Hey hey, ha ha say what say what
 Ha ha bust it yo
 Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner
 Sometimes I feel like my only friend
 Is the city I live in, is beautiful Brooklyn
 Long as I live here believe I'm on fire hey
 Cuz it's the B-the-R-the-O-the-O-K
 L-Y-N is the place where I stay
 The B-the-R-the-O-the-O-K
 Best in the world and all USA
 It's the B-to-the-R-the-O-the-O-K
 L-Y-N is the place where I stay
 The B-to-the-R-the-O-the-O-K
 Place where I rest is on my born day
 Bust it, sometimes I sit back and just reflect
 Watch the world go by and my thought connect
 I think about the time past and the time to come
 Reminesce on Bed-Stuy when I was pride and young
 I used to try and come, to the neighborhood function
 Throw on my Izod, say a little something
 When I was just a youngin, before the days of thuggin
 How me and Charlie Chims (aiyyo what?) I'm only buggin
 Fast forward, Nine-Now I gotta team my seed
 I must proceed at God's speed to perform my deed
 Livin the now space and time, round the nine to five
 For as long as I'm alive, paw I got to strive
 I ain't sittin roadside, that ain't harder to plan
 I'm out here for my fam doin all that I can
 I love my city, sweet and gritty in land to outskirts
 Nickname Bucktown cuz we grown to outburst
 Philosophy redefine us, touch mines I touch back
 Walk the streets like a sweet and get beat like drum tracks
 Catch no shakes over jakes (boomp-boomp!) we bust back
 Bring the marty to your face wit no place to run back
 I'm from the slums that created the bass that thump back
 This ain't a game clown, play ya James Brown and jump back
 What you want, Jack? Young cats stash they jums at
 Draw they guns back, momma screams where she sons at
 Tryin to hunt that, recurring dream of high stakes
 The fourth largest, first artist, Brooklyn is the place
 Settled by the judge many years ago
 Three billion strong and here we go

[Mos Def]
 GOOD MORNINNNNNNNNNGG VIETNAM!!!
 Ha (back up back up back up back up back up) [repeated in background]
 Yo sometimes I sit back, reflect on the place that I live at
 Unlike any place I ever been at
 The home of big gats, deep dish hammer rim caps
 Have a mishap, push ya wig back
 Where you go to get the fresh trim at
 Four on the jake got the Timb rack
 Blue collars metro carding it
 Thugs mobbin it, form partnership 
 Increase armorment, street pharmacist
 Deep consequence, when you seek sleek ornaments
 You get caught, rode the white horse and can't get off
 Big dogs that trick off just get sent off
 They shoebox stash is all they seeds gotta live off
 It's real yo but still yo, it's love here
 And it's felt by anybody that come here
 Out of towners take the train, plane and bus here
 Must be something that they really want here
 One year as a resident, deeper sentiment
