[Verse 1: Jay-Z]
This is black hoodie rap
 There's no fear in my eyes where they lookin' at
Better look on map, besides, me nah like to eye fight
 Me nah think such a ting is worth a man's life (Christ!)
But if a man test my Stuy
 I promise he won't like my reply
 Boom bye bye like Buju I'm [bad word]  I'm a Brooklyn boy I may take some gettin' use to
Chain snatchin', ain't have it, gotta get it
Same [bad word]  from Brownsville to Bainbridge
Fatherless child, mama pulled double shifts
 So the [bad word] was the only one I hanged widith
 Before you know it I'm in the game, bang fidith
Fear no orangutans, pe-deal cid-daps
 Like oranges-es, I'm dangerous
Please, tell me what the name of this [bad word] 
 [Hook]
Brooklyn we go hard, we go hard [bad word] again)

 [Verse 2: Jay-Z]
I father, I Brooklyn Dodger them
 I jack, I rob, I sin
 Aww man, I'm Jackie Robinson
 'cept when [bad word] base, I dodge the pen
Lucky me, luckily, they didn't get me
Now when I bring the Nets, I'm the black Branch Rickey
From Brooklyn corners, burnin' branches of sticky
Spread love, Biggie, Brooklyn, hippie
I pity the fool with jewels like Mr. T
 With no history in my borough, they borrow
 With no intentions of returnin', tomorrow
 The sun [bad word] out for many, like Annie
 Half orphan, mama never had an abortion
 Papa sort of did, still I managed to live
 I go hard, I owe it all to the crib
 Now please tell me, what the [bad word] s harder than this?

 [Hook]

 [Verse 3: Santigold]
While I'm doin' my time due to circumstance
 Cross that bridge, face the consequence
 Once bid 10 now I paid my dues
 Risk takers we break [bad word] Get so dark, but I see good
Bed-Stuy stay high in my neck of the woods
 Now, let it ring out, it's a warning
 (Brooklyn) Let it be sworn in
Gotta make it stick workin' like we blue collar
 Rip it to the core, underneath it all we harder
Right into the clip, bring it to the floor
 One step, one step, give it up more
 The road is rough and the street's a mess
 Got big cash dreams and a sick death wish
 Robbin' out [bad word] stash
 Kill the voice screamin' in my head

 [Hook]
