[Intro]
Where Brooklyn at? Where Brooklyn at?
Where Brooklyn at? Where Brooklyn at?
Where Brooklyn at? Where Brooklyn at?
Where Brooklyn at? Where Brooklyn at?
Remember we (Where—)
Remember we
Remember we
Where Brooklyn at? Where Brooklyn at? Where—
[Verse 1]
As true as you and me, there's a mayor on every block
Singing Thе Dramatics and playing with ready rock
Usually it seem like he waiting to catch a drop
You'rе clinging to his habits, he saving you from a spot
'Round the way work, jewels in the ground, hit the pay dirt
Love is love, you in good hands, Dennis Haysbert
Openly protected by who you be neck and neck with
'Til you looking over like, "Look at what they done made work"
Circling the block, I know your call before you start
Put your phone down, Pyer Moss to the heart
Word to all of that, love it or leave it, we afforded that
Twenty D batteries, count 'em wrong, brought them back
Attracted to what you see on the screen
But then thinking you can recast it to keep who you need
Keep it cool, shit is cool, you don't need me to leave
Word to God it's nothing to let you be who you be
[Pre-Chorus]
I mean, for real though, there's a fire sale in the Stuy
Thirty floors up, burnt the vibe clear out the sky
I had a view worth a mill' but views get for real and
Usually get killed when you ain't here to buy (Remember we)
Said there's a fire sale in the Stuy
Thirty floors up, burnt the vibe clear out the sky
I had a view worth a mill' but views get for real and
Usually get killed when you ain't here to buy (Remember we)
[Chorus]
Please, Philly, don't let this happen to you
Please, Atlanta, don't let this happen to you
Please, DMV, don't let this happen to you
Please, LA, don't let this happen to you
Please, Detroit, don't let this happen to you
Please, Chicago, don't let this happen to you
Please, Texas, don't let this happen to you
Please, New Orleans, don't let this happen to you (Yo)
[Verse 2]
To whom it may concern, don't let this happen to you
True to what you heard, they want this back like a loop
They gave you a curb and kept you back on the stoop
And now what they prefer is to help you pack when you move
And an argument is made for calling out a blame
Visions of a doorstep and all that it became
And they ain't have the heart to stand on it 'til today
The smoke all clear and they just wanting the remains
Funny, ain't it? The bottom of the bag is what you make it
Jump the line 'cause I ain't never seen money waiting
Shit you ran from is what you tryna run away with
And brownstones is looking "Salvation" underrated
Told us tag a dotted line if you care to survive
And if not, pick a spot and just be here for the ride
The aura of quarter waters over Mary J. Blige
My neighborhood give you life, but was you here when it died? Riddle me that
[Pre-Chorus]
There's a fire sale in the Stuy
Thirty floors up, burnt the vibe clear out the sky
I had a view worth a mill' but views get for real and
Usually get killed when you ain't here to buy (Remember we)
Said there's a fire sale in the Stuy
Thirty floors up, burnt the vibe clear out the sky
I had a view worth a mill' but views get for real and
Usually get killed when you ain't here to buy (Remember we)
[Chorus]
Please, Philly, don't let this happen to you
Please, Atlanta, don't let this happen to you
Please, DMV, don't let this happen to you
Please, LA, don't let this happen to you
Please, Detroit, don't let this happen to you
Please, Chicago, don't let this happen to you
Please, Texas, don't let this happen to you
Please, New Orleans, don't let this happen to you
[Verse 3]
Block party every summer, forty acres and a mule
Same block where it was from and it became the living proof
Last of a dying breed, praises is due
While you're cursing out the stage from your roof
You came here itching for the vibe, take it with us if we gone
No money in Sal's, blame the pictures on the wall
A box of Kennedy Fried got you thinking you involved
Shit is smooth, I was there too before I moved along, funny, ain't it, right?
[Pre-Chorus]
There's a fire sale in the Stuy
Thirty floors up, burnt the vibe clear out the sky
I had a view worth a mill' but views get for real and
Usually get killed when you ain't here to buy (Remember we)
Said there's a fire sale in the Stuy
Thirty floors up, burnt the vibe clear out the sky
I had a view worth a mill' but views get for real and
Usually get killed when you ain't here to buy (Remember we)
[Chorus]
Please, Philly, don't let this happen to you
Please, Atlanta, don't let this happen to you
Please, DMV, don't let this happen to you
Please, LA, don't let this happen to you
Please, Detroit, don't let this happen to you
Please, Chicago, don't let this happen to you
Please, Texas, don't let this happen to you
Please, New Orleans, don't let this happen to you
[Post-Chorus]
Chopped-cheese and Kennedy Fried and dollar Arizonas and
Four wings with fried rice and extra duck sauce
All of the reasons you was out front for
Coming with us if we up and gone
Chopped-cheese and Kennedy Fried and dollar Arizonas and
Four wings with fried rice and extra duck sauce
All of the reasons you was out front for
Coming with us if we up and gone 'cause Bed-Stuy is burnin'
[Outro]
Remember we
[Interlude]
With all this money that we can make
Why don't y'all just lead the way?
Do you wanna get money or not? Do ya?
Do you wanna get money or not? Do ya?
