Jay-Z featuring Alicia Keys, "Empire State of Mind"
Misheard Lyrics:
In New York, I'm pickin' a wimpy tomato
There's nothing you can't chew
There's nothing you can't chew
Original Lyrics:
New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can’t do
There's nothing you can’t do
Didn't explicitly hear "chew" (heard "oo"), but "chew" was assumed from context and was what I thought the lyric was.
