[00:00.000] 作词 : Bators, Beastie Boys, Blitz ...
[00:35.870] [Chorus]Brooklyn
[00:36.940] Bronx, Queens and Staten
[00:38.490] From the battery
[00:39.680] To the top of Manhattan
[00:41.270] Asian
[00:42.110] Middle Eastern and Latin
[00:43.700] Black, white
[00:44.710] New York you make it happen
[00:46.450] Brownstones, water towers, trees, skyscrapers
[00:48.840] Writers, prize fighters, and
[00:50.610] Wall Street traders
[00:51.440] We come together on the subway cars
[00:53.700] Diversity unified, whoever you are
[00:56.300] Uh, we doing fine on the
[00:58.100] One and Nine line
[00:59.400] On the L we're doing swell
[01:01.450] On the number ten bus we fight and fuss
[01:03.900] Because we're thorough in the boroughs
[01:05.500] And that's a must
[01:06.690] I remember when the
[01:07.490] Deuce was all porno flicks
[01:09.080] Running home after school to play pix
[01:11.650] At lunch
[01:12.220] I'd go to blimpies down on
[01:13.540] Montague Street
[01:14.500] And hit the Fulton Street Mall
[01:15.570] For the sneakers on my feet
[01:16.840] Dear New York,
[01:18.110] I hope you're doing well
[01:19.430] I know a lot's happen and you've been through hell
[01:21.920] So, we give thanks for providing a home
[01:24.270] Through your gates at
[01:25.420] Ellis Island we passed in droves
[01:27.250] [Chorus]
[01:37.760] The L.I.E.
[01:38.680] The B.Q.E.
[01:39.870] Hippies at the band shell with the LSD
[01:42.410] Get my BVD's from VIM
[01:44.800] You know I'm repping Manhattan
[01:46.220] The best I can
[01:47.520] Stopped off at Bleeker Bob's
[01:48.980] Got thrown out
[01:50.180] Sneaking' in at 4 AM
[01:51.540] After going out
[01:52.780] They didn't rob me in the park at
[01:54.220] Dianna Ross
[01:55.350] But everybody started looting
[01:56.640] When the lights went off
[01:57.980] From the South
[01:58.790] South Bronx on out to
[01:59.750] Queens Bridge
[02:00.810] From Hollis Queens
[02:01.790] Right down to Bay Ridge
[02:02.890] From Castle Hill to the
[02:04.420] Lower East Side
[02:05.690] From 1010 WINS to
[02:06.970] Live At Five
[02:08.300] Dear New York
[02:09.330] This is a love letter
[02:10.570] To you and how you brought us together
[02:13.230] We can't say enough about all you do
[02:15.560] Because in the city we ourselves and electric too
[02:18.190] [Chorus]
[02:48.820] Shout out to
[02:49.970] South Bronx where my mom hails from
[02:51.660] Right next to High Bridge across from Harlem
[02:54.350] To the Grand Concourse where my mom and dad met
[02:56.730] Before they moved on down to the
[02:58.500] Upper West
[02:59.130] I see you're still strong after all that's gone on
[03:01.810] Lifelong we dedicate this song
[03:04.690] Just a little something to show some respect
[03:06.960] To the city that blends and mends and tests
[03:09.570] Since 911, we're still living
[03:12.210] And loving life we've been given
[03:14.920] Ain't nothing going to take that away from us
[03:16.960] Were looking pretty and gritty
[03:18.460] Because in the city we trust
[03:19.910] Dear New York
[03:21.140] I know a lot has changed
[03:22.360] Two towers down but you're still in the game
[03:24.930] Home to many rejecting no one
[03:27.440] Accepting peoples of all places, wherever they from
[03:30.650] [Chorus]X2
[04:16.920] THE END
