Crooklyn

作曲 : DJ Cut Killer/A Tribe Called Quest

（performed by Crooklyn Dodgers）

（remixed by DJ Cut Killer）

Panic, as another manic depressant

Adolescent stares at death

Now, what's left when there ain't no guide

And a whole lot of pride?

It might be a homicide, so let the drama... slide

We don't want no problems, B

Get your name in the obituary column sheet

'Cause life is too short and it just gets shorter

I wish I had a quarter for all my people they slaughter

Last year alone, in the dead zone

Walk straight, but don't walk late

‘Cause I'm coming with a hate only made from what it made me

‘Cause nobody ever played me

Now it's only getting worse

Buckshot and Ace in the land of the waste, kicking you in your face

We be doing it up Crooklyn STYYYYYLE

What does it take to get you WIIIILD?

My mentality is getting iller, killer

Instinct is trying to infiltrate, but wait

I know you wanna enter but I can't let you in

My mind-state's the maddest, I'm gone with the wind

Because it is survival of the fittest

When the **** hits the fan, I got my shank in my hand

Black man with the permanent tan

I come from the 'Ville and never ran

Damn!

I'm feeling another part of reality（Damn!)

Hit me when I represent the F.A.P

Straight from the 'Ville, Tilden played the building

I mean literally when I say “I’ll make a killing"

For my cipher, see, I'm fitna bust a piper

Original heads represent the Brooklyn all-nighter

Do or die, I'm saying “It's you and I”

Bring your click, so we can get Stone like Family Sly

Peace to C.I. and the Bush

Mighty Mateen, Ruck and the Rock giving a push

"Straight from Crooklyn, better known as Brooklyn"

"Never taking shorts 'cause Brooklyn's the borough"

"Straight from Crooklyn, better known as Brooklyn"

"Never taking shorts 'cause Brooklyn's the borough"

We did it like that and now we do it like this

Go inside your mind and find a time that you miss

And just think about the steel in your fist

It's just an extension of your arm

It's that ghetto type of charm that makes all the homeboys swarm

Can I drop the bomb? Oh, yes, I can

Move with the groove, smooth like Geechie Dan

Who is the man? That kid there

Who is the chick with the pick in her hair?

Angela, uhh, Davis, and we roll like Avis

Rent-a-Car—kid, there you are

You know where to find me whenever you need me

If you know the Ave., follow the path

To the land of the aftermath, but don't frolic in the midst

Crazy-ass Crooklyn kids

‘Cause they’re always throwing a body on my lawn

I'm getting a Rottweiler without a collar

Get off my block, boy, and give me a dollar

For the trouble or get blown up like a bubble

Now, let's take a sec to think back

To the year of the seven-O, when Brooklyn was the place to go

Flow on a journey up to Crown Heights

Ebbets Field; feel the real-to-real on your life

Trife individuals live in the PJ's

Dee Evil, check my DJ

Hey, play, what I wanna play in the day

But in the night, I feel the right, took the left

Bucktown, Brooklyn, break it down

Heads from state to state, travel as I unravel the rate

Howard, Tapscott, and Sutter

I remember way back in the days playing Hot Peas and Butter

Brother, if you want another lesson, Crooklyn session

Take it back,"Black Smif-N-Wessun"

Press your luck, you’ll get stuck by Buck for your bucks

Masta Ace has the taste for ducks and duck sauce

So tell Lord Digga

“Dig a grave for the bones, sticks and stones”

While I kick some ancient poems through your domes

Act went back to attack your homes

So, Tip, can I flip? (Yes, you can)

I'm in a World War with Muhammad, my man

Feels so good to be a Crooklyn Dodger

Uh huh, What’s Happening!! to ReRun and Roger?

I think I seen 'em wearing Timberlands and running down the block

From Dwayne, and Dwayne had a Glock

‘Cause he be selling rock for the Partridge Family

And Reuben Kincaid drives a 300-E

And he be pimping Chrissy from Three's Company

Plus he stuck Mr. T for all his jewelry

This is a 70's thing from the days

When kids didn't act so crazed in Crooklyn

"Straight from Crooklyn, better known as Brooklyn"

"Never taking shorts 'cause Brooklyn's the borough"

"Straight from Crooklyn, better known as Brooklyn"

"Never taking shorts 'cause Brooklyn's the borough"

"Straight from Crooklyn, better known as Brooklyn"

"Never taking shorts 'cause Brooklyn's the borough"
