Brooklyn we go hard
|
We on the look for the advantage, we work hard
|
And if we seem to rough it up a bit
|
We broke but we rich at heart
|
Pull ourselves up now we won't choke
|
It's our time, put the lights on us.
|
|
War tactics, they make me sick
|
Reel your heart in, run away with it
|
Smile in your face, undermine your back
|
Got guns for the strength they lack.
|
So if you know another way
|
You can't look the other way
|
If you know another way
|
Tell them so right to their face.
|
|
We think you're a joke,
|
Shove your hope where it don't shine (x4)
|
|
I pay for what's called
|
Eccentricity and my will to evolve
|
I hear them all say
|
That I got heart
|
But not everything that it takes.
|
|
Taint my mind but not my soul
|
Tell you I got fire
|
I wont sell it for no payroll
|
Let 'em hold me down.
|
I know if I know another way
|
I can't look the other way
|
I know another way
|
I'll tell them so right to their face.
|
|
We think you're a joke,
|
Shove your hope where it don't shine. (x4)
|
|
(Rap Break)
|
|
We think you're a joke,
|
Shove your hope where it don't shine. (x4)
