Word to Gil Scott

The Revolution starts in the heart

No diss to Jill Scott

Brooklyn ain’t a walk in the park

School to prison pipeline they smoking pipes on the Ave

When guns shoot and knives stab you can’t get ya life back

Nah haggle at the store get the price slashed in half

Kings plaza dollar vans on the strip like Gaza

Billboards with liquors ads peep the bigger math

Petty beefs tit for tat yo we live for cash

Must be something in the tap water

Disrespectful energy we bring it back towards ya

That’s reciprocity

They speculate on property

It’s a game of monopoly where oligarchs exploit the poverty

From red lining cross the yellow blue and red line

Legendary kingpins are dead or doing fed time

The best rappers you know live there curse and a gift there

It’s mixed bag many did that and got big there

B R double O K L Y N

King’s County NY from beginning to end

What’s known ain’t gotta be said its where the greatest sparks

Spread love that’s Brooklyn u know in ya heart

Vultures swoop to water down culture and truth

Dressed in suits contaminate and poison our food

And uproot foundations we laid

Cause that minimum wage synonymous to population enslaved

Corporations paid wintertime pavement is cold

Fashion avant-guard Brooklyn Nets logo be the avatar

Grimy kids try to sabotage you gotta know the codes

Some will overdose others seek the Holy Ghost

With goals of climbing up the totem pole

Bet you ten mil every 10 years we known for bending social roles

Lofty dreams turn to broken hopes and vice versa

Careful what you wish you bound to find the right person

From the Navy Yard Bushwick to Canarsie

To Brownsville late night vigils that honor Sean P

Trends die ladies fly new babies is born

Raised in the hustle in radiant form

B R double O K L Y N

King’s County NY from beginning to end

What’s known ain’t gotta be said its where the greatest sparks

Spread love that’s Brooklyn u know in ya heart

Cops patrol the block while we socialize

Lotta scammers to survive gotta recognize and know the lies

When tensions in the air we know the vibes

You better dip before these bullets make ya choke on ya pride

Caribbean flags for Jouvert a new day for

Another dollar in the bank plus a new décor

Corner pocket hit the 8 ball mental napalm

Nuke shelters under buildings case they drop an A Bomb

Cop Modelos from bodegas while our phones capture data

Friends turn their backs names appear on affidavits

Split second calculations that’s second nature

I peeped from my peripheral the way they heads was shaking

Feature presentations girls dressed quasi-naked

Bass thumping out cars my inner child awakens

It’s where I got my start at hard facts

Through life Africa’s inside my soul

Brooklyn’s where the heart at

B R double O K L Y N

King’s County NY from beginning to end

What’s known ain’t gotta be said its where the greatest sparks

Spread love that’s Brooklyn u know in ya heart
