|
| Born in Fort Greene in the hospital of Brooklyn
|
| Before me and my parents moved to granny house on Rutland
|
| That didn’t last too long 'cause daddy had another woman
|
| Had to get his own apartment, separated, end up movin'
|
| I went from sleepin' in a crib to sleepin' on a mattress
|
| From one side to the other, Church and Nostrand was my address
|
| When I moved in with my father and his girlfriend out in Flatbush
|
| Her and I had got along, I always loved her 'cause she had cooked
|
| I used to live in Glenwood when our family had a big house
|
| I thought that we would live there for a while 'til we got kicked out
|
| My mom took me to Brownsville, had me sleepin' on her friend’s couch
|
| I lost track of how many times we moved, I got a bad count
|
| Never been to Brooklyn, you’re in luck, I’ll be your guide
|
| I’ll escort you in my hoopty, pay for gas, I’ll be your ride
|
| Could take you to Gowanus, then I’ll take you to the Stuy
|
| Make a trip out to the Heights, take the Belt to Coney Island

|
| Stashed his hammer in this alley when my dad got locked
|
| Just a couple blocks away from where he had got shot
|
| By this Chinese store on Linden where I had got rocked
|
| One on three, I couldn’t do much, and my hat got robbed
|
| On this corner over here is where my mans got popped
|
| Missed his service, couldn’t bear to see his casket drop
|
| I would take you over there, but I can’t stand that block
|
| Police saw me make two turns and then the van got stopped
|
| Was on our way to Williamsburg, they asked where I was headed
|
| Just left the trap in Bushwick, weed I had on me was smellin'
|
| If they asked me where I got it, guarantee I wouldn’t tell 'em
|
| Knew they had to let us go because they couldn’t find a weapon
|
| A lot of memories over here in this park
|
| You wouldn’t catch me dead over here when it’s dark
|
| Stay on 360, gotta stay aware where we walk
|
| Ain’t in Flatbush, but I still got family in each part
|
| Now I could show you where it’s nice, I could show you where it ain’t
|
| Where you shouldn’t go at night, where you shouldn’t go at day
|
| I could show you, I could
|
| I could show you, I could show you, I could show you, I could show you,
|

|
| Now I could show you where it’s nice, I could show you where it ain’t

|
| I could show you, I could
|
| Now I could show you |
