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 it's 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   It's 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 God's 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      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   It's real yo but still yo, it's love here   And it's 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, it's 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? Brown's 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 it's time to form, just call me   And let this song be, playin loud in Long B   If you love Bucktown STRONGLY!   RAISE IT UP!      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   It's where you find the news tool crew cameras at   It's 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 mama's at   It's 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 hot 'lo 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   Dope fiends out at Franklin Ave sellin zovarax   You big ballin better keep your money folded back   Cuz once the young guns notice that it's 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 MC's was a local cat
