Ill Bill - I'm From Brooklyn lyrics

(Verse 1: Ill Bill) Brooklyn be billions and billions, I be Brooklyn Bill It was Brooklyn where my uncle got hooked on krillz A billion warped thoughts travel through the grime in his mind A billion wars fought between crime designed in the devine A billion seconds ago, it was nineteen fifty-nine A billion minutes ago, Jesus Christ was alive A billion hours ago, we were living in the stone ages A billion dollars, the definition what c**aine is This be a Brooklyn thing where Kings stampede We got hundreds of greedy geniuses that get that cream Acopolco Gold grab dutches at the bodega Stuntin' in stashed Air Maxes, those are my most favourite We met fanphibian, f**ed up, I need lithium Sabotage my life with northern lights and pifium I been the illest William since Billy D. Sold Colt 45 of TV, it's really me, Billy Brooklyn (Chorus X 3) This is Brooklyn Br-br-br-br-br-Brooklyn I'm from BBr-br-br-br-br-Brooklyn Br-br-br-br-br-Brooklyn (Verse 2: Brooklyn Academy) Yeah, you love the way I'm a burrough sound chopped up f** around, that's exactly how you found, chopped up In? Can*l with a sock in your mouth inside a hefty bag Looking like Oscar the Grouch No future, It's Apocalypse Now You get blasted off, rocketship stlye Brooklyn bad, the beautiful, the bomb Its musical charm and I ain't talking Louie Vatton I'm talking Tim boots, baseball caps, and facemasks Polo patches, skully caps, and nap sacks Fat sacks of weed, half black and Japanese Drug pushers turning cats to catastrophe It ain't the movies, you ain't gonna believe Outsiders try to enter but they ain't gonna leave (Chorus) (Verse 3: Brooklyn Academy) I learned how to survive on the crossroads of a street and an avenue Where kids brawl over stick ball and use a bat for beating you black and blue Little ba*tards that would laugh at you if you were sweeter than pa**ion fruit Until your heart hardens on the streets with the Brooklyn attitude And we would rumble like the Jets and the Sharks But on Friday the spics and white chicks had s** in the park And we didn't give a f** from which section you are But if you gonna step to somebody, you step with some heart When we travel from Longbow to Marcey, from Partsworth to Canarsie The strong and thorough made a name like John Turtturo Our block was born so you'd lock your doors of fear of knocks The birthplace of Tupac Shakur This is Brooklyn, the shots? like poker face Carve your skin like a Jack-o-lantern and crack jokes like Adam Sandler Commit a crime with an open case, robbing armoured cars With the warrant squad chasing you in the dark through Pla**wood park (Chorus) (Verse 4: Brooklyn Academy) The Dodger's first home where I bought my first phone I had my first? , where I broke my first bone Flipped my first nick, where I got my first girlfriend to s** her first dick Where I ate Section 8, where I took my first sh** Where I had my first fight, where I joined my first gang Where I first broke night, hold tight, it's where I dropped my first shroom Where I took my first bump, where I heard my first tune thump Out Jamel's first Maxima trunk, after that, matter fact Actual fact, it's where I first landed a track in the lab with the AK The land that I rep go like? I fight for it like a Palestenian with a stone B-R double O-K Corral where the illest MC could come spit a loser's morale The most popular burrough where everyone wants to stay My home, our zone, all hail BK (Chorus)
