Empire State of Mind - Alicia Keys
Verse 1:
I'm standing here in new york city
Looking up at the empire state
Trying to make sense of it all
But it's just a game to them
Pre-Chorus:
But I know I'm gonna make it
Gonna take it higher
Gonna make my dreams come true
In this city of dreams
Chorus:
So I'll just keep on pushing
Trying to break through
Gonna make it to the top
In this empire state of mind
Verse 2:
Trying to make a change
For my family and my friends
But I know that they won't understand
That it's more than just a job
Pre-Chorus:
But I know I'm gonna make it
Gonna take it higher
Gonna make my dreams come true
In this city of dreams
Chorus:
So I'll just keep on pushing
Trying to break through
Gonna make it to the top
In this empire state of mind
Bridge:
When I look up, there's so many stars up above me
It reminds me that I can do anything at all
No matter where I am, I'm just trying to make a difference
So here I am, making my way up in the empire state of mind
Chorus:
So I'll just keep on pushing
Trying to break through
Gonna make it to the top
In this empire state of mind
Gonna make it in my dreams, gonna make it in my life
I'm gonna be alright, gonna make it alright, alright (x3)
