2
Boom bash dash, I had to break, I had to getaway
3
Packed my bags, to leave for good, it was a Monday
4
Kissed my mother, gave my pops a pound
5
Then he hugged me, and then he turned around
6
I threw the duffelbag over my shoulder
7
It was time to get props kid, cause now I'm older
8
Time to fend for myself jack
9
So I'ma go for mine, and maybe never come back
10
Stopped at the lye spot before I hit the train station
11
Needed some boom for the mental relaxation
12
It took the last of my loot to make this move Troop
13
But I ain't even tryin to work in a suit
14
Plus my aunt's got a room that's for rent
15
As long as there's no hoes and I don't come home bent
16
So fuck the bullshit I'm audi
17
I'm on a mission, cause if I stay I'll go crazy
18
I'm gonna make it god damnit
19
Out in B-R-double-O-K-Lyn, The Planet
20
They never fake it just slam it
21
Out in B-R-O-O-K-Lyn, The Planet
22
Crash boom bang I used to hang at Four Corners
23
And all the spots in Beantown where niggaz carry burners
24
But I was more turned on by the micraphone
25
So one cold morning, I left home
26
Next I'm smokin blunts on ?
27
Or workin in a mail room Uptown, feelin sick and
28
tired, of payin all these fucked up dues
29
I wasn't tryin to lose -- I refused
30
Had a chick Uptown, one in Queens and one in Jersey
31
Sometimes all you need to get by, is a girlie
32
But yo I still wasn't happy
33
I seen a lot of ill shit on my block, happen nightly
34
East New York is no joke kid
35
And peace to my man Hass doin his bad
36
I went to Flatbush to buy incense and weed
37
Stopped at the bookstands for somethin to read
38
That shit was rough cause my pockets was bare
39
and like the sayin goes, sometimes life ain't fair
40
But in my heart there ain't no quittin
41
So I stayed up late, to write some rhymes to some rhythms
42
Seconds away from just flippin
43
But fuckit I'll maintain, one day I'll be hittin
44
See I'ma make it god damnit
45
Out in B-R-double-O-K-Lyn, The Planet
46
I'll never fake it just slam it
47
There in B-R-O-O-K-Lyn, The Planet
48
And you can, walk the walk talk the talk but don't flaunt
49
Cause little shorty's scheamin on your rings and fronts
50
but don't sweat it, cause that's the life out here
51
A lot of niggaz, be livin real trife out here
52
I got my own place in Bed-Stuy
53
Known to many others, as Do or Die
54
Malcolm X Boulevard and Gates Avenue
55
Smokin up the fat trey bags with the crew
56
Me and the niggaz Troy and Squeaky
57
Used to twist Dutch Masters, we got nice weekly
58
I used to build with the brothers by the spot
59
They had to hustle but they still knew a lot
60
To get my haircut had to go to Fort Greene
61
on Myrtle Ave, to get a fade with the sides clean
62
Then to Fulton just to look around
63
Just to roam around, and find a chick to go Uptown
64
and check a movie or some shit like that
65
I couldn't spend much but yo my game was fat
66
I remember this one chick, she brought me a beeper
67
Then one week later, she got me some sneakers
68
But then I stepped, cause I found out about her rep
69
And I ain't goin out bein no bitch's pet
70
But anyway I used to lay up in the crib
71
Listening to Red and Marley, wishin I was on kid
72
Saved my dough, stayed on the down low
73
Lounged and drank 40's with Tommy, Hill and Gunsmoke
74
And Lil' Dap used to come by strapped
75
Nice off a L cause we stayed like that
76
Sometimes I used to miss my moms
77
Gunshots in the twilight, people fightin every night
78
But I'ma be aight still
79
Cause I'ma keep writin shit and perfectin my skills
80
I'm gonna make it god damnit
81
Here in B-R-double-O-K-Lyn, The Planet
82
I never fake it just slam it
83
Here in B-R-O-O-K-Lyn, The Planet *echoes*
