[Chorus]

Lemme tell you where I grew up at

Sipped Mo', threw up at, flipped coke, blew up at

Where them fake thugs got they vestes chewed up at

Brooklyn beef, who want that?


[Verse 1]

I grew up in the thoroughest borough, BK

Where B.I.G. had everybody rockin' DK

Gav was the first dude with the CLK

And bricks was gettin' shipped out of East LA

It's Brooklyn, where niggas lives was tooken

Rich cats got knocked and they wives was tooken

Fort Greene and Hemlock, the fifth been cocked

We cried when they killed Lenox and popped them rocks

Ayo, y'all ain't hear what the **** I just said?

BK, the home of Biggie and Jay

Where niggas got Will Smith chips, get jiggy all day

Bitches that boost in the city all day

Heckle' and Koch, crack spots, federal watch

I grew up here, sipped Mo', threw up here

Yo, the feds snatched two up here in BK

Niggas in the hood in that all blue and grey

Gorillas got rich from stairwells and PA


[Chorus]

Lemme tell you where I grew up at

Sipped Mo', threw up at, flipped coke, blew up at

Where them fake thugs got they vestes chewed up at

Brooklyn beef, who want that?

Lemme tell you where I grew up at

Sipped Mo', threw up at, flipped coke, blew up at

Where them fake thugs got they vestes chewed up at

Brooklyn beef, who want that?


[Verse 2]

Brooklyn, the livest borough

You come here frontin', you might die in this borough

The East, the 'Ville and Bed-Stuy's in this borough

It's full of projects, the wildest borough

You try to figure out which side is thorough

From CI to Saint Marks is carryin' cons

Niggas rock Coogi and Dolce Gabbans

The women, they make a livin' just carryin' bombs

We pop corks a little bit, we floss a little bit

In the club buyin' out Cris', pour us a little bit

I told y'all that my borough was thorough

I know niggas that'll clap you up and bury the metal

Same day, still in the hood, we so ghetto

Brook-Nam, holla back, get your crook on

Live from the seven-one-eight, we raise the eight

Everytime papi raise the weight of that weight, motherfucker


[Chorus]

Lemme tell you where I grew up at

Sipped Mo', threw up at, flipped coke, blew up at

Where them fake thugs got they vestes chewed up at

Brooklyn beef, who want that?

Lemme tell you where I grew up at

Sipped Mo', threw up at, flipped coke, blew up at

Where them fake thugs got they vestes chewed up at

Brooklyn beef, who want that?


[Verse 3]

It's BK nigga, get your vest ate up

Over them chips, you could get SKed up

They find you in the back of the building, sprayed up

All for the love of this paper, we misled

By twenty-one, some'll be dead

By twenty-two, the rest of these dudes'll be in the feds

We got change but we still fucked up

Niggas is outta jail but they still locked up

The feds takin' flicks when we pullin' the drops up

BK open up, get popped up

You know it's the borough where cats drive with the box in they truck

Trey pound Glocked up, wrist be rocked up

Yellin' out, "Get down, lay down" when we pop up

Blocks so hot, we drive the drops with tops up

Windows tinted, you can't see who is in it

It's Brown nigga, I represent it, it's Brooklyn


[Chorus]

Lemme tell you where I grew up at

Sipped Mo', threw up at, flipped coke, blew up at

Where them fake thugs got they vestes chewed up at

Brooklyn beef, who want that?

Lemme tell you where I grew up at

Sipped Mo', threw up at, flipped coke, blew up at

Where them fake thugs got they vestes chewed up at

Brooklyn beef, who want that?

Lemme tell you where I grew up at

Sipped Mo', threw up at, flipped coke, blew up at

Where them fake thugs got they vestes chewed up at

Brooklyn beef, who want that?

Lemme tell you where I grew up at

Sipped Mo', threw up at, flipped coke, blew up at

Where them fake thugs got they vestes chewed up at

Brooklyn beef, who want that?


[Outro]

BK borough, bitches, ain't nothin' but the best in here

Pink Housing, east New York, real niggas, real shit happen, nigga

Fuck y'all know about bangouts? Gettin' busy?

Fuck police and all that, nigga, real niggas

Brooklyn, nigga
