The Place We Dwell

Verse one：

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 shit 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...
