Brooklyn (Explicit) - Mos Def 歌词

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
