67
Well it's the 718 and everything is straight
68
...
69
(All)
70
We live in Brooklyn
71
(Butterfly)
72
With the type street curb hangers and the beat don't
73
Shtop
74
(All)
75
We live in Brooklyn
76
(Doodlebug)
77
It's no lie, do or die in the land of show and prove
78
(All)
79
We live in Brooklyn
80
(Ladybug)
81
Well Keith, Cee-Know, my fist and Butter's 'fro
82
(All)
83
We live in Brooklyn
84
(Guru)
85
The fly clothes, cash flow, and crazy L's to spark
86
(Ladybug)
87
It's crowded plus they jerkin my space
88
Shouted cause they chase when I strut out
89
Sift through my block I'm c-cool
90
She's my mood to brace
91
Stole my mind back black
92
So what you play the boards
93
Skimmer we got butter so surfaces out
94
Clever, and I fix it for you, funk time is monk time
95
Slackers hit the bat, blackest fit my pack
96
And we for whatever
97
We get down in this pleasure heavy
98
And we are measured by the tens degrees of math
99
In a puzzle hand locked, clocked in struggle
100
Can't keep the three foot three above mec
101
In so depth I defect
102
(Ladybug & Doodlebug)
103
With my vanguard squad the gods in brooklyn
104
(Doodlebug)
105
And we troopin throught the Fulton forkways
106
The eastern parkways
107
I'm broader than broadway, nothing more than morays
108
I sways, why cause I'm a Brooklyn stroller
109
No ones cooler, pigs on my boulder
110
So I switch my pitch as I stretch down Atlantic
111
Strictly slickly with my fork mean tactic
112
In fact it's really on the daily
113
Kids with guns and herbs look for herbs
114
Now I think you feel me
115
I freaks it, cause yo like my pimp stroll is cool
116
When I creeps up the sweet and jeeps blast
117
Tools rule the area, yo these fool don't play
118
I got the comrades of love, so the g stays
119
Brooklyn side with the crooklyn slide
120
(All)
121
We live in Brooklyn
122
(Ladybug)
123
Out on Fulton ave. where the honeys be at
124
(All)
125
We live in Brooklyn
126
(Guru)
127
Type slick, keep it movin when it's after dark
128
(All)
129
We live in Brooklyn
130
(Butterfly)
131
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh
132
(Doodlebug)
133
No lies, do or die in the land of show and prove
134
(Guru)
135
The place where I dwell is where the warriors dwell
136
Too many stories to tell
137
So on the block we don't talk
138
Stack of loot takin propers
139
Might get a serious offer from a corrupt ass copper
140
So um, stop the nonsense
141
Brooklyn is the illest, the realest
142
Observe these words as I reveal this
143
Man my peoples out here they get down for this
144
Each one's a one man gang with a crown for this
145
Man burners to handle any business
146
And mad sneaky ways so ain't leavin any witness
147
Got way more drama the theatrical lessons
148
So my suggestion, you come correct no question
149
Cause if you comin with that funny hot dog style
150
You might get looted, executed black mob style
151
From east new york back to ft. green
152
Brooklyns' classic mystical magic scene
153
(Butterfly)
154
We are plush like a million bucks
155
Down every ave for like a zillion blocks
156
Blowin out
157
With my nappy hoods down Fulton
158
Bless and guess style limpin past the Walt Whitman
159
Steelo's changed on the corners we hang
160
The crime stoppers get mad with poppers and tens
161
And my scrambles ample kid, no part timin, just rhymin
162
In other words, I play these curbs, with j u ice
163
When they say you nice, I say son a little somethin
164
Brooklyn's asphalt rolls like a syl keith rodeo
165
We bump the big sound, down and gritty
166
Record and mic checkin, no question, this section of
167
New york city
168
Where the crooks lounge out, block powers found
169
Butterfly ground the sky favorite package of pound
170
It's like th-that, the beats know we be strappin em out
171
Mad moneys wish they g like us, clout
172
When I'm in the boogie I'm imported, I study chairman Mao
173
Ain't nothin but crooklyn in my plasma now
