Staten Island Stood Up - Judeo
Staten Island rose out the fog out the dust
Chain swinging heavy gold glow no rust
Curry on the stove but the block cooking up
Young ones dream big came in out the cut
Money talks louder than the whispers and the bricks
Grew from the cracks like the roots in the streets
Life's a game of chess but the board's missing kings
Every pawn got a crown cuz we doing big things
Staten Island stood up
Can't knock us down from the ferries to the corners
We wear the crown
Luxury in my walk but the struggle still tough
They doubted from the start but Staten stood up
Concrete jungle but the lions stay quiet
Move in silence but the drip stay riot
Stacking like Tetris the blocks don't lie
From the Verrazano view I can see the sky
Paper write endless watch the ink spill
We don't chase dreams we hunt we kill
Hustle on my sleeve stitch into my coat
Every verse I spit that's the borough I wrote
Yeah yeah
Late night ferry lights skyline glow
Stories in the pavement triggers they know
They counted us out but we showed up clean
Staten's the truth that ain't just a dream
