Brooklyn is in the house and 
Brooklyn is in the house and 
Just wave your hands in the air 
And wave them like you just don't care, care 

[Joell Ortiz:] 
Yes I am on that Brooklyn [bad word] 
That's where I was born and raised [bad word] 
It's 718 [bad word] 
It's a genuine borough [bad word] 
Greezy niggaz man 
Chea, check, uh 
(Joell Ortiz) check 

[Verse 1:] 
So what I act for an ace on your sigarette 
On the first and third I'm happy cuz all the fiends get a check 
So what I still go up to the roof to bone 
With a bird from the p's who [bad word] dome 
So what I'm still chipping for a bag of weed 
And if that L looks skimpy I leave half the seeds 
So what it's the second day I wore these jeans 
I was chilling yesterday, they don't stink, ya'mean? 
So what I get a shape up when I need a cut 
I ain't woofing that bad, I can use these 5 bucks 
So what I get a beer on credit, from my corner store 
I be going there for years goddammit 
So what I lose my re-up in dicegames 
In the mall I'll be scheming to find me a nice chain 
So what exit dinner when I don't feel like cooking 
I ain't my fault I'm on that [bad word]  I'm from [bad word] 
 [bad word] ] 
E'time [bad word] around your face turn to a frown 
You see us 'bout to go down That's that Brooklyn [bad word]  
They won't let us in the spot cuz last time they let us rock 
The party came to a stop That's that Brooklyn [bad word]   [bad word] over your eyes your shirt double your size 
Your belt hugging your thighs That's that Brooklyn [bad word]  
Looking up and down the block with work tucked in your sock 
Dodging and weaving the cops That's that Brooklyn [bad word]  
[ Lyrics from: [bad word] /www [bad word] j/joell+ortiz/brooklyn [bad word] html ] 
[Verse 2:] 
So what I ask my man for a piece of chicken 
When it ain't yours for some reason it always taste different 
So what we five deep in a two door whip 
We gotta get where we going if you fit you fit 
So what I still reside in my moms crib 
Now [bad word] that, I'm rhyming to get outta there kid 
So what, yes I do have two baby mothers 
Yes they do stay two buildings away from eachother 
So what I only had one job in my life 
And that friday I got my check is the friday I took flight 
So what I skip lines in front of the club 
The niggaz quiet, the [bad word] is always like "that's [bad word] up" 
So what my cable box in the hood is still hot 

[Verse 3:] 
So what every now and then I hop out cabs 
Papi took the long way, papi think I'm [bad word] 
So what I cop blue Hawaiians instead of a bottle 
I'll catch Brooklyn drinks if they close the Apollo 
So what I got my mans shirt on my back 
I had this [bad word] for 4 months, he don't want this back 
So what when we 20 deep, I act up 
Yo best better be easy, don't get clapped up 
So what these ain't real rocks up in my watch 
When the sun hit the face this [bad word] still looks hot 
So what I rob you blind if your [bad word] ain't looking 
I ain't my fault I'm on that [bad word]  I'm from [bad word] And my whole fam be silent everytime they knock 
So what I spent a couple nights in the bookings 
I ain't my fault I'm on that [bad word]  I'm from [bad word]
