I remember walking down the block
With weed under my socks
In my cheek I held a razor,
It was my teenage years behavior
Unfortunate the way it was
I lost my hopes of a creator
On the block you know the street
Was in the teens in coney island
Cooking powder
Choping rocks constructions on
On our feet or sneakers
Among the crack heads and the cops
Some would dream of something bigger
They saw with visions that were clearer
But the grinding everyday
Put that future far away
As the hood hustled for dinner
And for many that would stay

Brooklyn lego land
Lego land
Lego land (what happened)

Brooklyn Brooklyn lego land
Lego land
Lego land

Seems like Brooklyn changed so much
From somebody elses plan

Yet some Brooklyn still exists
On certain blocks on certain strips
Peace to all my Brooklyn fam


I left my home
To try and grow
Coney island Brooklyns own
Bucktowns the land that i was raised
Sippin 40s as a shorty
Smoking blunts and pulling stunts
What you expect when it is winter
For long months
What a time that we all had
What a ride inside the lab
They experiment on us
From the projects to the corners
Winter snow was felt like a igloo
Summer heat was like a sauna
Still that crooklyn it was special
And tho smne memories are rough
Other memories are warmer
We always found a way for us
To have a blast
And Im thankful for my past

But the last time that I came back
Saw, what they gentrified looked wack
Apple bees by the sea
Still lacking opportunities
In communities we be
FYL done blew up big
A few done made it out
And they still rep the crib
Thats that love
Brooklyn always had enough
Even biggie told you that
Back when fitted hats
Ruled over snap backs
When we lived inside a trap
But we didnt call it that
In the era of the crack
Every day pigs would harass
We never gave em a hood pass
They're an army that attacks
It's a war and this is facts
Developers done overprived the hood
Imagine what we all could
Do if we unify our troops
Stomp em out with our timb boots
And then take over all the factories
A working class salute
