(Verse)

City lights are flashing, the streets are alive

Skyscrapers rising, reaching up to the sky

Traffic hums like music, sirens in the night

Rushing through the chaos, chasing neon lights

(Hook)

But I breathe it in, every corner, every street

It’s the rhythm of the hustle, the sound of the beat...

(Pre-Chorus)

Yeah, you gotta feel it, the pulse and the drive

In the heart of the city, this is how we survive

(Chorus)

It’s the sound of the hustle, the beat of the block

The city never sleeps, the dreams don’t stop

You gotta feel it, you gotta vibe

In New York City, man, this is the life!

Step into the madness, the beauty, the grind...

This is New York City – it’s a state of mind!

(Verse)

From Harlem to Brooklyn, the stories unfold

On every street corner, the legends are told

Subway symphonies, the rhythm underground

Lost in the noise, but it's where I’m found

(Hook)

Through the highs and the lows, it keeps calling me back

A love-hate affair that’s always on track

(Pre-Chorus)

Yeah, you gotta live it, the chaos and pride

In the heart of the city, there's no place to hide

(Chorus)

It’s the sound of the hustle, the beat of the block

The city never sleeps, the dreams don’t stop

You gotta feel it, you gotta vibe

In New York City, man, this is the life!

Step into the madness, the beauty, the grind...

This is New York City – it’s a state of mind!

(Bridge)

Through every sunrise, every midnight run

The city keeps shining like the only one

A million stories rise, but they all collide

In this concrete jungle, we learn to thrive

(Chorus)

It’s the sound of the hustle, the beat of the block

The city never sleeps, the dreams don’t stop

You gotta feel it, you gotta vibe,

In New York City, man, this is the life

Step into the madness, the beauty, the grind...

This is New York City – it’s a state of mind!

(Outro)

Yeah, it's a state of mind

Every heartbeat... every step in time

This is New York City... it’s a state of mind!
