:D♥

[HowManyAsians]

Relgion is like a penis.

Its ok to have one, just please dont wip it out in public, and please dont try and force it down other peoples throuts

[batistaker123]

What's with all these Damn religious people on here? Look I don't care if you are religious but why can't you let Jay speak his mind? Jay-Z is against organized religion and if you adhere to a religion then no need to feel offended by it. Then there's there retarded "9/11 truth conspiracy theorist" at the top. smh....

[kickapoo957]

i beliive in jesus

[zarazaman19]

I feel proud to be a new yorker <3

[BasketballErryDay]

Guys, he wasn't really dissing jesus, i'm sure he has nothing against jesus. It's just a song, Get off his dick haha

[revelations171]

dude, why can't Jesus save me, again?

[MsEvelyn213]

I Love New York(:

[TTGiMazur]

New York, Concrete Jungle wet dreams tomatos!

Like if you hear it :D

[Isubbedcuzimcoo]

hahaha the only good song by him the rest suck,

[kanedonny]

3:06 "jesus cant save you, life starts when the church ends" jay z is illuminatti, look it up

[marcusthepimp9898]

@kanedonny DUDE SHUT THE FUCK UP ASSHOE.

[ymcagimpy]

Dude, I can't believe you actually dissed Jesus Christ publicly! Come on, Jay! You know better than to declare an all out war on God Himself! When you dis Jesus Christ, you dis Him, bro. Period. God doesn't take a dis on His Son lightly. Trust this - I will be praying for you. Don't take this as a threat by me - God has His way of doing things. I will be praying for Him to have mercy for you. I love ya, bro. I implore you to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Blessings.

[Jaxper20]

@ymcagimpy let's pray for him

[SlickLittleFuck]

@ymcagimpy ahaha dude religion is like your junk, you shouldn't wave it around in public.

[ThisAintTheHookUp]

@ymcagimpy Jay-z is the devil, that's why he did it.

[TheOriginalHamster]

@ymcagimpy Oh for fucks sake can you religious people just stop fucking expecting everyone to respect your childish fantasies. Jesus is as real as santa claus or the easter bunny.

[iLikeNarwhals]

@ymcagimpy Jesus does not exist. God does not exist. Grow up and fucking live in the real world, not your stupid fucking fantasy land. You are not contributing to a healthy society.

[lolllllllllify]

@ymcagimpy Live in the real fucking world you cant expect us to do your fantasies. Vilent games ftw!!! COD AND BF!!

[xtimrs]

@ymcagimpy Shouldn't God know the future, and therefore if he was going to be upset with Jay-Z he'd have already made his life Job-shitty? think, man. Think.

[HowManyAsians]

@ymcagimpy lol you cant proove whether god or jesus was even real. Thats like trying to prove hagwarts and harry potter was real by using the harry potter books.

[Tokimon11]

Hey J-Z, I personally love rap and this song but i don't think you should b dissing Jesus cause there are more people that love god than the people than love rap just sayin!

[spiros11386]

@Tokimon11 it's probably more important to voice your opinion rather than please Jesus nerds, just sayin! Oh and he's a millionaire married to Beyonce, probably not aiming to please Jesus freaks, again, just sayin!

[Cherrybabe4eva]

when he says but bk is from Texas he means Beyonce Knowels i just got that

[OneTreeHill0930]

only jay z song i like they rest of his crap sucks.

[thundersk8er101]

[1988wallen]

[411dedrick]

@1988wallen he said IF Jesus cant save lives

[sicile56]

I cant wait to go to new york and then listen to this song it should feel good

=P =)

[beowulf811]

@kr12365 Comment stealed...

[mmeellii12]

i love this song but the only line i hate is when he says "life starts when the church ends"

[MultiNerdsRock]

This makes me cry, because when 911 happened the terrorist thought that they have had seperated us but they din’t they did the exact opposite so sometimes i think “Hey! maybe it was a good thing that the twin towers crashed...” because it just brought us even more together and secure...and now it most likely never going to happen again.  AND to all you terrorist out there! it’s useless to try to destroy the U.S. because if you haven’t noticed it’s called the *UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!*

[Jsyk10]

911 street lights big city all lookin pretty =D thank u first responders R.I.P i love you aunt maggie, uncle nick and baby JJ

[Tboukno1]

nothn like lettn the ghetto sing chorus in your music

[iLovebirds13]

who cares what jz writes in his lyrics..its just a song

[marineboy090]

who is Jay Z to say crap about religion and spirituality? he's talking about how he's "gangsta." since when did he start getting all theological? yo, go ahead and rap about your girls and money, but leave my God outa it.

