　　Empire State of Mind歌詞lyrics《Empire State of Mind》是美國說唱大佬Jay-Z新專輯《The Blueprint 3》的第二只單曲，同R&B天后Alicia Keys合唱。

　　這首歌在9月8日通過iTune發行，不久專輯《The Blueprint 3》就登上了冠軍寶座，而這首歌也空降了單曲榜第50位，大概有超過40000次的下載量。而在不久前舉行的VMA上，Jay-Z作為壓軸演出嘉賓同Alicia Keys現場表演了這首歌，令人爭議的是說唱少女Lil MaMa在演出結束時登上了Jay-Z的舞臺，她的舉動也被媒體視為極不禮貌，這也是Kanye West之外的另一個話題。

　　這首《Empire State of Mind》采樣了The Moments的經典名曲《Love on a Two-Way Street》，融入了電子以及管弦的元素，歌詞內容主要為Jay-Z對其家鄉——紐約的贊頌，再次表達了King of New York對家鄉的熱愛。姓名：Shawn Carter

　　yeah

　　Yeah I'm out that Brooklyn.

　　Now I'm down in Tribeca.

　　Right next to DeNiro

　　But I'll be hood forever

　　I'm the new Sinatra

　　And since I made it here

　　I can make it anywhere

　　(Yeah they love me everywhere)

　　I used to cop in Harlem

　　All of my Dominicanos (Hey yo)

　　Right there off of Broadway

　　Brought me back to that McDonalds

　　Took it to my stash spot

　　560 State Street

　　Catch me in the kitchen like Simmons whipping Pastry

　　Cruising down 8th street

　　Off-white Lexus

　　Driving so slow

　　(but BK, it's from Texas!!)

　　Me I'm out that BedStuy

　　Home of that boy Biggie

　　now I live on Billboard

　　and I brought my boys with me

　　Say what up to Ta-ta

　　Still sipping Mai Tais

　　Sitting courtside

　　Knicks and Nets give me high-5

　　N**ga, I be Spiked out

　　I could trip a referee

　　...tell by my attitude that I'm MOST DEFINITELY FROM...

　　[Alicia Keys]

　　[Jay-Z]

　　Lights is blinding,

　　girls need blinders

　　so they can step out of bounds quick,

　　the side lines is blind with casualties,

　　who sip the lite casually, then gradually become worse,

　　don’t bite the apple Eve,

　　caught up in the in crowd,

　　now you're in-style,

　　and in the winter gets cold en vogue with your skin out,

　　the city of sin is a pity on a whim.

　　good girls gone bad, the city's filled with them,

　　Mommy took a bus trip and now she got her bust out,

　　everybody ride her, just like a bus route,

　　Hail Mary to the city your a Virgin,

　　and Jesus can’t save you life starts when the church ends,

　　came here for school, graduated to the high life,

　　ball players, rap stars, addicted to the limelight,

　　MDMA got you feeling like a champion,

　　the city never sleeps better slip you a Ambien

　　[Alicia Keys]

　　New York!!!!

　　Concrete jungle where dreams are made of,

　　There's nothing you can’t do,

　　Now you're in New York!!!

　　These streets will make you feel brand new,

　　the lights will inspire you,

　　Let's hear it for New York, New York, New York

　　[Alicia Keys]

　　One hand in the air for the big city,

　　Street lights, big dreams all looking pretty,

　　no place in the World that can compare,

　　Put your lighters in the air, everybody say yeaaahh

　　come on, come,

　　yeah,

　　New York!!!!

　　Concrete jungle where dreams are made of,

　　There's nothing you can’t do,
