Skyzoo, Pete Rock - Penny Jerseys lyrics

Brooklyn kids get biz
Shit, you know how it is
Yeah, my whole block was in Penny jerseys
Real shit, yeah
My whole block was in Penny jerseys
Let's take it there, uh

Brooklyn kids get biz and
Business forever flowing like
Get it how you know it like
It all becomes so alike
Being what you see till they put
The D's in the open right?
It always seems to get brightest
Under the lowest lights
We was tryna see what they try
And keep out the open right?
Motivated off being the 'need a motive' type
Know the shit that's waiting is giving way
To handing out dinner plates
And camping out sending strays
The balance of bigger names
My pop's name did it all
He said when a winner falls
Don't think he ain't win at all
Just think what that winning costs
And fuck tryna get a draw
Leroy Campbell shopping
He said it while getting art
Grew up where the walls was like a gallery
The park was like a canopy
And being under both is what provoke
What all the balance be
Seeing where the dope can help
You go is what emphatically
Kept me off the stoop more, truly yours
Then I threw my Penny's on
And my block hit a pause
Like, "Skyler them shit's is hard"
Then my block hit applause
'Cause I had the jersey with em
And it had just hit the stores
And my shit was low key
I was just living God
God help us to see what the park dealt us
Nothing repeated ever
Except when custies was eating better
They'd eat whatever i was running JV point
Getting my three together
Wrong time to be seeing better
It seemed to get us
Back when Illmatic was jumping up out a Rover
Double parked on Waverly
It started to relate to me
Drawn like it was made for me
Corner store drapery
But my handle was still there faithfully
When son was saying that he hold a Mack 11
And attacking a reverend it felt God sent
So we wasn't asking no questions
In front of the park bench where
We saw the manic depressives
That could make the floors lift when they
Got a pack of the essence
Thinking regardless
If we know that that's what's expected
Then we was all in to see
What's in back of the dresser
My peoples had older brothers
To give them access
I was older brother in my crib
Dough in the mattress
Still on my Penny shit though
Talking through any zip code
Corner 3 like a demo
'fore the semi's would hit though
I had the black away one and
I had the USA one
I wore em once a week and it
Felt like how Nas tape run
Henny was in the freezer, we caught a splash
Bitches would beep us and we'd be like where
These quarters at to call em back
Moms told me do what you do
But don't be rawing that
I used to try and rip by the
Stoop but shorties was off of that
I can bird box from the stoop
To where the corner at
And every hood feels like a loop
If you embark from that
Went to lunch with Penny and told
Him 'bout every part of that
We ordered the same plates
And then traded autographs

'Cause son
My whole block was in Penny jerseys
I wore mine and it felt like
The whole city heard me
Son, my whole block was in Penny jerseys
I wore mine and it felt like
The whole city heard me
Son, my whole block was in Penny jerseys
I wore mine and it felt like
The whole city heard me
Son, my whole block was in Penny jerseys
I wore mine and it felt like
The whole city heard me
