Kickin' 4 Brooklyn Lyrics
[00:00.31] Kick this one for Brooklyn
[00:03.44] Kick this one for the 90s
[00:05.78] Now kick this one here for Me & My DJ
[00:11.40] Now I was rockin' this party in the 90s, Brooklyn
[00:14.58] You know where the people get hype
[00:16.58] 'll rock a party from Friday to Saturday night
[00:18.76] 48 hours done, and I still hold the mic
[00:22.24] I try to put you down and say that I'm through
[00:24.69] But they give it back to me and say, "Continue"
[00:27.54] That's the thing about Brooklyn, they never get enough
[00:30.31] Of the rap and the music and all the good stuff
[00:33.20] That makes your life worth livin' for
[00:35.85] Respect is the crowd, the crowd that I draw
[00:38.72] Never am I dissed, and never ever shall I be
[00:41.42] Ain't an MC alive that can deal with me
[00:44.24] And if you think you're the one that can deal with this
[00:46.88] Well, you ah - best prepare for a big fat dis
[00:50.34] Kick this one for Brooklyn
[00:53.08] Kick this one for the 90s
[00:56.14] Now kick this one here for Me & My DJ
[01:01.44] Now I was chillin' in Flatbush, mindin' my own
[01:04.09] When a girl walked up with a chrome microphone
[01:07.30] She said, "Hey, MC Lyte, I heard about you
[01:09.85] So here's the microphone, let's see what you can do"
[01:13.14] So I took the microphone and I threw it to the ground
[01:15.41] Cause I need no assist when it comes to gettin' down
[01:18.53] When I start to rap, she starts to shake
[01:21.36] She knew to confront me was truly a mistake
[01:23.75] So she picked the microphone off the grey concrete
[01:26.65] And before I turned around, she was down the street
[01:29.10] Now kick this one for Brooklyn
[01:32.26] Kick this one for the 90s
[01:34.80] Now kick this one here for Me & My DJ
[01:40.59] Now when I'm on the stage, everyone starts starin'
[01:43.66] Is it what I'm sayin', or is it what I'm wearin'?
[01:46.58] 50-50 chance it's what I'm sayin'
[01:49.27] And at the same time what my deejay is playin'
[01:51.92] If you can get hype and sort of like loud
[01:54.32] Yo, K-Rock, kick this one for the crowd
[01:57.57] I been to lots of parties, mostly Uptown
[01:59.86] And one thing I noticed: young people get down
[02:02.74] So hip-hoppers, hip-hoppers, from all around
[02:05.86] Get with the funky sound
[02:08.21] Kick this one for Brooklyn
[02:10.76] Now kick this one for the 90s
[02:13.88] Now kick this one here for Me & My DJ
[02:20.67]
[00:03.44] Kick this one for the 90s
