The song is Jay-Z's ode to New York City and includes a lyric - “long live the world trade” - which refers to the 9/11 attacks.

Construction to rebuild Ground Zero has been ongoing since the terrorist attacks of 2001.

The song, which features on the rapper's latest album 'The Blueprint 3', is already available as a download.
