| Brooklyn wild big like a planet
|
| Better have nerves of granite
|
| Cause when it pops, no cops get rest
|
| Coney Island like a fortress facing the sea
|
| Bushwick on the edge of the BQE
|
| In Farragut and Fort Greene, I laid down box
|
| I move in the Stuy, I’m that guy
|
| I’m that nigga yelling «7−1-8»
|
| You that nigga that everybody hate
|
| I’ll slide into Brownsville, but only the daytime
|
| And even then, my nigga, ain’t nothing guaranteed
|
| Garages in Flatbush for yardman weed
|
| Got Trinis, Asians, Blasian, Caucasians, Jews
|
| Fantastic views from the Heights
|
| But it’s often interrupted by sirens and lights
|
| Hard work and population
|
| The size of a little nation
|
| So spread your shit, that’s why I’m liking shit
|
| Brooklyn
|
| It’s the life that all of us been reaching for
|
| Brooklyn
|
| Real meets real every day on this concrete road
|
| Brooklyn
|
| See what I see, although we don’t inhale the taste
|
| Brooklyn
|
| Balling’s way past a dollar; |
| what the fuck, somebody holler
|
| I relocate to where it’s good for me
|
| I like being low, but I miss New Ro
|
| With Ross, Coss, Wise, Vic
|
| Half, Spit, was all in the rib
|
| They seen the first ad-lib at a Nub show, too
|
| Together we grew
|
| It’s been a while since we played in the H. R
|
| Got to lay this music, God
|
| And you know you got packing
|
| When niggas start acting
|
| You know how to call
|
| Y’all is in my heart, that’s why I love all of y’all
|
| A man made moves, though
|
| Hit the X running
|
| Come back to double-gunning, Vietnam mode
|
| University and Fordham Road
|
| Moved to 120 when I got a little money
|
| Got a new whip and a wave lil' honey
|
| I was out!
|
| Now I’m in Brooklyn and I got my little body
|
| We don’t bother nobody
|
| I make my own moves
|
| Slide in the grooves
|
| I’m aware about Albee Square
|
| Nigga, I was there (in '89)
|
| Bitches pulling hair (knock your fronts out)
|
| No cameras was there
|
| Hoodie, 'lo gear
|
| «Go Brooklyn» in the air
|
| NA rocking pieces
|
| Went out to the Bush and heard dangerous diseases
|
| The God often eases in the hood
|
| From the ghetto, making good
|
| Now I’m settled off of X
|
| Seen Tek off of Lex
|
| Buffalo and St. John
|
| Where niggas walk around with only the horse on
|
| Ain’t no putting me on
|
| Brooklyn always take it
|
| Got down south niggas upstate trying to fake it
|
| «Oh, I’m from, uh, Bedford and… Nostrand»
|
| «Where you from, nigga?»
|
| «And all of those who live in Brooklyn know just what I’m talking» |
