This stoop if my throne
This hood is my home
And the sky's always blue by the brownstones
We in Brooklyn, it ain't no Beverly Hills
Basically we pay bills, then chill
It's like east coast bliss, it's like west coast diss
We do it like this and you seal it with a kiss
And a pound, that's just how it go down
It's the protocol, do you feel me all?

Saturday afternoon is all about the 9 to 4
And tonight we're gonna do it some more
Sunday morning hear the bands in the church play
All day long, every block there's a new song

Sitting on the stoop in the *(?)*
Always sayin hi when the brothas walk by
Just caught the etiquette
Sitting on the top step
With a bag of chips, sit back, relax, enjoy the bricks
We got a neighborly philosophy
I don't mess with you, you don't mess with me
It is what it is, it ain't all hard up in the hood
Sittin on my front stoop and it's all good

Boys in wife beaters and corn rolls
Wear their pants down low so their briefs can show
Girls be always dressed up
Giving their best stuff
Workin that hairdo
Boys are gonna bless you
Always some commotion at the corner store
That the corner cops chose to ignore
Everybody ride tone to a different song
When they pass by I bob my head along

I can't *(?)* but don't mind the aroma
If the delli out of *(?)* then I settle for corona
And I claim my spot for the evening
Let the part begin, we gonna do it again

Sitting on the stoop in the *(?)*
Always sayin hi when the brothas walk by
Just caught the etiquette
Sitting on the top step
With a bag of chips, sit back, relax, enjoy the bricks
We got a neighborly philosophy
I don't mess with you, you don't mess with me
It is what it is, it ain't all hard up in the hood
Sittin on my front stoop and it's all good

It's all good
It's all good
Cause I l-l-l-l-love my hood
L-l-l-l-love my hood
It's all good
It's all good
Cause I l-l-l-l-love my hood
L-l-l-l-love my hood

Sitting on the stoop in the *(?)*
Always sayin hi when the brothas walk by
Just causing etiquette
Sitting on the top step
With a bag of chips, sit back, relax, enjoy the bricks
We got a neighborly philosophy
I don't mess with you, you don't mess with me
It is what it is, it ain't all hard up in the hood
Sittin on my front stoop and it's all good
