What was the song I started in Brooklyn?

This song was sung by Jay-z and alicia keys.

State of mind of empire

Yes, I'm in Brooklyn,

I started in Brooklyn.

Now I'm in tribeca,

Now I'm in tribeca

Right next to De Niro,

Next to Deniro.

But I will always be Hood,

But I will always belong on the street.

I am the new Sinatra,

I'm Frank Sinatra (known as the father of pop music).

Now that I'm here,

Because I can create it here.

I can go anywhere,

I can grow and develop anywhere.

Yes, they love me everywhere,

Be loved by people everywhere.

I used to be a policeman in Harlem.

(Harlem, a district in new york, USA, where most residents are black) I used to live in a black community.

All my Dominicans

Dominicans) Dominicans and Dominicans in Central America and the Caribbean. )

With my Dominican brothers

Right on Broadway,

It's Broadway now

Brought me back to McDonald's,

I remember when I was at McDonald's.

Take it to my hiding place,

That's my lair

560 Stage Street,

It's on 560 street.

Catching me in the kitchen is like catching Simmons cake,

I'm dealing drugs, just like Simmons sells pastry shoes.

Drive along eighth avenue,

Take a ride on eighth street.

White Lexus,

Leave in a white Lexus.

Driving slowly, but BK is from Texas,

Slow, but Beyonce is from Texas.

I was lying in bed,

I come from the bedding company.

That boy Biggie's house,

The hometown of those big shots.

Now I live on a billboard,

Now I am active on billboards.

I took my children,

And my brothers.

Then lift the water to Taitai and still sip Malta.

Say hello to beautiful women and drink Malta (cocktail)

The Knicks and Nets sitting on the sidelines gave me a high five.

Sitting on the sidelines, the new york Knicks and the New Jersey Nets gave me a high five.

I'm knocked down, I can trip the referee,

I said N-gga, let the referee speak.

Judging from my attitude, I must come from …

You can see from my attitude that I come from.

[alicia keys]

In new york, NY.

Concrete jungle, where there are dreams,

Weave the concrete world of dreams

There is nothing you can't do,

You can get what you want here.

Now that you are in new york,

Now you are in new york.

These streets will make you feel brand new.

The streets here can make you look brand new,

Headlights will inspire you,

Huge neon lights can bring you enlightenment.

Let's hear it for new york, new york.

Let's cheer for new york, new york and new york.

[Jay-Z]

I told you to heat up \ n-gga,)

Saw me watching the Yankees game with OG at station x,

My brothers and I are going to watch the new york Yankees game in the Bronx.

I made the Yankees hat more famous than the Yankees,

Fuck, I made a Yankee hat that is more famous than Yankee.

You should know that I have blue blood, but I'm not lame.

You know I am of noble blood, but I am not a member of the lame gang.

But I have a bunch of n-ggas following me,

But I have my own gang, and they all walk with my accent.

Welcome to the melting pot,

Welcome to this melting pot.

The corner where we sell stones,

We used to sell drugs on this street corner.

afrika bambaataa sh-t，

Zulu gang leader's stuff

Hometown of hip-hop music,

Xiha hometown

Yellow cap, gypsy cap, dollar taxi, come back from Holland,

Yellow taxi, red card taxi, one-dollar taxi, taxi calling.

For foreigners, this is inappropriate. They forget how to act.

An unaccustomed foreigner pretends to forget what to do.

There are 8 million stories out there,

There are eight million stories in this bare city.

It's a pity that half of you can't go to the city,

Unfortunately, only half of the people can finish the story.

I want to insert a special sentence "I succeeded"

I will present a song "I succeeded" sung by the special ed.

If Jeezy pays LeBron, I will pay Dwayne Wade,

If young jeezy pays for LeBron, then I will pay for Dwayne Wade.

3 dice cee-lo

3 dice game

Carmont,

Three-card game

Labor Day Parade, Rest in Peace, bob marley,

During the Labor Day Parade, the rest were immersed in bob marley's music and enjoying peace (bob marley, godfather of reggae).

The Statue of Liberty, Long live world trade,

The Statue of Liberty will live in the World Trade Center forever.

Long live the king of pop music and long live MJ.

I come from the Empire State ...

I'm from the Empire State.

[Chorus]

In new york,

New York

Concrete jungle, where there are dreams,

Weave the concrete world of dreams

There is nothing you can't do,

You can get what you want here.

Now that you are in new york,

Now you are in new york.

These streets will make you feel brand new.

The streets here can make you look brand new,

Headlights will inspire you,

Huge neon lights can bring you enlightenment.

Let's hear it for new york, new york.

Let's cheer for new york, new york and new york.

(welcome to the bright light ... welcome to this shining zone)

[Jay-Z]

The lights are dazzling,

Neon lights are too dazzling.

Girls need blindfolds.

Girls need to wear goggles.

So they can cross the border quickly,

They can quickly escape the temptation.

The lateral line is invisible due to casualties,

Some people ignore the painful lessons of their predecessors.

Who sips life casually and then gets worse?

Take a sip occasionally, then get addicted,

Don't bite the apple Eve,

Don't bite Eve's apple.

Trapped in the crowd,

Become one of the few aliens

Now your fashion,

Now you pursue fashion.

It gets cold in winter, and your skin is exposed.

Like Anna from fashion magazine. Untul wears very little in winter like that.

Sin City is a temporary regret,

The sin of this city is pity for the dreamer.

Good girls have gone bad, and the city is everywhere.

The whole city knows that good girls go bad.

Mom took a bus trip, and now she has taken out the bust.

The girl was raped while traveling by bus.

Everyone rides her, like a bus route,

Everyone fucked her, just like a passing bus.

Salute to your virgin city,

Pray to the virgin Mary that you are still a virgin.

Jesus can't save you, life begins at the end of the church,

Jesus can't save you. Life can only begin when the church dies.

Come to school here, live a luxurious life after graduation,

Come here to go to school, graduate and enjoy a quality life.

Players, rap stars, obsessed with the spotlight,

Stars, rap stars, are firmly attracted by fame and fortune.

Ecstasy makes you feel like a champion,

Ecstasy makes you feel like a champion.

This city never sleeps, so I'd better give you a sleeping pill.

This city never sleeps. You'd better take sleeping pills.

[Chorus]

In new york,

New York

Concrete jungle, where there are dreams,

Weave the concrete world of dreams

There is nothing you can't do,

You can get what you want here.

Now that you are in new york,

Now you are in new york.

These streets will make you feel brand new.

The streets here can make you look brand new,

Headlights will inspire you,

Huge neon lights can bring you enlightenment.

Let's hear it for new york, new york.

Let's cheer for new york, new york and new york.

[alicia keys]

One hand in the air represents a big city,

Raise your hands for this city.

Street lamps, big dreams all look beautiful,

The dream of neon looks so beautiful.

Nowhere in the world can it be compared,

No place in the world can match it.

Put your lighter in the air, and everyone says yeah.

Light a lighter and wave it in the air. Let's say yes together.

Come on, come on,

Burn it, burn it.

Yeah,

[Chorus]

In new york, NY.

Concrete jungle, where there are dreams,

Weave the concrete world of dreams

There is nothing you can't do,

You can get what you want here.

Now that you are in new york,

Now you are in new york.

These streets will make you feel brand new.

The streets here can make you look brand new,

Headlights will inspire you,

Huge neon lights can bring you enlightenment.

Let's hear it for new york, new york.

Let's cheer for new york, new york and new york.
