[Hook]
This is Brooklyn, gangsters and hipsters
With your trap stars and actors who act hard
This is New York, no rules in this community
Real rap, full of traps and opportunity

[Verse 1]
Black man, lock in or get locked up
Get your head burned cause this system is fucked up
This how you buck back, start a business and mind your business
Putting work in, because laziness is forbidden
I'ma blast when at a copper if I
Hear something else about the helpless getting shot up
Avoid white pigs in blue suits
The true evolution is crucial
I'm with the crew too
Doing more than we used to
Because we choose to, if you qualify we recruit you
It's the expansion, enhancement and advancement
Play your position or get laid in the shit you stand in cause this is

[Hook: 2x]

[Verse 2]
Gun boys, college kids and street artists
In the same room at warehouse, its retarded
The Illuzion, be aware what we started
Came up from the bottom and plotting to go farther
This is Brooklyn
The party life and the hustle
The venues are all illegal, adventure is in the struggle
This is...
It's easy to get in trouble
The laws waiting to fuck you and haters waiting to cut you
This is...
The kiss of death when it get you
The industry wanna twist you, they love you and then forget you
This is... (Brooklyn)
Salute you and then they diss you
Shoot you and then they miss you

[Hook: 2x]
