Sangtekst: MC Lyte. Brooklyn.
Brooklyn (Brooklyn), Brooklyn,(Brooklyn) (X4)
I got the intro along with the cash flow,
Make all the bad boys seem like nymphos
Yeah I'm hard I get sexy like Veronica,
I sex an instrument like the Phil Harmonica.
No I ain't tall but I'm small and I'm slender
As him who's been in, shit is like tender,
If he didn't like it he'd return to sender
he didn't do that its too phat, he remembers.
Never ever have I ever said I was good looking
Just one bad ass bitch from Brooklyn.
Not here to steal your loot, your coach, your rocks
making niggas drop wheneve we hit the block
they hear Brooklyn and we up to no good
well here we come so there goes the neighborhood.
Timbo's scuffed up. Ces bein' pumped up mess with
the wrong one, kid you'll get roughed up.
Peace to my people in (you know the place) Brooklyn.
(x8)
I got the rhythym that'll rip up shows blow down foes
a killa will get a taste of my flow.
Vocally I rock locally and worldwide
those that got bad wish they would have never tried.
'Cause when you come where I come from you gotta be tough
cause niggas'll call your bluff quick enough
cause if your hood is like my hood ya gotta think quick
shits thick, niggas are slick, have ya turning tricks.
I gotta give it up to Mr Cool J. for giving up the props
to the girls around the way. It ain't safe after dark
to throw a jam at a park if you wanna get naughty bring your
forty to the arc. Cause we get down when it comes to a jam
just watch your back pocket keep your eye on the man.
If your town like my town you don't wanna mess around,
wind up getting bagged up beat down.
Peace to my people in (you know the place) Brooklyn.
(x8)
Everywhere that I step they know my rep
'Cause I'm saying and doing ill shit they won't forget
breaking down doors although I never break laws
come to a town thats yours and I'll be rippin' the whole tour.
Comin' hard for your section so I'm live in the flesh
and about to blow up. So yo come down and then get the fuck up
looks are hooked you lucked up you booked.
You gotta be hard cause I ain't with softies
hit and you miss got to get offa this
So come with your game cause you cant be lame
as soon and you walk I'm forgettin' ya name
as long as you know all that enter all equal
straight from the Lyte I send peace to my people.
Yeeeeah, Peace to my people
Yeeeeah, Peace to my people
Peace to my people in the east coast,
Peace to my people on the west,
Peace to the people up north,
Peace to the people down south,
Peace to the people in Brooklyn,
Peace to the people in the Bronx,
Peace to my people in Compton,
Peace to my people going uptown,
Peace to my people in Detroit,
Peace to my people in Houston,
Peace to my people in Philly,
Peace to my people in Boston,
Peace to my people in Jersey,
Peace to my people in Georgia,
Peace to my people in Philly,
Peace to my people in Richmond,
Peace to my people in Cali,
Peace to my people in Queens,
Peace to my people going uptown,

Peace to the people on the beach,
Peace to my people in Miami,
Peace to my people
I say peace to my people.
