New York  New york is where we live and we're thorough
 Never taking shorts cuz Brooklyn's the borough
 Peace to Uptown  to queens and the Bronx
 Long Island and Jersey get as fly as they want
 Where we rest is no joke
 So let me break it down to sections for you slowpokes
 Fort Green  bedstuy  Flatbush  Brownsville
 Crown Heights and East New York will be down till
 Medina takes respect for the style's we bring
 Cuz in Brooklyn, we be into our own thing
 Alantic terminals, redhook bushwick
 Come to Brooklyn frontin, and you'll get mushed quick
 We ain't just know for flipping and turning out parties
 But also for the take no bullshit hotties
 On the subject of blackness, well let me share this
 Brooklyn is the home for cultural awareness
 So in all fairness, you can never compare this
 Some good, some bad. little hope for the weak
 Dangerous streets and Coney Island Beach
 All this included when you go for a tour
 Some can get scandolous and outright raw
 When you step, step correct and watch where you move
 We pay dues so we ain't trying to lose
 Here in Brooklyn
 The home of the black and the beautiful
 For a ruffrap sound, ain't a place more suitable
 Other cities claim this, and others claim that
 But let me give some props to the place where we be at
 B-R-double O- K-l-Y-N
 I came in for a visit and ever since then
 I've been incorporated with select personel
 Right here in Brooklyn, the place where we dwell

 Way down in Brooklyn (3x)
 Those who live in Brooklyn know just what I'm talking about

 Verse two:

 Peace to Boston, Philly, Conneticut, DC
 All the east coast cities are fly to me
 Peace to everybody down south and out west
 But for me, Brooklyn, New York is the best
 Don't be afraid to venture over the bridge
 Although you may run in to some wild ass kids
 Take the j train, the d or the a if you dare
 And the 2,3,4,5 also comes here
 There's so much to see cuz Brooklyn's historic
 Fools act jealous but you have to ignore it
 So I just lounge wit the fat clientel
 Out here in Brooklyn, the place where we dwell

 Way down in brooklyn
 You know the place
