Lyrics
Empire state of mind. Lets go

Things are lookin' up, I'm ready for the night I feel good, real good, can't nobody hold me down Gonna take advantage of all these flashin' lights Cause it's the best time the best time for it We can do it all right now Can't nobody tie me down If you want it, I got it Tomorrow's not promised

So live inside the moment Tell me, what are we waiting for? What the hell are waiting for? I wanna live inside the moment Tell me, what are we waiting for? What the hell are waiting for? I wanna live inside the moment, moment Moment I wanna live inside the moment I wanna live inside the moment

When I was five years old, I realized there was a road at the end Pretty girls, cars, and big Rolls Gold and platinum plaques, a couple million sold Fans screamin' they love me, sellin' out my shows I put in hard work If you don't give your all then it won't work

Been waitin' on this day since [?] gave me birth Gotta believe in yourself and gotta know your worth I did it clean as a whistle, stayed away from dirt I told you I'ma get it Everybody, they're talkin', I dreamt about how I'm livin' Reality was written, I put effort in my vision That's why I hustle so hard to be the best that ever did it
