This stoop is my throne, this hood is my home
And the sky's always blue by the brownstones We in Brooklyn, it ain't no Beverly Hills Basically we pay bills, then chill It's like east coast bliss, it's like west coast diss We do it like this and you seal it with a kiss And a pound, that's just how it go down It's the protocol, do you feel me all? Saturday afternoon is all about the 9 to 4 And tonight we're gonna do it some more Sunday mornin' hear the bands in the church play All day long, every block there's a new song Sittin' on the stoop in Bed-Stuy Always sayin' hi when the brothers walk by Just got the etiquette, sittin' on the top step With a bag of chips, sit back, relax, enjoy the trip We got a neighborly philosophy I don't mess with you, you don't mess with me It is what it is, it ain't all hard up in the hood Sittin? on my front stoop and it's all good Boys in white beaters and corn rolls Wear their pants down low so their briefs can show Girls be always dressed up, givin' their best stuff Workin? that hairdo, boys are gonna bless you Always some commotion at the corner store That the corner cops chose to ignore Everybody write tune to a different song When they pass by I bob my head along I don't spark spliffs but don't mind the aroma If the deli out of Stella then I settle for Corona And I claim my spot for the evenin? Let the part begin, we gonna do it again Sittin? on the stoop in Bed-Stuy Always sayin' hi when the brothers walk by Just got the etiquette, sittin' on the top step With a bag of chips, sit back, relax, enjoy the trip We got a neighborly philosophy I don't mess with you, you don't mess with me It is what it is, it ain't all hard up in the hood Sittin? on my front stoop and it's all good It's all good, it's all good 'Cause I love my hood, love my hood It's all good, it's all good 'Cause I love my hood, love my hood Sittin? on the stoop in Bed-Stuy Always sayin' hi when the brothers walk by Just got the etiquette, sittin' on the top step With a bag of chips, sit back, relax, enjoy the trip We got a neighborly philosophy I don't mess with you, you don't mess with me It is what it is, it ain't all hard up in the hood Sittin' on my front stoop and it's all good |

I take it in stride; One day at a time
If I ask no questions I'll hear no lies How come blessings only come in disguise? Try them on for size as I vocalize Ain't nothing gonna get in between me and my flow Aint' nothing gonna come between me and my afro My man just left me; what do ya know? Easy come; easy go! He came out of the blue And went right back into it Had to forfeit because he couldn't get with it Called it quits and when he spins He said he didn't have time for my juvenile bullshit I've had a lot of failed relationships; I don't get involved because I'm not equipped I believe that the world should revolve around me! I don't see the point of a partnership; it won't be long until they start to trip Yessiree, the whole world should revolve around me! There's only one me in the galaxy I am an endangered species This kind of flower don't grow on Earth Just lettin' you know for what it's worth This kind of mountain shouldn't cause a depression So I bide my time with philosophical questions Not for nothing but what came first The chicken nugget or the egg mcmuffin? I got talent and I got tits I know I'll find another guy who wants to get with it I'm not convinced that I'm a big fat bore One man's pleasure is another man's chore I've had a lot of failed relationships; I don't get involved because I'm not equipped I believe that the world should revolve around me! I don't see the point of a partnership; it won't be long until they start to trip Yessiree, the whole world should revolve around me! I know I rock and what I got is hot And you know I got a lot Cause all that trippin you gotta stop Before you know it your ass'll be drop And if you concerned with my biological clock Since I never grow old my heart is always in stock Keep screwing that bitch from down the block I don't need you around I know I rock! I've had a lot of failed relationships; I don't get involved because I'm not equipped I believe that the world should revolve around me! I don't see the point of a partnership; it won't be long until they start to trip Yessiree, the whole world should revolve around me! |

