Return to Crooklyn |
| B.R. |
| Double O K. L. Y. N |
| B.R. |
| Double O K. L. Y. N |
| Word to Gil Scott |
| The Revolution starts in the heart |
| No diss to Jill Scott |
| Brooklyn ain’t a walk in the park |
| School to prison pipeline they smoking pipes on the Ave |
| When guns shoot and knives stab you can’t get ya life back |
| Nah haggle at the store get the price slashed in half |
| Kings plaza dollar vans on the strip like Gaza |
| Billboards with liquors ads peep the bigger math |
| Petty beefs tit for tat yo we live for cash |
| Must be something in the tap water |
| Disrespectful energy we bring it back towards ya |
| That’s reciprocity |
| They speculate on property |
| It’s a game of monopoly where oligarchs exploit the poverty |
| From red lining cross the yellow blue and red line |
| Legendary kingpins are dead or doing fed time |
| The best rappers you know live there curse and a gift there |
| It’s mixed bag many did that and got big there |
| B R double O K L Y N |
| King’s County NY from beginning to end |
| What’s known ain’t gotta be said its where the greatest sparks |
| Spread love that’s Brooklyn u know in ya heart |
| Vultures swoop to water down culture and truth |
| Dressed in suits contaminate and poison our food |
| And uproot foundations we laid |
| Cause that minimum wage synonymous to population enslaved |
| Corporations paid wintertime pavement is cold |
| Fashion avant-guard Brooklyn Nets logo be the avatar |
| Grimy kids try to sabotage you gotta know the codes |
| Some will overdose others seek the Holy Ghost |
| With goals of climbing up the totem pole |
| Bet you ten mil every 10 years we known for bending social roles |
| Lofty dreams turn to broken hopes and vice versa |
| Careful what you wish you bound to find the right person |
| From the Navy Yard Bushwick to Canarsie |
| To Brownsville late night vigils that honor Sean P |
| Trends die ladies fly new babies is born |
| Raised in the hustle in radiant form |
| B R double O K L Y N |
| King’s County NY from beginning to end |
| What’s known ain’t gotta be said its where the greatest sparks |
| Spread love that’s Brooklyn u know in ya heart |
| Cops patrol the block while we socialize |
| Lotta scammers to survive gotta recognize and know the lies |
| When tensions in the air we know the vibes |
| You better dip before these bullets make ya choke on ya pride |
| Caribbean flags for Jouvert a new day for |
| Another dollar in the bank plus a new décor |
| Corner pocket hit the 8 ball mental napalm |
| Nuke shelters under buildings case they drop an A Bomb |
| Cop Modelos from bodegas while our phones capture data |
| Friends turn their backs names appear on affidavits |
| Split second calculations that’s second nature |
| I peeped from my peripheral the way they heads was shaking |
| Feature presentations girls dressed quasi-naked |
| Bass thumping out cars my inner child awakens |
| It’s where I got my start at hard facts |
| Through life Africa’s inside my soul |
| Brooklyn’s where the heart at |
| B R double O K L Y N |
| King’s County NY from beginning to end |
| What’s known ain’t gotta be said its where the greatest sparks |
| Spread love that’s Brooklyn u know in ya heart |
