The Crooklyn Dodgers - Crooklyn lyrics

Yeah, we represent
Church Ave, Nostrand Ave in the house
Flatbush Ave
My brothers in Bed-Stuy, Throop Ave, word up
Fort Green, Crooklyn, yeah

"Straight from Crooklyn
Better known as Brooklyn"
"Never taking shorts 'cause
Brooklyn's the borough"

Panic, as another manic depressant
Adolescent stares at death
Now, what's left when there ain't no guide
And a whole lot of pride?
It might be a homicide
So let the drama slide
We don't want no problems, B
Get your name in the obituary column sheet
'Cause life is too short and
It just gets shorter


I wish I had a quarter for
All my people they slaughter
Last year alone, in the dead zone
Walk straight, but don't walk late
‘Cause I'm coming with a hate only
Made from what it made me
‘Cause nobody ever played me
Now it's only getting worse
Buckshot and Ace in the land of the waste
Kicking you in your face

We be doing it up Crooklyn STYYYYYLE
What does it take to get you WI I I I LD?
My mentality is getting iller, killer
Instinct is trying to infiltrate, but wait
I know you wanna enter but
I can't let you in
My mind-state's the maddest
I'm gone with the wind
Because it is survival of the fittest
When the shit hit's the fan
I got my shank in my hand
Black man with the permanent tan
I come from the 'Ville and never ran damn!

I'm feeling another part of reality
Hit me when I represent the FAP
Straight from the 'Ville
Tilden played the building
I mean literally when I say
"I’ll make a killing"
For my cipher, see, I'm fitna bust a piper
Original heads represent the
Brooklyn all-nighter
Do or die, I'm saying "It's you and I"
Bring your click
So we can get Stone like Family Sly
Peace to CI and the Bush mighty Mateen
Ruck and the Rock giving a push

"Straight from Crooklyn
Better known as Brooklyn"
"Never taking shorts 'cause
Brooklyn's the borough"
"Straight from Crooklyn
Better known as Brooklyn"
"Never taking shorts 'cause
Brooklyn's the borough"

We did it like that and now
We do it like this
We did it like that and now
We do it like this
Go inside your mind and find
A time that you miss
And just think about the steel in your fist
It's just an extension of your arm
It's that ghetto type of charm that
Makes all the homeboys swarm
Can I drop the bomb? Oh, yes, I can
Move with the groove, smooth like Geechie Dan
Who is the man? That kid there
Who is the chick with the pick in her hair?
Angela, uhh, Davis, and we roll like Avis
Rent-a-Car kid, there you are

You know where to find me
Whenever you need me
If you know the Ave, follow the path
To the land of the aftermath
But don't frolic in the midst
Crazy-ass Crooklyn kids
‘Cause they’re always throwing a
Body on my lawn
I'm getting a Rottweiler without a collar
Get off my block, boy, and give me a dollar
For the trouble or get blown up like a bubble

Now, let's take a sec to think back
To the year of the seven-O
When Brooklyn was the place to go
Flow on a journey up to Crown Heights
Ebbets Field feel the real-to-real
On your life
Trife individuals live in the PJ's
Dee Evil, check my DJ
Hey, play, what I wanna play in the day
But in the night, I feel the right
Took the left
Bucktown, Brooklyn, break it down
Heads from state to state
Travel as I unravel the rate
Howard, Tapscott, and Sutter
I remember way back in the days
Playing Hot Peas and Butter
Brother, if you want another lesson
Crooklyn session
Take it back, "Black Smif-N Wessun"

Press your luck
You’ll get stuck by Buck for your bucks
Masta Ace has the taste for
Ducks and duck sauce so tell Lord Digga
"Dig a grave for the bones
Sticks and stones" while I kick some ancient
Poems through your domes
Act went back to attack your homes
So, Tip, can I flip? (Yes, you can)
I'm in a World War with Muhammad, my man

Feels so good to be a Crooklyn Dodger
Uh huh, What’s Happening! to ReRun and Roger?
I think I seen 'em wearing Timberlands
And running down the block
From Dwayne, and Dwayne had a Glock
‘Cause he be selling rock
For the Partridge Family
And Reuben Kincaid drives a 300-E
And he be pimping Chrissy
From Three's Company
Plus he stuck Mr t for all his jewelry
This is a 70's thing from the days
When kids didn't act so crazed in Crooklyn

"Straight from Crooklyn
Better known as Brooklyn"
"Never taking shorts 'cause
Brooklyn's the borough"
"Straight from Crooklyn
Better known as Brooklyn"
"Never taking shorts 'cause
Brooklyn's the borough"
"Straight from Crooklyn
Better known as Brooklyn"
"Never taking shorts 'cause
Brooklyn's the borough"
"Straight from Crooklyn
Better known as Brooklyn"
"Never taking shorts 'cause
Brooklyn's the borough"