It's a typical day in the universe
Another MC spits a puny verse I try to get through my day without sayin? a curse Because I curse too much and such and such I try to improve my vocabulary I try to cut out eatin? meat and dairy I wanna bring back the days of the tooth fairy 'Cause I lost my innocence I'm young and dumb and old and wise at the same time ?Cause I know Jesus was a rock star And it was Elvis who turned water into wine I wanna save a kangaroo from a life in a zoo I wanna own a llama, I want less drama in my life I think I really wanna be a happy housewife I got 28 butts in the ashtray I gotta pace myself, I'm smokin? like a chimney Another bottle of whiskey has been emptied I know you wouldn't put it past me I really know how to party, reminisce about the day When I was swiggin? my Bacardi 28 butts in the ashtray because it's just me Keepin? myself company I think back all the days I was smokin? carawhack It was really kinda like an addiction, non fiction Just readin? my days and nights away I used to pray to a funny little fat man 'Til I found out he was Santa Clause 'Cause Saint Nick never brought shit And there I go cursin? again I'm my only friend and I'm definitely my very worst enemy It kinda triggers a memory, let's bring it back to 83 When I ate a watermelon, swallowed the seeds Suddenly there was a watermelon growin? in my tummy I skipped a jump rope, every time I jumped up I heard a rattle that sounded like a tambourine I got 28 butts in the ashtray I gotta pace myself, I'm smokin? like a chimney Another bottle of whiskey has been emptied I know you wouldn't put it past me I really know how to party, reminisce about the day When I was swiggin? my Bacardi 28 butts in the ashtray ?cause it's just me Keepin? myself company Hey mama, are you proud of me? I applied for a job at MickeyD's I gotta do somethin? with my life Because my idle time is eatin? me Like I'm a super sized french fry Drenched in ketchup, fryin? over patch up But I know I taste better than that Like they used to taste before they outlawed trans fat I got 28 butts in the ashtray I gotta pace myself, I'm smokin? like a chimney Another bottle of whiskey has been emptied I know you wouldn't put it past me I really know how to party, reminisce about the day When I was swiggin? my Bacardi 28 butts in the ashtray because it's just me Keepin? myself company |

He be getting out of the, getting out of the kitchen
When he's finally heard enough of your bitching Time to drink all your booze [Incomprehensible] So I'll leave you nothing but a pile of dishes Girls be flipping and guys be tripping One foot out the door, it's like a dance, flip it There was a relationship But we ain't dancing anymore Your kitchen's up in flames There ain't no one to blame but yourself Your nitpicking will drive a man insane Throwing that kind of heat Can give a man a heart attack Don't you burn them bridges You can never go back, hey, hey, hey Kitchen ain't easy on a man From the fire to the frying pan From a human to another It ain't right to hit your lover It was over like a can of spam Here's a tip, you're gonna flip If you don't get a grip, stop giving that lip You got that fed up, better give some head up Instead of eating all his butter Your kitchen's up in flames There ain't no one to blame but yourself Your nitpicking will drive a man insane Throwing that kind of heat Can give a man a heart attack Don't you burn them bridges You can never go back, hey, hey, hey No use crying over spilled milk When some thing's gone bad There ain't no way back Check the expiration date before it's too late Ain't the pot calling the kettle black Take it from a girl who really knows it well Every single one I had went straight to hell You can achieve world peace with your tone of voice Or start World War III, it's your choice Your kitchen's up in flames There ain't no one to blame but yourself Your nitpicking will drive a man insane Throwing that kind of heat Can give a man a heart attack Don't you burn them bridges You can never go back, hey, hey, hey |

We tough as nails in my family
You mess with them, yo, you messin' with me Wouldn't believe the shit we've been through Mark my words, better me than you We was brought up in a battle ground Every third day, thugs be comin' around They been sent the way 'cause we were bound To bear the burden of what went down It was our business Even if it hurt we were self righteous Social services parked outside Tried to take us away Mama wouldn't abide, na, na, na We've laughed and we've cried Through the hardships we've been tied You gotta chose your battles right Know when to forfeit, know when to fight We get a little bit closer every time we ride A little bit tougher every time we die A little better 'cause at least we tried A little bit nicer 'cause we know we fly That's how we roll in my family To add insult to injury If you use a knife, cut straight to bone Go hard or go home A couple cuts and bruises were easy to hide Sun glasses hide a black eye But you can't run away from a black soul So many secrets we never told Why your clothes be dirty' Why your hair all messy' Why you look so ill' Couldn't pay the water bill Had to keep the light on for the homework So excuse us, we got a couple of quirks I trivialize 'cause the truth hurts So much more than a little dirt Even if it's all bottled up inside It's a lot more noble than a suicide We survive, we alive, we got pride We be tight You know we ride to a certain degree To keep that shit in the family We get a little bit closer every time we ride A little bit tougher every time we die A little better 'cause at least we tried A little bit nicer 'cause we know we fly That's how we roll in my family To add insult to injury If you use a knife, cut straight to bone Go hard or go home It takes a lot more courage to love Than it does to hate Anyone who's got a family can relate Ain't never really dissipates May take my whole life to get it straight But it makes me who I am And I wouldn't trade that for nothin' We get a little bit closer every time we ride A little bit tougher every time we die A little better 'cause at least we tried A little bit nicer 'cause we know we fly That's how we roll in my family To add insult to injury If you use a knife, cut straight to bone Go hard or go home |
