Tekst :

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...

You can depend on certainty
count it out and weigh it up again
you can be sure you ve reached the end
and still you don t feel
you know anything

do you know you re beautiful
you are
yes you are...

My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day s a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride

If today was your last day
and tomorrow was too...

Jestem przez was przytłoczony, genetycznie obciążony
Czuję wielką słabość w sobie, dla nich jestem nikt
Czuję się jak ktoś przegrany, w tłumie ludzi niewidzialny
Chyba jestem niepotrzebny, jest mnie coraz mniej

Zawsze sobie golę głowę, nie kupuję tylko biorę
Nie potrafię robić nic, tylko rzeczy złe
Nienawidzę bycia miłym,...

[Chorus: Guru]
Riot act, this is where we really prepare
Riot act, out here we show no fear
RIOT ACT, time to protect our communities
Riot act, real criminals get immunity

Believe it or not everyone have things that they hide
Believe it or not everyone keep most things inside
Believe it or not everyone believe in something above
Believe it or not everyone need to feel loved, feel loved
But we don t and we won t
Until we figure...
