Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hello, East Coast,
It's Onassis,
Get 'em Kat DeLuna!
I know a place where the girls wanna party at night,
All the guys love the things that we do (Oooh),
Every girl is so special,
The way the girl light up at night,
Nowhere in the world can you experience,
All of this is sexiiness attitude apocalypse,
If you've been around the world,
There's no place you'd rather be,
Through out the galaxy,
You never wanna leave,
Once you have taste the live,
These girls will rock your life,
And in the summer time,
Feel the heat all through the night,
Nowhere in the world,
Can you find a kinda girl like,
New York City gurls we're unforgettable,
Fast life on the shining bright lights,
So ho who the parties on the regular,
Ohhhh oh ohhhh,
Jersey gurls, the girls we're undeniable,
Seaside heights the party won't stop,
East Coast represent and put your hands up,
Ohhhh oh ohhhh,
[Onassis]
It's New York City trick,
Out-out in Jersey trick,
East Coast love hear the most,
High of these girls, and I need another dose,
Yeah, we came to party,
Hop around town like those Asian bunny's,
Love my sister's, and my Asian girls,
And my Latin lady's always drive me crazy,
Baby baby baby,
Downtown uptown never got enough how,
When you drop it low,
I can see the round thing bounce, bounce,
I need some more,
We can't come to the Jersey shore,
On the run to the way of sevenclub,
Ridin' bikes watch the hights,
With the American girls always fly like kites,
It's so amazing,
Even in the smoke East Coast is blazin',
New York girl were on the chasin',
Nothing you can say can change this,
New York City gurls we're unforgettable,
Fast life on the shining bright lights,
So ho who the parties on the regular,
Ohhhh oh ohhhh,
Jersey gurls, the girls we're undeniable,
Seaside heights the party won't stop,
East Coast represent and put your hands up,
Ohhhh oh ohhhh,
New York City (Jersey, J-J-J-J-Jersey),
New York City (Jersey, J-J-J-J-Jersey),
New York City (Jersey, J-J-J-J-Jersey),
New York City (Jersey, J-J-J-J-Jersey),
Kat DeLuna!,
East Coast!,

The lyrics to Kat DeLuna's song New York City Gurls and their accompanying music video are a celebration of the vibrant party culture on the East Coast, particularly in New York City and New Jersey. The song's opening rap verse by rapper Onassis sets the tone for the upbeat and energetic song, praising the region's party scene that he describes as the "sexiness attitude apocalypse." The lyrics describe a world of bright lights, dancing, and high-energy parties where people from around the world come to see and participate.
The chorus is a shout-out to the "unforgettable" New York City girls who are "fast life on the shining bright lights" and the "undeniable" Jersey girls who bring the party to Seaside Heights. It's a celebration of the diversity of the women who bring life to the party, whether they are Asian, Latin, or American.
Overall, the song is an ode to the high-energy club and party scene that characterizes the East Coast, particularly the tri-state area. It's a celebration of the people who make the region come alive and the unique cultural blend that defines it.
