The Place Where We Dwell Lyrics - Gangstarr

Verse one: 

New york, new york is where we live and we're thorough 

Never taking shorts 'cause brooklyn's the borough 

Peace to uptown, to queens and the bronx 

Long island and jersey get as fly as they want 

Where we rest is no joke 

So let me break it down to sections for you slowpokes 

Fort green, bedstuy, flatbush, brownsville 

Crown heights and east new york will be down till 

Medina takes respect for the style's we bring 

'cause in brooklyn, we be into our own thing 

Alantic terminals, redhook bushwick 

Come to brooklyn frontin, and you'll get mushed quick 

We ain't just know for flipping and turning out parties 

But also for the take no bullshit hotties 

On the subject of blackness, well let me share this 

Brooklyn is the home for cultural awareness 

So in all fairness, you can never compare this 

Some good, some bad. little hope for the weak 

Dangerous streets and coney island beach 

All this included when you go for a tour 

Some can get scandolous and outright raw 

When you step, step correct and watch where you move 

We pay dues so we ain't trying to lose 

Here in brooklyn 

The home of the black and the beautiful 

For a ruffrap sound, ain't a place more suitable

POPULAR SONG: Post Malone - 'Circles' - LYRICS 

Other cities claim this, and others claim that 

But let me give some props to the place where we be at 

B-r-double o- k-l-y-n 

I came in for a visit and ever since then 

I've been incorporated with select personel 

Right here in brooklyn, the place where we dwell 

Way down in brooklyn (3x) 

Those who live in brooklyn know just what I'm talking about 

Verse two: 

Peace to boston, philly, conneticut, dc 

All the east coast cities are fly to me 

Peace to everybody down south and out west 

But for me, brooklyn, new york is the best 

Don't be afraid to venture over the bridge 

Although you may run in to some wild ass kids 

Take the j train, the d or the a if you dare 

And the 2, 3, 4, 5 also comes here 

There's so much to see 'cause brooklyn's historic 

Fools act jealous but you have to ignore it 

So I just lounge wit the fat clientel 

Out here in brooklyn, the place where we dwell 

Way down in brooklyn 

You know the place...
