| I said I was gonna do a song about Brooklyn
|
| So I’m not gonna do a song about Brooklyn
|
| It could be from Brooklyn without being from Vietnam
|
| Not every drug mule from the hood
|
| Have balls flying in their window tonight
|
| I love my neighborhood it’s not all bad
|
| Everything was all good just a week ago
|
| And it’s still just as good right now
|
| (My neighborhood)
|
| You wish you could come into my neighborhood, neighborhood (in my neighborhood)
|
| Yo, I grew up on the fun side, the New York one side
|
| Stay in the love was quite easy
|
| Sunshine just like the dude on TV
|
| Running no rock tooth hair peezy
|
| Hyper lil' some bitch always is some other shit
|
| A tree grew in Brooklyn, My house was in front of it
|
| Off the wall softball you don’t want none of this
|
| Race down the block and let you know who’s run this shit
|
| Where?
|
| In my neighborhood (In my neighborhood)
|
| You wish you could come into my neighborhood, neighborhood (in my neighborhood)
|
| You like to hear the story
|
| Again and again
|
| About the B to the K to the L Y N
|
| Not a talk about my rubble B though it would be obvious
|
| But I see less brooklyn dodgers and more cosby kids
|
| And i ain’t livin ten-stick-wood ave put your ear to the window
|
| Still hear kids laugh cause the only time we hear sirens
|
| Is when the firemen turned off the hydrant
|
| But once they was gone AJ got the tool box and turned it
|
| Back on block parties kept going till the crack of dawn
|
| We ain’t have a balcony up in mya’s thing we made due
|
| With the view from the fire escape and on the fourth of july
|
| Yeah we light up the sky, but not with the gats all we need is a matchstick
|
| Hang up the milk crate, use it as a basket
|
| Red alert saturday night speakers blastin, where?
|
| In my neighborhood (In my neighborhood)
|
| You wish you could come into my neighborhood, neighborhood (in my neighborhood)
|
| Now dominique’s pop’s drove an ice cream truck
|
| So my house was the first stop hows that for luck
|
| Bide my bike around the block with jermaine
|
| And his brothers while his uncles
|
| And his cousins played spades with his mother
|
| Then after dark sneak to taffy park and
|
| Start writin on the walls
|
| Where they play hand ball but little did the people
|
| Know the vandal was this little bro right underneath their nose playin
|
| Coco leave me yo?, catch me if you can was the object
