Kickin' 4 Brooklyn Lyrics - Mc Lyte

Kick this one for Brooklyn 

Kick this one for the nineties 

Now kick this one here for me and my DJ 

Now I was rockin' this party in the 90s, Brooklyn 

You know where the people get hype I'll rock a party from Friday 

To Saturday night, forty eight hours done, and I still hold the mic 

I try to put you down and say that I'm through 

But they give it back to me and say, continue 

That's the thing about Brooklyn, they never get enough 

Of the rap and the music and all the good stuff 

That makes your life worth livin' for 

Respect is the crowd, the crowd that I draw 

Never am I dissed, and never ever shall I be 

Ain't a MC alive that can deal with me 

And if you think you're the one that can deal with this 

Well, you ah best prepare for a big fat dis 

Kick this one for Brooklyn 

Kick this one for the nineties 

Now kick this one here for me and my DJ 

Now I was chillin' in Flatbush, mindin' my own 

When a girl walked up with a chrome microphone 

She said, "Hey, MC Lyte, I heard about you 

So here's the microphone, let's see what you can do" 

So I took the microphone and I threw it to the ground 

'Cause I need no assist when it comes to gettin' down 

When I start to rap, she start to shake 

She knew to confront me was truly a mistake 

So she picked the microphone off the grey concrete 

And before I turned around, she was down the street 

Now kick this one for Brooklyn 

Kick this one for the nineties 

Now kick this one here for me and my DJ 

Now when I'm on the stage, everyone starts starin' 

Is it what I'm sayin', or is it what I'm wearin'? 

Fifty fifty chance it's what I'm sayin' 

And at the same time what my deejay is playin' 

If you can get hype and sort of like loud 

Yo, K-Rock, kick this one for the crowd 

I been to lots of parties, mostly Uptown 

And one thing I noticed young people get down 

So hip-hoppers, hip-hoppers, from all around 

Get with the funky sound 

Kick this one for Brooklyn 

Now kick this one for the nineties 

Now kick this one here for me and my DJ
