| Verse one： | |
| 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... |
