Brooklyn Renaissance

[Verse One] [Sha Stimuli]: Look I'm from the heart and soul of the city The home of the Biggie's and Jiggas Gang Starrs, gang scars, niggas get busy The blocks hot and hip hop prolly saved me Dodged problems from cops stoppin' and Glocks cockin' Yo I gotta pop shit about my borough We can go from rock choppin' To flippin' that and investin' in stock options Was born in the 'ville Raised in the 'Bush Put my name in the books as a legend And now I'm eatin' like my face in the puss I know you mad and you hatin' the Brook for doin' what you can't I'm from the home of the Boot Camp Where food stamps kept the hood fed, now you see us advance Sometimes I hold down a corner with my feet in the stance Like, "This is my block" prolly got the heat in my pants We either go to work or holdin' work, I need a plan So I took all of those that came before me Put Brooklyn on my back, got the fame and glory Change of stories Switched the chapters, turned the page Turn the age of 12 and burned the stage From burnin' haze with homeboys to earnin' wages For my boys, that's my word I'm stayin' in BK mothafucka [Scratch Chorus]: "Welcome to Bucktown U.S.A." - Boot Camp Clik 'Welcome To Bucktown U.S.A.'
