Empire State Of Mind

[Intro]
Yeeah, yeah
Yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Empire state, I got Timbs on me
I'm making waves like a tsunami
Eating pizza with the salami
They want some beef, like pastrami
Crazy this shit used to be a hobby
Yeah, I put all of the racks on my body
But I'ma still treat it like a hobby
I'll never fall like origami

[Chorus]
Empire state of mind
Yeah, I think it is my time to shine
All of these labels want to sign
My music age just like a fine wine
When I make it, yeah we gonna fine dine
For my family, I'ma spend every dime
You're gonna see me on every headline
You're gonna see me on every headline

[Verse]
Yeah, I'ma turn the world (Yeah)
I be getting all the mileage
And I've got all of these pearls
I don't really need a stylist
I'm going nuts like a squirrel
Got me feeling like a savage
Yeah, you know I be baddest
And I be living so lavish

[Bridge]
By the way-by the way-I'm getting money
You're in my way-in my way-acting funny
Just come away-come away-if you love me
It's hard to tell, if you really care about me
It's cause of that we only get one chance
If you have the spotlight on, you better dance
I'd be nowhere without my fans
So crazy, it all happened in a glance

[Verse]
Used to be Forces on my feet, now it's Prada
I be covered in Dolce & Galbana
Program my life, yeah just like Java
They all used to hate, yeah guess it's karma
Used to be so trapped, now I do what I wanna
Feeling so hot, like I'm a sauna
Sit in a throne, yeah you know I gotta
Top ten, yeah you know I wanna

[Pre-Chorus]
Empire state, I got Timbs on me
I'm making waves like a tsunami
Eating pizza with the salami
They want some beef, like pastrami
Crazy this shit used to be a hobby
Yeah, I put all of the racks on my body
But I'ma still treat it like a hobby
I'll never fall like origami

[Chorus]
Empire state of mind
Yeah, I think it is my time to shine
All of these labels want to sign
My music age just like a fine wine
When I make it, yeah we gonna fine dine
For my family, I'ma spend every dime
You're gonna see me on every headline
You're gonna see me on every headline
