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...
