Go to New York, New York
Where THE LIGHTS LIGHT UP THE SHOW
Go to New York, New York
AND TAKE OVER THE WORLD
Shitters and pops
Merchants and cops
Lights in the dark from the rich moving blocks
Singing the night away
Dreaming the night away
Cosa nostra, you know that I'm made
I'm cars motors, power's my trade
Singing the night away
A legend's born, not just made
Go to New York, New York
Where THE LIGHTS LIGHT UP THE SHOW
Go to New York, New York
AND TAKE OVER THE WORLD
From the heart of medina shall be the brain
Trains run through the city like blood through the veins
Parked bottles of those white end kings
Red balls from police, talk that Wu Tang slang
Keep in check money, respect, and power
Scream the word is ours off the freedom tower
Seven days a week my city never sleeps
And on New Year's Eve we dance in the streets
Go to New York, New York
Where THE LIGHTS LIGHT UP THE SHOW
Go to New York, New York
AND TAKE OVER THE WORLD
Came from the hips, practice those lips
No 20 floors, no one else coming close
Singing the night away, scheming the night away
My Staten Island once I got paid
From Staten Island where I was made
Singing the night away, just hold a mic on the stage
Go to New York, New York
Where THE LIGHTS LIGHT UP THE SHOW
Go to New York
AND TAKE OVER THE WORLD
