歌詞

New York was a dream, I see it in my sleep

Never been there once, but the lights still beep

Tiny feet on tatami, heart in the street

I rap to the skyline my screen can’t reach

Magazine page, silver and blue

I said “someday” but I never knew

Rain in Tokyo, feels the same

Like jazz in the puddles whispering my name

Mama said, “boy, stay in your lane,”

But dreams don’t stop at the bullet train

They cross the sea, they hum and gleam

New York, New York, you live in my dream

New York was a dream, shining in my room

Stars on the ceiling, playing that tune

I never walked your avenue

But every beat I make comes back to you

Posters fade on my bedroom wall

Names I can’t read but I want them all

Dreams grow tall like city vines

I count the beats between the lines

My sneakers squeak on empty ground

No taxis here, just cicada sound

Still, I walk that city in my head

Crossing lights my feet never tread

New York was a dream, calling my name

I chase that sound, it sounds the same

Every kid has a place to be

Mine’s a skyline across the sea

If I go there someday soon

Will I still hear that distant tune?

Maybe dreams are meant to stay

Half a world but one away

New York was a dream, don’t fade tonight

Hold that glow, keep burning bright

Even if I never see

You’re the beat that carried me

Keep it a dream, don’t wake me up

The city glows inside my cup

Somewhere across that ocean beam

New York was— and stays— my dream
