Empire State of Mind

[Intro: Maleah Joi Moon]
Ooh, New York
(They play these notes, and they play these notes, haha, and I play my notes)
Ooh, New York
(And from these basics, our melody can evolve)

[Verse 1: Maleah Joi Moon]
Grew up in a town that is famous as a place of movie scenes
Noise is always loud, there are sirens all around and the streets are mean
If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere, that's what they say
Seein' my face in lights or my name on marquees found down on Broadway

[Pre-Chorus: Shoshana Bean]
Even if it ain't all it seems
I got a pocketful of dreams

[Chorus: Shoshana Bean, Maleah Joi Moon, Both]
Baby, I'm from New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothin' you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York, New York, New York

[Verse 2: Maleah Joi Moon, Maleah Joi Moon & Shoshana Bean, Shoshana Bean, Brandon Victor Dixon]
On the avenue, there ain't ever a curfew, ladies work so hard
Such a melting pot, on the corner selling rock, preachers pray to God
Hail a gypsy cab, take you down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge
Someone sleeps tonight with a hunger far more than an empty fridge

[Pre-Chorus: Brandon Victor Dixon, Hell's Kitchen Cast]
I'ma make it by any means
I got a pocketful of dreams

[Chorus: Hell's Kitchen Cast]
Baby, I'm from New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothin' you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Talkin' 'bout New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothin' you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York, New York, New York

[Bridge: Hell's Kitchen Cast]
One hand in the air for the big city
Street lights, big dreams, all lookin' pretty
No place in the world that can compare
Put your lighters in the air
Everybody say, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah"

[Chorus: Hell's Kitchen Cast]
In New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothin' you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York, New York, New York

[Outro: Hell's Kitchen Cast]
She will psych out, she could juke a referee
Hey, hey, hey (Come on)
Tell by her attitude that she most definitely from, from (Come on)
(Where she from?)
Statue of Liberty, home of the World Trade (Come on)
Hey, hey, hey
Long live the queen, y'all, she's from the NY state (Come on)
That's, that's, that's (Come on)
In New York, New York, New York
