rate me

This was for Brooklyn, Brooklyn

Brooklyn was my best friend, back when I started that

When I was just a little kid, you showed me where my heart is

Brooklyn, heart is, Brooklyn, come on, yeah, we falling on the track, yeah

Looking back, always try to do the right thing like Spike

Never left the house if I didn't have Mike

Jordan on the feet, ...on the street and Jackson on the beat

And what about Johnson? Come on ask for the weekend

Lighten up the track in the night like a beacon

Who's in the chipper, … Portorican

And I'm nothing that called Brooklyn

Some say we beat so they called it Crooklyn

Home of the Dodgers, I guess they saw the dodges

Never mind that, cause it's not where you're from

It's where you're at

Between ps 46 156, browns filled Brooklyn was all up in a mix

Blake Avenue, what have you? On a Friday, … in the basement drinking liquor bumping …

Fort Green, right across the parkway, on a Saturday, mama's in the kitchen with the salt …

I was outside, on the crates, getting shaved , while I was outside shooting ball in the crates

And my uncle's inside and he's digging in the crates

8 track 2 vinyls, cd's and tapes, we always spitting …, just to watch us escape

music is the key and Brooklyn was my best friend back when I started that

When I was just a little kid, you showed me where the heart is

Brooklyn, heart is, Brooklyn, Brooklyn

Brooklyn I'm never alone, been with me since I've started

Been the place that I call home, always where I party

Brooklyn, party, this stands for Brooklyn

Double dutch ...sucking on a lollypop, come on

Drug dealers on the corner they make the block …

Grandma's at the window and she was the cop watch

pop rocks … dj make the records drop, at the block party

Naughty by nature, cause I hate you, bring it back

1998 somewhere in a high-school living up state

still reminiscence on what we had

Memories of you is all I have, … you're my transport back

From the bridge to the ridge, I'm upstate too

2010 got my upstate crew, even tough I'm here reminiscence over you

even tough I'm here reminiscence over you, over you, so true

They say a tree grows here, from Fort Green to establish … we streets don't fear

gotta be more clear, swell in the county of kings that sums the folks that we hold hands

sincere, we hold hands, hands high your representation, was here before …

now bless in the nation, the way spread love in fact push that love till it descends like

Brooklyn was my best friend, back when I started that

When I was just a little kid, you showed me where my heart is

Brooklyn, heart is, Brooklyn, come on, yeah, we falling on the track, yeah

Brooklyn I'm never alone, been with me since I've started

Been the place that I call home, always where I party

Brooklyn, party, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, we're here for Brooklyn.<br />
