Streets Of New York (AOL Broadband Rocks! Live at Webster Hall - December 1, 2003) - Alicia Keys

Let's take it to the street

(New York, New York, New York, New York)

(New York, New York, New York, New York)

(New York, New York, New York, New York)

It's like a jungle, out here

So much struggle, out here

And my dreams steal my rest

Sneaks the cousin of death

Always feels like a race against Father Time

In the streets of New York

All I see is (Yeah-yeah, Yeah-yeah)

Bullet holes in our people (Yeah-yeah, Yo black it's time)

Only crime fills the brain (Yeah-yeah, Yeah-yeah)

It's like I'm going insane (Yeah-yeah, Yo black it's time)

The revolution has to start, don't waste no time (Yeah-yeah, Yeah-yeah)

In the Streets of New York (New York state of mind)

So rock & roll right now

Let's go!

New York, New York, New York, New York

Get them hands up! (Oh)

Let me see 'em right (State of mind)

Get - throw your hands up!

New York, New York, New York, New York (New York City)

I said rock & roll right now! (Oh)

I said rock & roll! (State of mind)

New York, New York, New York, New York (New York City)

Hey (Oh! Get a dream)

Let's go!

New York, New York, New York, New York (New York City)

Oh! (Oh! Let it scream)

Oh, it's like the game

Just ain't the same (Yeah-yeah)

Baby loves them girls with no shame (Yeah-yeah, Yo black it's time)

Can't get away (Get away), epidemic plague (Plague)

Every hood in every state (Yeah-yeah, Yo black it's time)

Don't have no reasons 'cause belief is hard to find

In the streets of New York (New York state of mind)

It's da, It's da n-new

Everybody now! (New York now)

New York, New York, New York, New York City (Come on, let me see y'all)

Oh-oh-oh (Put yo hands right, let me see y'all)

New York, New York, New York, New York City
