0:19New York New York is where we live and were thorough
0:22Never taking shorts 'cuz Brooklyns the borough
0:25Peace to uptown to queens and the bronx
0:27Long island and jersey get as fly as they want
0:30But I must tell you
0:31Where we rest is no joke
0:32So let me break it down to sections for you slowpokes
0:35Fort green bedstuy flatbush brownsville
0:37Crown heights and east new york will be down till
0:40Medina takes respect for the styles we bring
0:43'Cuz in Brooklyn we be into our own thing
0:45Alantic terminals redhook bushwick
0:48Come to Brooklyn frontin and youll get mushed quick
0:51We ain't just know for flipping and turning out parties
0:53But also for the take no b******t hotties
0:55On the subject of blackness well let me share this
0:58Brooklyn is the home for cultural awareness
1:00So in all fairness you can never compare this
1:03Some good some bad little hope for the weak
1:06Dangerous streets and coney island beach
1:08All this included when you go for a tour
1:11Some can get scandolous and outright raw
1:13When you step step correct and watch where you move
1:16We pay dues so we ain't trying to lose
1:18Here in Brooklyn
1:19The home of the black and the beautiful
1:21For a ruffrap sound ain't a place more suitable
1:24Other cities claim this and others claim that
1:26But let me give some props
1:27To the place where we be at
1:29BR double OKLYN
1:32I came in for a visit and ever since then
1:34I've been incorporated with select personel
1:36Right here in Brooklyn the place where we dwell
1:40Way down in Brooklyn
1:43Way down in Brooklyn
1:45Way down in Brooklyn
1:47Those who live in Brooklyn know just what I'm talking
1:49Peace to boston philly conneticut DC
1:52All the east coast cities are fly to me
1:54Peace to everybody down south and out west
1:57But for me Brooklyn new york is the best
2:00Don't be afraid to venture over the bridge
2:02Although you may run in to some wild a*s kids
2:04Take the j train the d or the a if you dare
2:07And the 2345 also comes here
2:10Theres so much to see 'cuz Brooklyns historic
2:13Fools act jealous but you have to ignore it
2:15So I just lounge wit the fat clientel
2:17Out here in Brooklyn the place where we dwell
2:21Way down in Brooklyn
2:23You know the place
