Why you talk like that, Why you walk like that, why you act like that/ (im from brooklyn)
Why you rap like that, why you lit like that, how you get like that/ (im from brooklyn) [4]

1st VERSE
Im so Brooklyn like im Hollywood Play/ when i get the money to leave i prolly will stay/ how much you wanna bet we got the grimiest streets/ to paint the picture i went and got the grimiest beat/(4)
You know you better remember that the streets ain't fair/
Hoping to find love but the streets ain't care/ all of your love ones expect for you to be there/ Stand on ya own 2 but we dont see your pair/(8)
Brooklyn, we automatically winners/ just like the day you was we automatically sinners/
Now im taking advantage of my 15 minutes/ cuz i remember when BIG told us the sky was the limit/(12)
Yeah, im never letting you stop me/ .just because im confident doesnt mean that im cocky/
When you on a team you do what best for the posse/ Everybody can't be mike, somebody gotta be scottie/(16)
