Ha ha bust information technology yo
Sometimes I feel like I don't take 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 burn hey
Cause it'southward the B-the-R-the-O-the-O-Chiliad
L-Y-N is the place where I stay
The B-the-R-the-O-the-O-1000
Best in the world and all USA
It's the B-to-the-R-the-O-the-O-Grand
Fifty-Y-Due north is the place where I stay
The B-to-the-R-the-O-the-O-Yard
Place where I rest is on my born day
Bosom it, sometimes I sit back and merely reflect
Watch the world become by and my idea connect
I think most the time past and the fourth dimension to come
Reminisce on Bed-Stuy when I was pride and young
I used to endeavour and come, to the neighborhood function
Throw on my Izod, say a little something
When I was just a younging, before the days of thugging
How me and Charlie Chims (hey yo what?) I'chiliad only bugging
Fast frontwards, Nine-Now I gotta team my seed
I must go along at God's speed to perform my deed
Livin the now space and time, round the 9 to five
For every bit long equally I'1000 alive, paw I got to strive
I ain't sitting roadside, that ain't harder to program
I'g out here for my fam doing all that I can
I love my urban center, sugariness and gritty in country to outskirts
Nickname Bucktown cause we grown to flare-up
Philosophy redefine us, touch on mines I bear on dorsum
Walk the streets like a sweetness and get crush like drum tracks
Take hold of no shakes over jakes (boomp-boomp!) we bust back
Bring the marty to your face up wit no identify to run back
I'g from the slums that created the bass that thump dorsum
This own't a game clown, play ya James Brownish and jump back
What you want, Jack? Young cats stash they jums at
Draw they guns dorsum, momma screams where she sons at
Tryin to hunt that, recurring dream of loftier stakes
The quaternary largest, first creative person, Brooklyn is the identify
Settled by the judge many years ago
Three billion strong and here we go
Good forenoon Vietnam!
Ha (back up back up back up dorsum upwardly dorsum up)
Yo sometimes I sit back, reflect on the place that I live at
Unlike whatever place I ever been at
The home of big gats, deep dish hammer rim caps
Have a mishap, push button ya wig back
Where you go to get the fresh trim at
Four on the Jake got the Timb rack
Blue collars metro carding information technology
Thugs mobbing it, form partnership
Increment armorment, street chemist
Deep consequence, when yous seek sleek ornaments
You get caught, rode the white horse and can't become off
Big dogs that play a trick on off just get sent off
They shoebox stash is all they seeds gotta live off
Information technology's real yo but even so yo, it's love here
And information technology's felt by anybody that come up hither
Out of towners take the train, airplane and charabanc here
Must be something that they really desire here
I year as a resident, deeper sentiment
Shout out "Go Brooklyn!", they representing it
Sitting on they front stoop sipping Guinesses
Using native dialect in they sentences
From the treeline blocks to the tenements
To the Mom & Pop local store menaces
Travel all around the globe in not bad distances
And ain't a place that I know that acquit resemblance
That's why nosotros it The Planet
Not a civic or a prov, it's our way 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 Island
Friday night out in front end The Himalaya goin wild
This goes out to Crown Heights and Smurv Village
The nighties, and all my "yarda trenny" Dark-brown'south Village
Parkside tenants caught, thirties, forties, and the fifties
The cats out in Starite City gettin busy
To the Claw, to the East, to the Stuy
Bushwick and Kanarcy, Farraget, Fullgreen, and Marcy
My Flatbush posse, generals of armies
When it's time to form, merely telephone call me
And let this song exist, playing loud in Long B
If yous honey Bucktown strongly!
Raise it upwards!
Brooklyn my habitat, the place where it happen at
Live sway and the sharp remainder of the boxing axe
Irons is brandished at, thugs draw they hammer dorsum
It's where yous observe the news tool crew cameras at
Information technology'south where my fam is at, summertime jam is at
They play Large and go you lot open like a sandal back
Hotter than candle wax, hustling you lot tin can't relax
The cleft babies trying to observe where they mama'due south at
It'due south off the handle black, wit big police scandals that
Turn into actions screenplays sold to Miramax
The blazon of identify where they bank check your appearance at
And cats who know where all the hot 'lo gear is at
The stomping grounds, where you find a pound, fume is that
Be blazing amuse that have your wave cap floating dorsum
The doorstep where the dispossessed posted at
Dope fiends out at Franklin Ave selling zovarax
You big balling improve proceed your money folded back
Cause in one case the immature guns notice that it'southward over, black
Brooklyn go along on taking it, worldwide we known for that
Creamy cats get it snatched similar the local revenue enhancement
The place I sharpen up my baritone vocals at
Where one of the greatest MC'southward was a local true cat
