What's up Brax? You takin' fashion chances - With that fuzzy lip wig and your grandpa's glasses? Hey, welcome to Brooklyn- Good to have you around Lemme tell how the really real Brooklyn gets down In the 70's and 80's there were lots o' dead bodies BK was full o' gangsters like gambino and gotti You couldn't even sit in a parked car and kiss On account' of Son of Sam David Berkowiz I don't give a shit about that plaid in your shirt The only plaid that we had was in our catholic skirts We took care of our business with schoolyard fights Then we'd hang out and smoke some fuckin' Marlboro lights I'm OG Brooklyn, got a problem with me? I been ridin' the 5 since 1973 Full o' graffiti, clutchin' my purse You think it's bad now? Well it was much fuckin' worse! YEAH! you heard what I said I slept with 5 siblings in my mother's bed Bagel for dinner, pizza for lunch Playin' stoop ball... never heard of no brunch I'm OG Brooklyn... I'm OG Brooklyn... Took the bus to Riis park, that was our vacation we never even heard of no gentrification We watched movies in the park, and read books on the bench Opened my back door with an Allen wrench Your vintage shoes make ya look like a clown We had a different word for that, it's called HAND-ME-DOWNS Oh you're feelin' sad 'cause the L train's slow? We walked a mile to the subway in the fuckin' SNOW! I'm OG brooklyn, got a problem with me? We drank michelob from Dirty Louie's Deli Makin' out and stayin' out and classes cut Singin' Don Maclean on the greenline bus We didn't/ talk about which neighborhoods were crappy or cool We identified our areas by catholic school "Yo where are you from?" St Thomas Aquinas! I'm hiding from my mom because I got a b-minus I'm OG Brooklyn... I'm OG Brooklyn... You're just sour grapes it's my Brooklyn now I eat cheese every day, but not from a cow I play flag football in McCarren park But I take a Lyft home before it gets too dark I'm a Sconnie from Wisconsin and now Brooklyn is me I'd rather wait for the L than ever take the G I walk dogs on the weekend and my parents pay my rent Starbucks and barcade are where my money's spent Leave me alone! I'm OG Brooklyn - no lattes, thank-ya Just a cup of hot water with a spoonful of Sanka We didn't call it ghost whip when we jumped out the car And we didn't start tabs - we slapped a 20 on the bar Oh you played sports? Oh sugar, that's sweet Instead o' grass, we slid our bare legs on concrete! I'm the baddest fuckin woman from the borough of kings I'm the god damn reason Barbra Streisand sings!