[15Aalexis1995]

jesus can't save you life starts when the church ends?

[punkprincess8524]

This songs so retarted.

[voss297]

That's messed up, Jay-Z!

[TX512Austin]

Fuck Jay-Z!!!! Killumianti

[misscrazycrackers]

im so fasinated with new york

[ife126]

Go New Yorkers! Im a Queens gal tho but I dnt live there I was only born there! Luv this song. Woo hoo Leesh!

[wdj1200]

"Jesus can't save you"

He is so misguided.

[HowManyAsians]

@wdj1200 you are so close minded

[Smushize]

Jay-z is illuminati. Fuck him.

[agam97hollywoodstar]

and hope you know the church int ever unna end cuz the real stuff never ends !!!!!!!!!!

[agam97hollywoodstar]

@3:05 jayz dissed my GOD Jesus Christ!!!! i aint ever listening to you again!!! dont ever diss my GOD again k!! :@

[Magmaric]

θμμμμμμμ? ι δον'τ ρεαλλυ λικε τηισ σονγ σορρυ. :(

[MrFabe012]

3:06 "jesus cant save you life starts when church ends" people are taking this verse wrong i think what he means is that you cant just pray to jesus bcus u dont have money or you want something for urself but when everything is fine jesus doesnt fo through their minds once,thats what i think he meant,hope i got someone out of doubt :)

[chongkaishek]

Jew York

[fkthewaat]

@chongkaishek go fuck yourself

[KoolKid574CP]

@fkthewaat someones mad

[KoolKid574CP]

@fkthewaat no you are. its simple. you told chong to go fuck himself. lol.

[fkthewaat]

This song reminds me of the wtc towers. No matter what happens, new york will always be a beautiful city.

[punkprincess8524]

@KoolKid574CP Hahaha yuh make mee laugh<3

[KoolKid574CP]

@punkprincess8524 Yeah I tend to do that.

[punkprincess8524]

@KoolKid574CP haha,good to knoww?

[fkthewaat]

@chongkaishek your dad because he found out i fucked your mom :P. Naaah dont take it seriouslty

[lycanlove333]

QUIT ABOUT THE 9/11 IT MAKES ME SOO SAD MAN STOP!!!!!!!!!!!



[CrazyFoo501]

Good song but not one to use in a 9/11 tribute I mean there talk of drug gangs and hookers, and just because of choir they decide it should be used for a 9/11 tribute? Really? I think it's a little disrespectful to those that died and damn did they missed the point of the song. What else are they going to use Blood Nation by Lil Wayne?

[CrazyFoo501]

@CrazyFoo501 I meant Blood Nation by the Game it just features Lil Wayne

[FeelinTheNerve]

i love the way you lot just heard him say "Haily Mary to the city your a virgin, and Jesus can't save you life starts when the church ends"... what a fucking dickhead trying to corrupt the people

[JSasRays]

did he seriously just rhyme marley with marley... fail

[imbobbyjoe1]

In Newww Yorrkk, concrete jungle wet dream tomatoe.

[SuperVenusStar]

This song makes me proud to be a New Yorker :D

[6868musiclover]

@SuperVenusStar hell yaah new york rocks!

[Willanhanyard]

Ya, I don't know how terrorists can be your "friends"

[AmeliiMason]

Ever since I was little, ive always wanted to go to NYC.

When i close my eyes, i can almost imagine im there.

Then i open my eyes, i see the empty fields of Kentucky and i get sad.

*opens eyes* Awwww....sadness

*closes* much better!!!

[Missangelandashley]

[Lolcsek]

[ReggieWriteous]

"You're welcome OG, I mad you hot n***a"

[Mauigirl300]

[MakunochiHajime]

What does jay-z says at 1:18? "You're welcome--" what does he say next?

[kittyzpwn303]

[MakunochiHajime]

[jacobygreenwood]

LOL what's wrong with all the fucking yankees talking shit about Jay-Z (he made the song, assholes) and Bush and Osama (you are mistaking the real "terrorist").

Anyway, lovely song, it made me shear a tear for real, R.I.P all the people who lost they'r lives 10 years ago and peace to all they'r families.
