it's a true testament in
pride for that New York everything
walk fast talk fast
pride in New York everything

fast pace
lights never dying
city never sleeps
the sun is dawning
city's still crawling

it's cause New York is everything
business thriving
heart of the music
heart is beating
it's jiving

and that old school
blunt riding
pride in New York everything
upstate

down the Hudson river
misunderstood
gun slinger
and vendettas

ghettos and the wealthy
fifth avenue and tall buildings
pride for that New York everything...
