Little Jackie - The Stoop lyrics

This stoop is my throne, this hood is my home And the sky's always blue by the brownstones We in Brooklyn, it ain't no Beverly Hills Basically we pay bills, then chill It's like east coast bliss, it's like west coast diss We do it like this and you seal it with a kiss And a pound, that's just how it go down It's the protocol, do you feel me all? Saturday afternoon is all about the 9 to 4 And tonight we're gonna do it some more Sunday mornin' hear the bands in the church play All day long, every block there's a new song Sittin' on the stoop in Bed-Stuy Always sayin' hi when the brothers walk by Just got the etiquette, sittin' on the top step With a bag of chips, sit back, relax, enjoy the trip We got a neighborly philosophy I don't mess with you, you don't mess with me It is what it is, it ain't all hard up in the hood Sittin? on my front stoop and it's all good Boys in white beaters and corn rolls Wear their pants down low so their briefs can show Girls be always dressed up, givin' their best stuff Workin? that hairdo, boys are gonna bless you Always some commotion at the corner store That the corner cops chose to ignore Everybody write tune to a different song When they pa** by I bob my head along I don't spark spliffs but don't mind the aroma If the deli out of Stella then I settle for Corona And I claim my spot for the evenin? Let the part begin, we gonna do it again Sittin? on the stoop in Bed-Stuy Always sayin' hi when the brothers walk by Just got the etiquette, sittin' on the top step With a bag of chips, sit back, relax, enjoy the trip We got a neighborly philosophy I don't mess with you, you don't mess with me It is what it is, it ain't all hard up in the hood Sittin? on my front stoop and it's all good It's all good, it's all good 'Cause I love my hood, love my hood It's all good, it's all good 'Cause I love my hood, love my hood Sittin? on the stoop in Bed-Stuy Always sayin' hi when the brothers walk by Just got the etiquette, sittin' on the top step With a bag of chips, sit back, relax, enjoy the trip We got a neighborly philosophy I don't mess with you, you don't mess with me It is what it is, it ain't all hard up in the hood Sittin' on my front stoop and it's all good
