If you can make it here
You can make it anywhere
It's up to you New York
If you can make it here
You can make it anywhere
It's up to you New York

[Hook]
I am just a schemer
Trying to turn you non-believers into dreamers

[Verse 1]
Child I know you work your 9 to 5's
Never dependent on no guy
But in this time of your life
You're just trying to get by
So, you smoke a little lye just to get a little high
Closer to touching the sky
You're waiting on the stars to perfectly align
This can't be a crime trying to get what's mine

[Hook]
I am just a schemer
Trying to turn you non-believers into dreamers
I am just a schemer
Trying to turn you non-believers into dreamers

Dream
Dream
Dream
Dream
Dream
Dreamers

[Verse 2]
Put aside the doubts and fears
Never listen to the ones
Putting you down over the years
 [bad word] easy
Mostly sweat and tears
But if you choose to persevere, cheers
Let's toast to the ones on the east coast
Doing it up for the cats who act like they don't know
Concrete jungle where the rose did grow
Do the impossible

[Hook]
If you can make it here
You can make it anywhere
It's up to you New York
If you can make it here
You can make it anywhere
It's up to you New York

[Hook]
I am just a schemer
Trying to turn you non-believers into dreamers
I am just a schemer
Trying to turn you non-believers into dreamers

[Bridge]
 [bad word] [bad word]  [bad word] [bad word] 
Yes, they do
 [bad word] [bad word]  [bad word] [bad word] 
Yes, they do
