Oh, hmm-m-m

From the Bronx straight down to the Battery.
Sing, oh-h, oh-h, oh-h-h-h
Oh-h, oh-h, oh-h-h-h

[Chris Classic:]
Straight from the city that never sleeps, y'all remember
We got pride that runs deep, think September
From the middle of Times Square to Harlem (Alana D: Times Square to Harlem) (Harlem)
To the Lower East Side
Not a problem, we ride (Alana D: We ride)
Taxicabs, buses and trains (uh)
Helicopters, to signatures for private planes (holla)
But whatever your situation seems to be (uh-huh)
Situated in New York seems home to me (that's right)
Stuck in the crosstown traffic (oh)
Turn on your radio, listen to Classic (uh-huh)
You got the subways crowded, got your earphones in
In your own little world, no strangers been (nah)
Nodding your head (word), people watching, but it's alright
Long days and long nights (word)
Whether 5 in the morning, or 5 in the evening
[Chris Classic and Alana D:]
It don't matter, we breathing (Chris Classic: Rock on)
[Chris Classic:]
Rock on
[Alana D:]
N Y, N Y C. (Y C)
From the Bronx straight down to the Battery. (Battery)
Sing (Chris Classic: Yeah!), oh-h, oh-h, oh-h-h-h (oh-h) (Chris Classic: Uh-huh)
Oh-h, oh-h, oh-h-h-h (Chris Classic: Oh)
N Y, N Y C. (Y C) (Chris Classic: New York City)
Where the side East Side gonna sing with me. (sing)
Yes (Chris Classic: Yeah), oh-h, oh-h, oh-h-h-h (ohhh) (Chris Classic: Uh-huh)
Oh-h, oh-h, oh-h-h-h
[Chris Classic:]
Uptown swagger with a Brooklyn flow (Alana D: Brooklyn flow)
But the mindset of Midtown does not know (Alana D: Does not know) (gotta learn)
You gotta admit it's the city of dreams
You gotta wake up to live them if you know what I mean, it's New York
[Alana D:]
I know I shine in the lights of the city (yea, yea, yea) (Chris Classic: Uh-huh)
Of the promise of a wonder of a mystery (oo ooo oo oo ooo) (Chris Classic: Uh)
Oh, anything you can dream, it can happen (yea, yea, yea) (Chris Classic: Brooklyn, Queens)
All the possi-bilities are everlasting (oo ooo oo oo ooo) (Chris Classic: Uptown)
Sing it wit' me, New York
[Chris Classic:]
New York, New York City, come on (Alana D: On)
New York, New York City, I'm home (Alana D: Home)
New York, New York City, it's on (on)
And you don't stop, that's why
[Alana D:]
N Y, N Y C. (Y C)
From the Bronx straight down to the Battery. (that's right)
Sing (Chris Classic: Uh!), oh-h, oh-h, oh-h-h-h (oh-h-h) (Chris Classic: Uh, uh)
Oh-h, oh-h, oh-h-h-h
N Y, N Y C. (N Y) (Chris Classic: New York City)
Where the side East Side gonna sing with me. (sing with me)

And you don't stop (and you don't stop), no, no
