Lyrics
I come from Bed-Stuy
**** either do or they gon' die
Gotta keep your **** close by
Someone murdered
Nobody seen, nobody heard it
Just another funeral service
**** will get at you
Come through shining they yap you
In broad daylight, kidnap you
Let's get clapped through
Police stay on us like tattoos
**** only grind 'cause we have to
Money is power
Sling ****, powder
Fiends come through every hour
It's all about that dollar
And we no deal with cowards
Weak lamb get devoured
By the lion in the concrete jungle
The strong stand and rumble
The weak fold and crumble
It's the land of trouble
Brooklyn, home of the greatest rappers
BIG comes first, then the queen comes after
Now put your lighters up
Bed-Stuy
Put your lighters up
New York
Put your lighters up
D.C.
Keep putting your lighters up
Philadelphia
Put your lighters up
Detroit
Put your lighters up
Chi town
Keep putting them lighters up
No matter where you from
Put your lighters up
Now lemme give you a walkthrough
Show you what to do and you don't do
Where it's not safe to go to
Them boys approach you
Better say quick who you're close to
Don't come through if **** don't know you
'Cause people is talking
The street's is watching
The D's is lurking
Stash the **** in the garbage
The life of a hustler
The life of a gambler
Dice games kill more **** than cancer
You know who you're **** with
Brooklyn don't run, we run ****
Roll up and just bum rush ****
We don't play that out in BK, not at all
**** around leave your face on a wall
R.I.P, in memory of
Never show thy enemies love
We get it on where we live
Better have a pass when you cross that bridge
Welcome to Brooklyn
Put your lighters up
L.A.
Put your lighters up
VA.
Put your lighters up
Texas
Keep putting your lighters up
New Orleans
Put your lighters up
St. Louis
Put your lighters up
ATL
Keep putting them lighters up
No matter where you from
Put your lighters up
Damn homie I'm so toke
And I don't think I'm ever gon' smoke no more
And I don't think I'm ever gon' drink no more
But **** it bartender, you could give me one more
We in the club like
Damn homie I'm so toke
Lighting the **** like
And I don't think I'm ever gon' smoke no more
Passing the club like
And I don't think I'm ever gon' drink no more
Back at the **** like
**** it, bartender, you could give me one more
Zeen
See **** told you, I'm the hottest **** on the planet
Biggest sex symbol since Janet
There's a Zanotti bandit
Laying in the cut like a bandage
Come through Fulton Street in the vanquish
Doing the damage
And if you don't understand it
Then lemme give it to you in Spanish
Soy la señorita más linda del barrio
Sí, lo ves, hago afuera despacio
Still over in Brazil sippin' Mascoto
You must have forgot though
So I'ma take ya back to the block yo
Put you on to how we rock, yo
Summer boosting, twelve-year-olds prostituting
Hitmen hired for execution
There's no solution
**** still piss in the hallways
Fiends get **** in 'em all day
The youth them **** at the cops off the roof
You don't know, my town is the truth
Welcome to Brooklyn
Now put your lighters up
New Jersey
Put your lighters up
Boston
Put your lighters up
B'more
Keep putting your lighters up
Miami
Put your lighters up
Puerto Rico
Put your lighters up
Kingston, Jamaica
Keep putting them lighters up
No matter where you from
Put your lighters up
Damn homie I'm so toke
And I don't think I'm ever gon' smoke no more
And I don't think I'm ever gon' drink no more
But **** it bartender, you could give me one more
We in the club like
Damn homie I'm so toke
Lighting the **** like
And I don't think I'm ever gon' smoke no more
Passing the club like
And I don't think I'm ever gon' drink no more
Back at the bar like
But **** it, hey bartender, you could give me one more
Zeen
