Brooklyn Renaissance - Skyzoo, Sha Stimuli, Sav Killz

Look

I’m from the heart and soul of the city

The home of the Biggie’s and Jiggas

Gang Starrs, gang scars, niggas get busy

The blocks hot and hip hop prolly saved me

Dodged problems from cops stoppin' and Glocks cockin'

Yo I gotta pop shit about my borough

We can go from rock choppin'

To flippin' that and investin' in stock options

Was born in the 'ville

Raised in the 'Bush

Put my name in the books as a legend

And now I’m eatin' like my face in the puss

I know you mad and you hatin' the Brook for doin' what you can’t

I’m from the home of the Boot Camp

Where food stamps kept the hood fed, now you see us advance

Sometimes I hold down a corner with my feet in the stance

Like, «This is my block» prolly got the heat in my pants

We either go to work or holdin' work, I need a plan

So I took all of those that came before me

Put Brooklyn on my back, got the fame and glory

Change of stories

Switched the chapters, turned the page

Turn the age of 12 and burned the stage

From burnin' haze with homeboys to earnin' wages

For my boys, that’s my word I’m stayin' in BK mothafucka

'Kick In The Door'

All rise for the 7−18 representer

Stay clean from December to November

Corner store Sky that’s the moniker

Switch flows every four lines for the followers

Follow my lead

My zip code is give and go

From the borough where it’s obviously

You bottle and move or bottle your dreams

I level the playing field, help 'em try to believe

If I’m a breath of fresh air then you aspire to breathe

Still hood like a dollar shot of Henny

And splittin' dime bags, put the five in the philly

Now holla if you with me

I tell 'em, «Move like it was two strikes»

Respirate the pen, I give it new life

Spit it how I see it

See how I send the word like I’m around back

The first one to ever hit the curb with a soundtrack

I Corner Store Classic’d all over the masses

Those is prerequisites, next fall is the classes

«Welcome to Bucktown U.S.A.»

The Crooklynites

Son we known for rockin' the mic

Besides tappin' pockets, gat cockin', niggas get right

Give me the limelight to invite, ignite

It’s like a bomb site

The wack I terminate on sight

To revive survive son, that’s only the strong

In these streets here, these cowards ain’t live, get gone

Try to gentrify us, this is where we belong

Out of towners can’t sell me shit this is where I was born

A resident

See it in my swag it’s evident

The state that I rep I’m proud of it, never hesitant

Brooklyn body shit, hooligans we negligent

But now it’s a renaissance, change for the betterment

A resurgence

On a rise back to prominence

We generate it now, regain the confidence

A lot of niggas had the chance but fell incompetent

Yeah, we the new niggas bringin' back the dominance
