劳动节英文歌

一轮明月惹相思，无数风情常入诗。灯暗窗幽浮往事，笺红墨黑记前时。几番恩爱成追忆，数次残欢总别离。梁祝千年化蝶恋，嫦娥抱兔为谁痴？

All of my Dominicano's right there up on Broadway,

Pull me back to that McDonald's, took it to my stashbox, 560 State St.

Catch me in the kitchen like a Simmons wippin' pastry's

Cruisin' down 8th St., off white Lexus

Drivin' so slow, but BK is from Texas

Me, I'm out that Bed-Stuy, home of that boy Biggie

Now I live on Billboard and I brought my boys with me

Say whattup to Ty-Ty, still sippin' Mai Tai's

Sittin' courtside, Knicks and Nets give me high five

Nigga I be Spike'd out, I could trip a referee

Tell by my attitude that I'm most definitely from

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

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

Catch me at the X with OG at a Yankee game

Shit, I made the Yankee hat more famous then a Yankee can

You should know I bleed blue, but I ain't a Crip though

But I got a gang of niggas walkin' with my clique though

Welcome to the melting pot, corners where we sellin' rock

Afrika Bambataa shit, home of the hip-hop

Yellow cab, gypsy cab, dollar cab, holla back

For foreigners it ain't for, they act like they forgot how to act

Eight million stories, out there in it naked

City is a pity, half of y'all won't make it

Me, I got a plug, Special Ed "I Got It Made"

If Jesus payin' Lebron, I'm payin' Dwayne Wade

Three dice cee-lo, three card monte

Labor Day Parade, rest in peace Bob Marley

Lights is blinding, girls need blinders

So they can step out of bounds quick, the sidelines is

Lined with casualties, who sip to life casually

Then gradually become worse, don't bite the apple, Eve

Caught up in the in-crowd, now you're in style

End of the winter gets cold, en vogue, with your skin out

City of sin, it's a pity on the whim

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

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

Everybody ride her, just like a bus route

Hail Mary to the city, you're a virgin

And Jesus can't save you, life starts when the church end

Came here for school, graduated to the high life

Ball players, rap stars, addicted to the limelight

MDMA got you feelin' like a champion

The city never sleeps, better slip you an Ambien

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

创作背景

歌曲由两位纽约布鲁克林的创作者——安吉拉·亨特和珍妮·塞维尔出于对家乡的思念之情而创作。2009年2月，两人在一次海外旅途中分享了她们的思乡情感，并简单写下了这首歌曲以表对家乡的渴望。一个月后，她们将歌曲秘密送到了Roc Nation唱片公司，希望Jay Z能够采纳这首歌曲，但却受到了负面的评价。

之后在一次聚会上，EMI唱片的Jon "Big Jon" Platt听到了歌曲，并在之后将歌曲送到了Jay Z手上。在听过后Jay Z喜欢上了这首歌曲，他保留了歌曲的副歌部分，并立即录制了歌曲。而当被询问到演唱副歌部分的合适人选时，亨特推荐了艾丽西亚·凯斯 。

歌曲采样自1970年The Moments歌曲《Love on a Two-Way Street》。

2009年，艾丽西亚·凯斯推出了歌曲的个人版本《Empire State Of Mind Part II: Broken Down》，该版被收录在艾丽西亚·凯斯于2009年12月15日发行的录音室专辑《Element of Freedom》 。
