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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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