|
| Panic, as another manic depressive
|
| Adolescent, stares at death, now what’s left
|
| When there ain’t no God, and a whole lot of pride
|
| It might be a homicide; |
| so let the drama, slide
|
| We don’t want no problems be
|
| Get your name in the obituary column sheet
|
| Cause life is too short, and it just gets shorter
|
| I wish I had a quarter for all my people they slaughtered
|
| Last year alone, in the Dead Zone
|
| Walk straight, but don’t walk late
|
| Cause I’m comin with a hate only made, from what it made me
|
| Cause nobody ever played me
|
| Now it’s, only gettin worse, Buckshot and Ase
|
| In the land of the waste, kickin you in your face
|
| We be doin it up Crooklyn STYYYYYYLE
|
| What does it take to get you WILLLLLLD
|
| My mentality is gettin iller, killer
|
| Instinct that’s tryin to infiltrate, but wait
|
| I know you want to enter but I can’t let you in
|
| My mindstate’s the maddest, I’m Gone With the Wind
|
| Because it is, survival of the fittest
|
| When the shit hits the fan I got my shank in my hand
|
| Black man with the permanent tan
|
| I come from the 'Ville and never ran, damn
|
| I’m feelin another part of reality
|
| Hit me when I represent the F.A.P
|
| Straight from the 'Ville, Tilden played the building
|
| I mean literally when I say I make a killing
|
| For my cypher, see I’m feenin to bust a piper
|
| Original Headz represent the Brooklyn all nighter
|
| Do or die, I’m sayin it’s you and I
|
| Bring your click, so we can get Stone like Family Sly
|
| Peace to C.I. |
| and the Bush
|
| Might even see Ruck and the Rock givin the push

| We did it like that, and now we do it like this
|
| We did it like that, and now we do it like this
|
| Go inside your mind and find a time that you miss
|
| And just, think about the steel in your fist
|
| It’s just an extension of your arm, it’s that ghetto type of charm
|
| That makes all the homeboys swarm
|
| Can I drop the bomb? |
| Oh yes I can
|
| Move with the groove, smooth like Geechie Dan
|
| Who is the man? |
| That kid there
|
| Who is the chick with the pick in her hair?
|
| Angela, uhh Davis, and we roll like Avis
|
| Rent-a-Car kid, there you are
|
| You know where to find me, whenever you need me
|
| If you know the Ave., follow the path
|
| To the land of the aftermath
|
| But don’t frolic in the midst, crazy ass Crooklyn kids
|
| Cause they always throwin a body on my lawn
|
| I’m gettin a Rott-weiler, without a collar
|
| Get off my block boy and give me a dollar
|
| For the trouble, or get blown up, like a bubble
|
| Let’s take a sec to think back, the year of the seven-oh
|
| When Brooklyn was the place to go
|
| Flow, on a journey up to Crown Heights
|
| Ebbets Field, feel the reel to reel on your life
|
| Trife, individuals live in the PJ’s
|
| Dee Evil, check my DJ
|
| Hey, play what I want to play in the day
|
| But in the night, I feel the right took a left
|
| Bucktown, Brooklyn break it down
|
| Heads from state to state, travel as I unravel the rate
|
| How it, tapped Scott and Sutter
|
| I remember way back in the days playin hot peas and butter
|
| Brother, if you want another lesson, Crooklyn, session
|
| Take it back, Black Smif-N-Wessun
|
| Press your luck, you get stuck by Buck
|
| For your bucks, Masta Ase, has the taste
|
| For ducks, and duck sauce, so tell Lord Digga
|
| Dig a grave for the bones, sticks and stones
|
| While I kick some ancient poems, through your domes
|
| 'Act went back, to attack your homes
|
| So Tip, can I flip? |
| (Yes you can)
|
| I’m in the World War, with Muhammad my man
|
| Feels so good to be a Crooklyn Dodger
|
| Uh-huh, what’s happenin, to ReRun and Roger?
|
| I think I seen em wearin Timberlands and runnin down the block
|
| From D’Wayne and D’Wayne had a Glock
|
| Cause he be sellin rock for the Partridge Family
|
| And Ruben Kincaid drives a 300-E
|
| And he be pimpin Chrissy from Three’s Company
|
| Plus he stuck Mr. T for all his jewelry
|
| This is a 70's thing from the days
|
| When kids didn’t act so crazed, in Crooklyn

|
| And there goes a line drive to left field
|
| Waters? |
| after it, he leaps and it’s over his head
|
| Against the wall. |

| scores
|
| Brooklyn wins! |
| Brooklyn wins! |
| Brooklyn wins!» |
