Hey hey ha ha say what say what
Ha ha bust it yo
Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner
Sometimes I feel like my only friend
Is the city I live in is beautiful brooklyn
Long as I live here believe I'm on fire hey
Cuz its the b the r the o the o k
L y n is the place where I stay
The b the r the o the o k
Best in the world and all usa
Its the b to the r the o the o k
L y n is the place where I stay
The b to the r the o the o k
Place where I rest is on my born day
Bust it sometimes I sit back and just reflect
Watch the world go by and my thought connect
I think about the time past and the time to come
Reminesce on bed stuy when I was pride and young
I used to try and come to the neighborhood function
Throw on my izod say a little something
When I was just a youngin before the days of thuggin
How me and charlie chims
Aiyyo what
I'm only buggin
Fast forward nine now I gotta team my seed
I must proceed at gods speed to perform my deed
Livin the now space and time round the nine to five
For as long as I'm alive paw I got to strive
I ain't sittin roadside that ain't harder to plan
I'm out here for my fam doin all that I can
I love my city sweet and gritty in land to outskirts
Nickname bucktown cuz we grown to outburst
Philosophy redefine us touch mines I touch back
Walk the streets like a sweet and get beat like drum tracks
Catch no shakes over jakes
Boomp boomp
We bust back
Bring the marty to your face wit no place to run back
I'm from the slums that created the bass that thump back
This ain't a game clown play ya james brown and jump back
What you want jack young cats stash they jums at
Draw they guns back momma screams where she sons at
Tryin to hunt that recurring dream of high stakes
The fourth largest first artist brooklyn is the place
Settled by the judge many years ago
Three billion strong and here we go
*part two*
Good morninnnnnnnnngg vietnam
Ha
Back up back up back up back up back up
*repeated in background*
Yo sometimes I sit back reflect on the place that I live at
Unlike any place I ever been at
The home of big gats deep dish hammer rim caps
Have a mishap push ya wig back
Where you go to get the fresh trim at
Four on the jake got the timb rack
Blue collars metro carding it
Thugs mobbin it form partnership
Increase armorment street pharmacist
Deep consequence when you seek sleek ornaments
You get caught rode the white horse and can't get off
Big dogs that trick off just get sent off
They shoebox stash is all they seeds gotta live off
Its real yo but still yo its love here
And its felt by anybody that come here
Out of towners take the train plane and bus here
Must be something that they really want here
One year as a resident deeper sentiment
Shoutout go brooklyn they representin it
Sittin on they front stoop sippin guinesses
Usin native dialect in they sentences
> from the treeline blocks to the tenaments
To the mom &pop local shop menaces
Travel all around the world in great distances
And ain't a place that I know that bear resemblance
That's why we it the planet
Not a borough or a prov its our style that's uncalm
> from sun to the to the lafayette gardens
White coff guawinas in they army jacket linings
Yo this goes out to my cats in coney isle
Friday night out in front the himalaya goin wild
This goes out to crown heights and smurv village
The nighties and all my yarda trenny browns village
Parkside tennants caught thirties forties and the fifties
The cats out in starite city gettin busy
To the hook to the east to the stuy
Bushwick and kanarcy farraget fullgreen and marcy
My flatbush posse generals of armies
When its time to form just call me
And let this song be playin loud in long b
If you love bucktown strongly
Raise it up
*part three*
Brooklyn my habitat the place where it happen at
Live sway and the sharp balance of the battle axe
Irons is brandished at thugs draw they hammer back
Its where you find the news tool crew cameras at
Its where my fam is at summertime jame is at
They play big and get you open like a sandal back
Hotter than candle wax hustlin you can't relax
The crack babies tryin to find where they mamas at
Its off the handle black wit big police scandals that
Turn into actions screenplays sold to miramax
The type of place where they check your appearance at
And cats who know where all the high low gear is at
The stompin grounds where you find a pound smoke is that
Be blazin charm that have your wave cap floatin back
The doorstep where the disposessed posted at
D**e fiends out at franklin ave sellin zovarax
You big ballin better keep your money folded back
Cuz once the young guns notice that its over black
Brooklyn keep on takin it worldwide we known for that
Flossy cats get it snatched like the local tax
The place I sharpen up my baritone vocals at
Where one of the greatest mcs was a local cat
