Brooklyn

Lyrics to ';Brooklyn'; by Mos Def (Just the first part)

Hey hey, ha ha say what say what

Ha ha bust it yo

Sometimes I feel like I don%26#39;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%26#39;m on fire hey

Cuz it%26#39;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%26#39;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%26#39;m only buggin

Fast forward, Nine-Now I gotta team my seed

I must proceed at God%26#39;s speed to perform my deed

Livin the now space and time, round the nine to five

For as long as I%26#39;m alive, paw I got to strive

I ain%26#39;t sittin roadside, that ain%26#39;t harder to plan

I%26#39;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%26#39;m from the slums that created the bass that thump back

This ain%26#39;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

Brooklyn

Here is another one:

LTT, Lotupath, Chipper, Nic and now Matte?

Be afraid, be very afraid.

you know I am...............

I was just thinking the same thing!! LOL

Ladies ..... ladies ..... ladies ..... don%26#39;t be affraid ..... come on in ..... the water is fine. The band could use a female lead singer. But just one thing bothers me ..... how come LTT got top billing ?

Hi

I am just glad to be mentioned with the other amazingly handsome and briliant men.........................I think. But if I am going to be in a band Lotus I think its going to be me and Sleeping V. making some crazy metal, maybe throw in some corpse paint in the mix. That would be lovely.

Sleeeping...what do you think??

Matte75

it%26#39;s getting a little scary again........

Lotus my brotha - suffering from Alpha-Poster syndrome are we? - the heat and humidity of the day affecting our perspective?

LTT ..... mlr ..... Matte ..... NYC Girl ..... NYWhiz ..... (or put that list in any order you like) ..... you guys just crack me up ! Reading the threads on the forum is so much better than when I used to resort to reading the graffitti on the bathroom stalls in Grand Central Station ..... except the winos and hobos can spell a lot better than most of the people here on the forum.

It%26#39;s too hot today ..... I%26#39;m going for my daily swim ..... keep up the good work ..... but please don%26#39;t post anything too funny till I get back !

Matte,

I%26#39;m IN!!!!!!!!!!!! What are we gonna call this new band of ours?

Just practising my guttural vox, now.....
