Look past the apartments, over the train
Under the projects, all that remains is
Petty crime and polution tell me where did all this
 [bad [bad word] from?

Challenge and oppurtunity
Challenge and oppurtunity
Rise above the smoke and debris
Rise above the smoke and debris

Brooklyn, New York that's where we dwell
And to a lot of people it's a living [bad word] 
Full of [bad word] and poverty
But wait, that's just how it used to be

CHALLENGE!
CHALLENGE!
RISE ABOVE!
RISE ABOVE!

CHALLENGE! (and oppurtunity)
CHALLENGE! (and oppurtunity)
RISE ABOVE! (the smoke and debri)
RISE ABOVE! (the smoke and debri)

Two wheels bust, so thats how we almost crashed.
But we had to laugh
Five years passed not bad but we had a flag(?)
Was this ment to last? [bad word] it i don't know!
