*part One*




[Mos Def]



Hey Hey Ha Ha Say What Say What



Ha Ha Bust It Yo



Sometimes I Feel Like I Don't Have A Partner



Sometimes I Feel Like My Only Friend



Is The City I Live In Is Beautiful Brooklyn



Long As I Live Here Believe I'm On Fire Hey



Cuz It's The B The R The O The O K



L Y N Is The Place Where I Stay



The B The R The O The O K



Best In The World And All USA



It's The B To The R The O The O K



L-Y-N Is The Place Where I Stay



The B-to-the-R-the-O-the-O-K



Place Where I Rest Is On My Born Day



Bust It, Sometimes I Sit Back And Just Reflect



Watch The World Go By And My Thought Connect



I Think About The Time Past And The Time To Come



Reminesce On Bed-Stuy When I Was Pride And Young



I Used To Try And Come, To The Neighborhood Function



Throw On My Izod, Say A Little Something



When I Was Just A Youngin, Before The Days Of Thuggin



How Me And Charlie Chims (aiyyo What?) I'm Only Buggin



Fast Forward, Nine-Now I Gotta Team My Seed



I Must Proceed At God's Speed To Perform My Deed



Livin The Now Space And Time, Round The Nine To Five



For As Long As I'm Alive, Paw I Got To Strive



I Ain't Sittin Roadside, That Ain't Harder To Plan



I'm Out Here For My Fam Doin All That I Can



I Love My City, Sweet And Gritty In Land To Outskirts



Nickname Bucktown Cuz We Grown To Outburst



Philosophy Redefine Us, Touch Mines I Touch Back



Walk The Streets Like A Sweet And Get Beat Like Drum Tracks



Catch No Shakes Over Jakes (boomp-boomp!) We Bust Back



Bring The Marty To Your Face Wit No Place To Run Back



I'm From The Slums That Created The Bass That Thump Back



This Ain't A Game Clown, Play Ya James Brown And Jump Back



What You Want, Jack? Young Cats Stas
