Breukelen "Brooklyn" (feat. Smif-N-Wessun)

The sound of Brooklyn

We gets down in Brooklyn

We move around in Brooklyn

The town is Brooklyn

Bed-Stuy, Flatbush, Brownsville, Crown Heights

Where the music feels good and it sounds right

Summertime, music in the park

We can do this in the dark, we don't even need no streetlights

We bright, look how we all shine (Look)

We all tryna live so we all grind (Grind)

And then we started sayin', "Crooklyn"

Had everybody thinkin' it was all crime (Stick 'em up)

Shout it out to Spike Lee

And the dude on the corner in the white tee

And the girl off the block with the attitude

Had to write a song, show my gratitude (Welcome)

Welcome to my city, man

To the streets where the late, great Biggie ran

And damn near everyone's a Biggie fan

That's 'cause we support our own

The sound of Brooklyn

We gets down in Brooklyn

We move around in Brooklyn

(B-R-double-O-K-L-Y-N) The town is Brooklyn

Big Daddy Kane is synonymous, Jay-Z's synonymous

Sean P's synonymous, I'm just tryna honor this

Place that we call home, Brook-Nam

Look, I'm really just tryna make you proud like, "Look, mom"

I'm tryna make you smile like, "Look, dad"

Got the nets on the fitted and the book bag (Nice)

And you know the Timbs clean

On these bars, we go in like a swim team (Say what?)

Brooklyn be the pedigree

If you find somethin' wild, set it free (Set it free)

Set it free and watch it go

Then give it to the world and watch it grow ('Cause you know)

'Cause you know we everywhere

Disrespect my home, you will never dare (Never)

'Cause you get mushed quick

Coney Island, Red Hook, Fort Greene, Bushwick

The sound of Brooklyn

We gets down in Brooklyn

We move around in Brooklyn

(B-R-double-O-K-L-Y-N)

(B-R-double-O-K-L-Y-N) The town is Brooklyn

Marco, you made it here

Gang Starr, y'all made it here

Even though y'all wasn't born here, still y'all made it here

And now it's like you one of us

And we all tied together like some braided hair (Yeah)

Dumbo to Clinton Hills

Gentrified and the tension builds (Builds)

But we find a way to live together

Wish we could find a way to live forever (Forever)

Either way, the music will (Tell me)

What I gotta do to prove it's real? (Tell me)

What I gotta do to make it clear?

You can make it anywhere if you can make it here

Little Kim's synonymous

Foxy, Fabulous, Maino's, synonomous (Say what?)

In a world full of promises, Smif-N-Wesson, Bucktown

What I'm tryna honor is Brooklyn

The sound of Brooklyn

We gets down in Brooklyn

We move around in Brooklyn

(B-R-double-O-K-L-Y-N)

(B-R-double-O-K-L-Y-N) The town is Brooklyn
