An Open Letter To NYC (With Skit) (International Version) - Beastie Boys (野兽男孩)[00:00:00]

Brooklyn Bronx Queens and Staten[00:00:36]

From the Battery to the top of Manhattan[00:00:39]

Asian Middle-Eastern and Latin[00:00:41]

Black White New York you make it happen[00:00:44]

Brownstones water towers trees skyscrapers[00:00:47]

Writers prize fighters and Wall Street traders[00:00:48]

We come together on the subway cars[00:00:51]

Diversity unified whoever you are[00:00:54]

We're doing fine on the One and Nine line[00:00:56]

On the L we're doin' swell[00:00:59]

On the number Ten bus we fight and fuss[00:01:01]

Cause we're thorough in the boroughs and that's a must[00:01:04]

I remember when the Duece was all porno flicks[00:01:07]

Running home after school to play PIX and 1[00:01:09]

At lunch I'd go to Blimpies down on Montague Street[00:01:12]

And hit the Fulton Street Mall for the sneakers on my feet[00:01:15]

Dear New York I hope you're doing well[00:01:18]

I know a lot's happen and you've been through hell[00:01:19]

So we give thanks for providing a home[00:01:22]

Through your gates at Ellis Island we passed in droves[00:01:24]

Brooklyn Bronx Queens and Staten[00:01:27]

From the Battery to the top of Manhattan[00:01:30]

Asian Middle-Eastern and Latin[00:01:32]

Black White New York you make it happen[00:01:35]

The L I E the B Q E[00:01:38]

Hippies at the band shell with the L S D [00:01:40]

Get my BVD's from VIM[00:01:42]

You know I'm reppin' Manhattan the best I can[00:01:45]

Stopped off at Bleeker Bob's got thrown out[00:01:48]

Sneakin' in at 4:00 am after going out[00:01:50]

You didn't rob me in the park at Dianna Ross[00:01:53]

But everybody started looting when the light went off[00:01:55]

From the South South Bronx on out to Queens Bridge[00:01:58]

From Hollis Queens right down to Bay Ridge[00:02:00]

From Castle Hill to the Lower East Side[00:02:03]

From 1010 WINS to Live At Five[00:02:06]

Dear New York this is a love letter[00:02:09]

To you and how you brought us together[00:02:11]

We can't say enough about all you do[00:02:13]

Cause in the city were ourselves and electric too[00:02:15]

Brooklyn Bronx Queens and Staten[00:02:19]

From the Battery to the top of Manhattan[00:02:21]

Asian Middle-Eastern and Latin[00:02:23]

Black White New York you make it happen[00:02:26]

Shout out the South Bronx where my mom hails from[00:02:49]

Right next to High Bridge across from Harlem[00:02:52]

To the Grand Concourse where my mom and dad met[00:02:54]

Before they moved on down to the Upper West[00:02:57]

I see you're still strong after all that's gone on[00:02:59]

Life long we dedicate this song[00:03:02]

Just a little something to show some respect[00:03:05]

To the city that blends and mends and tests[00:03:07]

Since 911 we're still livin'[00:03:10]

And lovin' life we've been given[00:03:12]

Ain't nothing gonna take that away from us[00:03:15]

Were lookin' pretty and gritty 'cause in the city we trust[00:03:17]

Dear New York I know a lot has changed[00:03:20]

2 towers down but you're still in the game[00:03:22]

Home to many rejecting know one[00:03:25]

Accepting peoples of all places wherever they're from[00:03:27]

Brooklyn Bronx Queens and Staten[00:03:30]

From the Battery to the top of Manhattan[00:03:33]

Asian Middle-Eastern and Latin[00:03:35]

Black White New York you make it happen[00:03:38]

Brooklyn Bronx Queens and Staten[00:03:40]

From the Battery to the top of Manhattan[00:03:43]

Asian Middle-Eastern and Latin[00:03:45]

Black White New York we make it happen[00:03:48]
