[Intro]
If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you, New York, New York, New York
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh (Start spreadin')
[Verse 1]
Better start spreadin' the news, yeah
They gon' be shinin' my shoes, yeah
Back then, I was number two, yeah
But, now they all act like they knew ya
How many times I gotta school ya?
But, you gotta bag all that, too, yeah
I'm livin' my life, how 'bout you, yeah?
It's finally my time, hallelujah, yeah (Hallelujah)
I pull up in the coupe (Coupe)
Lookin' for ways I zoom (Zoom)
They tell me that I got the juice (Juice)
Think it's 'bout time I do (Start spreadin')
Got me turnin' into somethin'
When I'm used to bein' nothin'
Right now, I know it's my year
[Chorus]
Make it there, I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you, New York, New York, oh, I
Listen (Yeah, yeah)
[Verse 2]
Oh, I already know 'bout you
What they say when I come through, yeah?
I already know 'bout you
Got the bass that bring that boom, oh
You know they hate me, too
Wish I could lie, but it's true
Just bein' honest
Lately, I can't 'scape livin' life by the dime
Oh, change, I know I'm on my way
Been do-or-die 'bout a hundred times
I just gotta get up and go
[Chorus]
If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you, New York, New York
[Outro]
I got something to prove, I got nothing to lose
Wipe the dirt off my shoes, climb a tower or two
Then they'll know New York, New York
