I'm from Brooklyn |
Brooklyn be billions and billions, I be Brooklyn Bill |
It was Brooklyn where my uncle got hooked on krillz |
A billion warped thoughts travel through the grime in his mind |
A billion wars fought between crime designed in the devine |
A billion seconds ago, it was nineteen fifty-nine |
A billion minutes ago, Jesus Christ was alive |
A billion hours ago, we were living in the stone ages |
A billion dollars, the definition what cocaine is |
This be a Brooklyn thing where Kings stampede |
We got hundreds of greedy geniuses that get that cream |
Acopolco Gold grab dutches at the bodega |
Stuntin' in stashed Air Maxes, those are my most favourite |
We met fanphibian, fucked up, I need lithium |
Sabotage my life with northern lights and pifium |
I been the illest William since Billy D |
Sold Colt 45 of TV, it’s really me, Billy Brooklyn |
This is Brooklyn |
Br-br-br-br-br-Brooklyn |
I’m from BBr-br-br-br-br-Brooklyn |
Br-br-br-br-br-Brooklyn |
(Verse 2: Mr Metaphor) |
Yeah, you love the way I’m a burrough sound chopped up |
Fuck around, that’s exactly how you found, chopped up |
In Gowanus Canal with a sock in your mouth inside a hefty bag |
Looking like Oscar the Grouch |
No future, It’s Apocalypse Now |
You get blasted off, rocketship stlye |
Brooklyn bad, the beautiful, the bomb |
Its musical charm and I ain’t talking Louie Vatton |
I’m talking Tim boots, baseball caps, and facemasks |
Polo patches, skully caps, and nap sacks |
Fat sacks of weed, half black and Japanese |
Drug pushers turning cats to catastrophe |
It ain’t the movies, you ain’t gonna believe |
Outsiders try to enter but they ain’t gonna leave |
(Verse 3: Brooklyn Academy) |
I learned how to survive on the crossroads of a street and an avenue |
Where kids brawl over stick ball and use a bat for beating you black and blue |
Little bastards that would laugh at you if you were sweeter than passion fruit |
Until your heart hardens on the streets with the Brooklyn attitude |
And we would rumble like the Jets and the Sharks |
But on Friday the spics and white chicks had sex in the park |
And we didn’t give a fuck from which section you are |
But if you gonna step to somebody, you step with some heart |
When we travel from Longbow to Marcey, from Partsworth to Canarsie |
The strong and thorough made a name like John Turtturo |
Our block was born so you’d lock your doors of fear of knocks |
The birthplace of 2Pac Shakur |
This is Brooklyn, the shots? |
like poker face |
Carve your skin like a Jack-o-lantern and crack jokes like Adam Sandler |
Commit a crime with an open case, robbing armoured cars |
With the warrant squad chasing you in the dark through Prospect Park |
(Verse 4: Brooklyn Academy) |
The Dodger’s first home where I bought my first phone |
I had my first? |
, where I broke my first bone |
Flipped my first nick, where I got my first girlfriend to suck her first dick |
Where I ate Section 8, where I took my first shit |
Where I had my first fight, where I joined my first gang |
Where I first broke night, hold tight, it’s where I dropped my first shroom |
Where I took my first bump, where I heard my first tune thump |
Out Jamel’s first Maxima trunk, after that, matter fact |
Actual fact, it’s where I first landed a track in the lab with the AK |
The land that I rep go like? |
I fight for it like a Palestenian with a stone |
B-R double O-K Corral where the illest MC could come spit a loser’s morale |
The most popular burrough where everyone wants to stay |
My home, our zone, all hail BK |
