The Place Where We Dwell

We ain't just know for flipping and turning out parties

But let me give some props to the place where we be at

Peace to everybody down south and out west
We pay dues so we ain't trying to lose
Although you may run in to some wild ass kids
Other cities claim this, and others claim that
And the 2, 3, 4, 5 also comes here
But also for the take no bullshit hotties
All the east coast cities are fly to me
There's so much to see 'cuz Brooklyn's historic
But for me, Brooklyn, New York is the best
Fort Green, Bedstuy, Flatbush, Brownsville
Right here in Brooklyn, the place where we dwell
Brooklyn

Take the J train, the D or the A if you dare
On the subject of blackness, well let me share this
B R double O K L Y N, I came in for a visit and ever since then
So let me break it down to sections for you slowpokes
Crown Heights and East New York will be down till
Way down in Brooklyn
Peace to Uptown, to Queens and the Bronx
Brooklyn is the home for cultural awareness
Some good, some bad, little hope for the weak
For a ruff rap sound, ain't a place more suitable

Atlantic Terminals, Redhook Bushwick
When you step, step correct and watch where you move
But I must tell ya, where we rest is no joke
Know just what I'm talking about

Out here in Brooklyn, the place where we dwell
Way down in Brooklyn, way down in Brooklyn
Peace to Boston, Philly, Connecticut, DC
Come to Brooklyn frontin' and you'll get mushed quick
Some can get scandalous and outright raw
Fools act jealous but you have to ignore it

Dangerous streets and Conney Island beach

All this included when you go for a tour
'Cuz in Brooklyn, we be into our own thing
So in all fairness, you can never compare this
Don't be afraid to venture over the bridge
So I just lounge wit the fat client�le
Here in Brooklyn, the home of the black and the beautiful
Long Island and Jersey get as fly as they want
I've been incorporated with select personnel
Medina takes respect for the styles we bring
Way down in Brooklyn, those who live in Brooklyn
