Bklyn

Welcome one, welcome all
 I'm gonna take you on a short journey through Brooklyn
 Home of the Notorious B.I.G
 Rest in Power king
 The late Sean P, Rest in Power King
 Guru Rest in Peace
 Let's pay homage, rest in peace to all
 The fallen soldiers in the struggle
 Brooklyn Baby, spread love
 That's the Brooklyn Way
 Brooklyn New York City
 Those who live in Brooklyn know just what I'm talking
 Brooklyn New York City where they pain murals of Biggie
 Let's start from the place where
 Stars is created other incarcerated
 Barber shops top 5 artist'll get debated
 Icons is celebrated Hip hop was elevated
 Success next to the jaded felons who fell in the matrix
 Underworld black economy flourish so many tourists
 Many determined to make it some depressed and discouraged
 Cutthroat skirmishes amongst the
 Murderers gorgeous ladies on Flatbush
 Walk around with provocative curvature
 Others evicted on the corner with their furniture
 Snakes they want a hand out never wanna earn with cha
 Cut em lose luxury coupes hustlers move stuck in a slave
 Record deal thousands of bucks to recoup
 Cuffing this loot stomp the pavement with construction boots
 Winners always bounce back other self-destruct when they lose
 Plus government corruption is true not a conspiracy
 Where you'll see ya favorite rapper move without security
 It's Brooklyn
 It's yet to be determined if you certified
 Perspective non-commercialized
 After the death of a rapper only the words survived
 Only the greatest leave a legacy
 I do this for my therapy cause cops be locking us up arbitrarily
 Skating in a Jeep Cherokee presidential like I'm Aristide
 Cats'll try stick you for a pair of jeans
 Bedstuy to Bushwick pushing them whips
 More then half hour to Coney Island Brooklyn is big
 U can't survive on just single hustle crime
 Masterminds will throw u in casket without moving a single muscle
 Chicks front like love you they wanna rob ya
 Cheesing like you hit the Lotto gassed up thinking you with a model
 Non-fiction novel everyday unraveling
 The realist move in silence perpetrators keep on babbling
 Baseheads and alcoholics zombies on the sidewalks
 Arguments is always sparking up just peep the dialogue
 Children on they way to class we hood and not ashamed of that
 They love us got my buzz up now I'm getting paid in cash
 Notorious for griminess and slang kid
 It's Brooklyn you know what time it is we do our thang
 Gotta be chemicals in the water
 We drinking that make us different
 Got us thinking of more creative ways to make a living cause
 Everybody scheming the populations increasing
 The blocks is getting gentrified and
 Profits getting squeezed
 We keep our legends memories alive on the wall
 Sean p died and we celebrate the life of the God
 Hop on the Q cross over the bridge to make moves
 Be cautious cause these snakes will try to eliminate you
 East New York to Brownsville, Flatbush too
 Every soldier is official not ya average crew
 Serenaded by Ambulance sirens at night
 A grimy gentleman I had to learn to balance it right
 Peep the scenery mahogany police up in the lobby
 My neighbor from the next door recently caught a robbery
 Its death or jail so much pressure even best fail
 Y'all live large we be living in double XL
 You can tell from the motion and the way that we walk
 What we repping is that Brooklyn
 New York don't get it twisted
