Jeah
2
Yeah, yeah
3
How real is this, how real is this
4
Inspect this here, check
5
I'm from where the hammer's rung new's cameras never come
6
You and your man houndin' every verse in your rhyme
7
Where the grams is slung, niggas vanish every summer
8
Where the blue vans would come we throw the work in the can and run
9
Where the plans was to get funds and skate off the set
10
To achieve this goal quicker, sold all my weight wet
11
Faced with immeasurable odds still I get straight bets
12
So I felt some more something and you nothing check
13
I from the other side with other guys don't walk to much
14
And girls in the projects wouldn't fuck us if we talked too much
15
So they ran up town and sought them dudes to trust
16
I don't know what the fuck they thought those niggas is foul just like us
17
I'm from where the beef is inevitable, summertime's unforgetable
18
Boosters in abundance, buy a half-price sweater new
19
Your world was everything, so everything you said you'd do
20
You did it, couldn't talk about it if you ain't lived it
21
I from where niggas pull your car, and argue all day about
22
Who's the best MC's, Biggie, Jay-Z, and Nas
23
Where the drugs Czars evolve, and thugs always are
24
At each other's throats for the love of foreign cars
25
Cats catch cases, hoping the judge R and R's
26
But most times find themselves locked up behind bars
27
I'm from where they ball and breed rhyme stars
28
I'm from Marcy son, just thought I'd remind y'all
29
Cough up a lung, where I'm from, Marcy son, ain't nothing nice
30
Mentally been many places but I'm Brooklyn's own
31
Cough up a lung, where I'm from, Marcy son, ain't nothing nice
32
Mentally been many places but I'm Brooklyn's own
33
Cough up a lung, where I'm from, Marcy son, ain't nothing nice
34
Mentally been many places but I'm Brooklyn's own
35
Cough up a lung, where I'm from, Marcy son, ain't nothing nice
36
I'm from the place where the church is the flakiest
37
And niggas is praying to God so long that they Atheist
38
Where you can't put your vest away and say you'll wear it tomorrow
39
'Cause the day after we'll be saying, damn I was just with him yesterday
40
I'm a block away from Hell, not enough shots away from straight shells
41
An ounce away from a triple beam still using a hand-held weight scale
42
Your laughing, you know the place well
43
Where the Liqour Store's and the base well
44
And Government, fuck Government, niggas polotic themselves
45
Where we call the cops the A-Team
46
'Cause they hop out of vans and spray things
47
And life expectancy so low we making out wills at eight-teen
48
Where how you get rid of guys who step out of line, your rep solidifies
49
So tell me when I rap you think I give a fuck who criticize?
50
If the shit is lies, God strike me And I got a question
51
Are you forgiving guys who live just like me? We'll never know
52
One day I pray to you and said if I ever blow, I let 'em know
53
Mistakes ain't exactly what takes place in the ghetto
54
Promise fulfilled, but still I feel my job ain't done
55
Cough up a lung, where I'm from, Marcy son, ain't nothing nice
56
Cough up a lung, where I'm from, Marcy son, ain't nothing nice
57
Mentally been many places but I'm Brooklyn's own
58
Cough up a lung, where I'm from, Marcy son, ain't nothing nice

Mentally been many places but I'm Brooklyn's own

Mentally been many places but I'm Brooklyn's own
62
Cough up a lung, where I'm from, Marcy son, ain't nothing nice
63
I'm from where they cross-over and clap boards
64
Lost Jehovah in place of rap lords, listen
65
I'm up the block, round the corner, and down the street
66
From where the pimps, prostitutes, and the drug lords meet
67
We make a million off of beats, 'cause our stories is deep
68
And fuck tomorrow, as long as the night before was sweet
69
Niggas get lost for weeks in the streets, twisted off weed
70
And no matter the weather, niggas know how to draw heat
71
Whether your four-feet or minute size, it always starts out with
72
Three dice and shoot the five
73
Niggas thought they douce was live, and now hit 'em with trips
74
And I reached down for their money, pa forget about this
75
This time around it's platinum, like the shit on my wrist
76
And this glock on my waist, y'all can't do shit about this
77
Niggas will show you love, that's how they fool thugs
78
Before you know it your lying in a pool of blood
79
Cough up a lung, where I'm from, Marcy son, ain't nothing nice

Mentally been many places but I'm Brooklyn's own

Cough up a lung, where I'm from, Marcy son, ain't nothing nice
84
Mentally been many places but I'm Brooklyn's own
85
Cough up a lung, where I'm from, Marcy son, ain't nothing nice
