readnex poetry squad – a tree grows in a place called home lyrics
this was for brooklyn, brooklyn
brooklyn was my best friend, back when i started that
when i was just a little kid, you showed me where my heart is
brooklyn, heart is, brooklyn, come on, yeah, we falling on the track, yeah
looking back, always try to do the right thing like spike
never left the house if i didn’t have mike
jordan on the feet, tyson’s on the street and jackson on the beat
and what about johnson? come on ask for the weekend
lighten up the track in the night like a beacon
who’s in the cypher, … puerto rican
and i’m nothing that called brooklyn
some say we beat so they called it crooklyn
home of the dodgers, i guess they saw the dodges
never mind that, cause it’s not where you’re from
it’s where you’re at
between ps 46 156, browns filled brooklyn was all up in a mix
blake avenue, what have you? on a friday, … in the bas-m-nt drinking liquor bumping ashanti
fort green, right across the parkway, on a sat-rday, mama’s in the kitchen with the salt fish and gates
i was outside, on the crates, getting shaved , while i was outside shooting ball in the crates
and my uncle’s inside and he’s digging in the crates
8 track 2 vinyls, cd’s and tapes, we always spitting bars, just to watch us escape
music is the key and brooklyn was my best friend back when i started that
when i was just a little kid, you showed me where the heart is
brooklyn, heart is, brooklyn, brooklyn
brooklyn i’m never alone, been with me since i’ve started
been the place that i call home, always where i party
brooklyn, party, this stands for brooklyn
double dutch …sucking on a lollypop, come on
drug dealers on the corner they make the block hot
grandma’s at the window and she was the cop watch
pop rocks and crack rock dj make the records drop, at the block party
naughty by nature, cause i hate you, bring it back
1998 somewhere in a high-school living up state
still reminiscence on what we had
memories of you is all i have, … taking my transport back
from the bridge to the ridge, i’m upstate too
2010 got my upstate crew, even tough i’m here reminiscence over you
even tough i’m here reminiscence over you, over you, so true
they say a tree grows here, from fort green to establish … we streets don’t fear
gotta be more clear, swell in the county of kings that sums the folks that we hold hands
sincere, we hold hands, hands high your representation, was here before gentrification
now bless in the nation, the way spread love in fact push that love till it descends like
brooklyn was my best friend, back when i started that
when i was just a little kid, you showed me where my heart is
brooklyn, heart is, brooklyn, come on, yeah, we falling on the track, yeah
brooklyn i’m never alone, been with me since i’ve started
been the place that i call home, always where i party
brooklyn, party, brooklyn, brooklyn, we’re here for brooklyn
