Hello Brooklyn 2.0

[Intro: Beastie Boys sample]

Hello!

Brooklyn!

[Chorus: Lil Wayne & Jay-Z]

Hello, Brooklyn (Uh-huh), how you doing? (Yeah)

Where you going? Can I come too? (Uh-huh)

And If I can (Woo!), I'ma be your man

You could be my lady, and have my baby

And drive my cars (Cars), and drive me crazy (So crazy)

Wherever you going (Where you going?), baby girl, just take me (Uh-huh)

'Cause I'm so taken, if you taken (I'm so taken)

I'm just saying (Woo!), baby, I'm just saying

[Verse 1: Jay-Z]

Like a mama, you birth me; Brooklyn, you nursed me

Schooled me with hard knocks, better than Berkeley

They said you'd murk me by the time I was 21

That shit disturbed me, but you never hurt me

Hello, Brooklyn, if we had a daughter

Guess what I'ma call her? Brooklyn Carter

When I left you for Virginia, it didn't offend you

'Cause you know I only stepped out to get dinner

And I'm eating, so much, I bought extra

So much so that dinner's now turned into breakfast

I only roll Lexus to hug your road

I love your corners, I'm half your soul

[Chorus: Lil Wayne & Lil Wayne & Jay-Z]

Hello, Brooklyn, how you doing?

Where you going? Can I come too?

And If I can, I'ma be your man

You could be my lady and have my baby

And drive my cars, and drive me crazy

Wherever you going, baby girl, just take me

'Cause I'm so taken if you taken

I'm just saying, baby, I'm just saying

[Verse 2: Lil Wayne]

Hello, Brooklyn, what's your story?

She said she eating on the run, but she ain't Nore'

She said she got a man but he ain't worried

But baby, I'ma have to rob him like Horry

She said she love B.I.G., and she like 2Pac

And when I said Jay-Z, she say, "It's the Roc!"

And I'ma leave it like this—like this, like that

Where Brooklyn at? Where Brooklyn at?

Have you seen her?

And when she tell you something, you better believe her

She told me she like my New Orleans demeanor

And so, I said, "Goodbye, Katrina"

[Bridge: Lil Wayne & Jay-Z]

And "Hello, Brooklyn!" Buh-baby, you are

The sweetest sight eyes could see

I said, "Hello, Brooklyn!" Buh-baby

I hope you never say goodbye to me

I said, "Hello, Brooklyn!" Buh-buh-baby, you are (Woo!)

So damn fine to me

And I remember the time (Time), place (Place)

And the weather (And, woo!)

On the day you said, "Hi," to me

And I say, "Hello, Brooklyn!"

[Verse 3: Jay-Z]

Brooklyn, you crazy; look how you made me

Razor blades in my mouth, walking 'round, behaving—

All demented; black hoodies and Timberland-ed

Always scheming—"You see the gleam on that nigga's pendant?"

(Hello, Brooklyn) You bad influence, look what you had me doing

But I ain't mad at you (Haha), look at my attitude

It says my life's too real, check out my ice grill

Baby, I'm cold as ice, like I'm from Brownsville

But my Bed's in the Stuy, though I'll lie flat in your bush

'Til we smoke a C.I., "What up" to the boy, B.I.?

You know I handle B-I, I don't half-step on the 'caine

Ask the dreads 'bout I, how you gwaan 'so?

She like it hardcore, so I grind slow

Iller than Albee Square Mall back in the 9-0

My fine ho, we got some victims to catch

So in a couple years, baby, I'ma bring you some Nets (Woo!)

[Chorus: Lil Wayne]

Hello, Brooklyn, how you doing? (Yeah)

Where you going? Can I come too?

And If I can, I'ma be your man

You could be my lady, and have my baby

And drive my cars (Errr!), and drive me crazy (Errr!)

Wherever you goin' baby girl, just take me

'Cause I'm so taken if you taken

I'm just saying, baby, I'm just saying (Yeah)

[Bridge: Lil Wayne]

And hello, Brooklyn, buh-buh-baby, you are

The sweetest thing eyes could see

Hello, Brooklyn

Baby, I hope you never say goodbye to me

I said, "Hello, Brooklyn," buh-baby you are

So damn fine to me

But I remember the time, place, and the weather

On the day she said hi to me

And I said, "Hello, Brooklyn"
