Kickin' 4 Brooklyn Lyrics
[00:00.72] Kick this one for Brooklyn
[00:02.60] Kick this one for the 90s
[00:05.35] Now kick this one here for Me & My DJ
[00:11.31] Now I was rockin' this party in the 90s, Brooklyn
[00:14.07] You know where the people get hype
[00:16.01] 'Ll rock a party from Friday to Saturday night
[00:18.66] 48 hours done, and I still hold the mic
[00:21.78] I try to put you down and say that I'm through
[00:24.19] But they give it back to me and say, "Continue"
[00:27.27] That's the thing about Brooklyn, they never get enough
[00:29.90] Of the rap and the music and all the good stuff
[00:32.93] That makes your life worth livin' for
[00:35.41] Respect is the crowd, the crowd that I draw
[00:38.51] Never am I dissed, and never ever shall I be
[00:41.08] Ain't an MC alive that can deal with me
[00:43.80] And if you think you're the one that can deal with this
[00:46.45] Well, you ah - best prepare for a big fat dis
[00:50.25] Kick this one for Brooklyn
[00:52.75] Kick this one for the 90s
[00:54.75] Now kick this one here for Me & My DJ
[00:58.78] Now I was chillin' in Flatbush, mindin' my own
[01:04.23] When a girl walked up with a chrome microphone
[01:06.92] She said, "Hey, MC Lyte, I heard about you
[01:09.53] So here's the microphone, let's see what you can do"
[01:12.58] So I took the microphone and I threw it to the ground
[01:15.13] Cause I need no assist when it comes to gettin' down
[01:17.90] When I start to rap, she starts to shake
[01:20.72] She knew to confront me was truly a mistake
[01:23.43] So she picked the microphone off the grey concrete
[01:26.38] And before I turned around, she was down the street
[01:28.97] Now kick this one for Brooklyn
[01:31.75] Kick this one for the 90s
[01:35.19] Now kick this one here for Me & My DJ
[01:40.53] Now when I'm on the stage, everyone starts starin'
[01:43.27] Is it what I'm sayin', or is it what I'm wearin'?
[01:45.96] 50-50 chance it's what I'm sayin'
[01:49.65] And at the same time what my deejay is playin'
[01:51.53] If you can get hype and sort of like loud
[01:54.35] Yo, K-Rock, kick this one for the crowd
[01:57.04] I been to lots of parties, mostly Uptown
[01:59.70] And one thing I noticed: young people get down
[02:02.66] So hip-hoppers, hip-hoppers, from all around
[02:05.47] Get with the funky sound
[02:07.41] Kick this one for Brooklyn
[02:10.18] Now kick this one for the 90s
[02:13.55] Now kick this one here for Me & My DJ
[02:19.82]
[00:02.60] Kick this one for the 90s
