Written by：Norman Whitfield/JAY-Z/Deric "D-Dot" Angelettie/Ronald Anthony "Amen-ra" Lawrence
Uh huh je je je je jeah
Ye ye yeah ye ye yeah
How real is this how real is this
Uh huh huh inspect this here check
I'm from where the hammer's rung new's cameras never come
You and your man's hung in every verse in your rhyme
Where the grams is slung *s vanish every summer
Where the blue vans would come we throw the work in the can and run
Where the plans was to get funds and skate off the set
To achieve this goal quicker sold all my weight wet
Faced with immeasurable odds still I get straight bets
So I felt some more something and you nothing check
I from the other side with other guys don't walk to much
And girls in the projects wouldn't f**k us if we talked too much
So they ran up tompkins and sought them dudes to trust
I don't know what the f**k they thought those *s is foul just like us
I'm from where the beef is inevitable summertime's unforgetable
Boosters in abundance buy a half price sweater new
Your world was everything so everything you said you'd do
You did it couldn't talk about it if you ain't lived it
I from where *s pull your car and argue all day about
Who's the best mc's biggie Jay Z and nas
Where the drugs czars evolve and thugs always are
At each other's throats for the love of foreign cars
Where cats catch cases hoping the judge r and r's
But most times find themselves locked up behind bars
I'm from where they ball and breed rhyme stars
I'm from marcy son just thought I'd remind y'all
Cough up a lung where I'm from marcy son ain't nothing nice
Mentally been many places but I'm brooklyn's own
Cough up a lung where I'm from marcy son ain't nothing nice
Mentally been many places but I'm brooklyn's own
Cough up a lung where I'm from marcy son ain't nothing nice
Mentally been many places but I'm brooklyn's own
Cough up a lung where I'm from marcy son ain't nothing nice
I'm from the place where the chruch is the flakiest
And *s is praying to god so long that they atheist
Where you can't put your vest away and say you'll wear it tomorrow
Cause the day after we'll be saying damn I was just with him yesterday
I'm a block away from hell not enough shots away from straight shells
An ounce away from a triple beam still using a hand held weight scale
Your laughing you know the place well
Where the liqour store's and the base well
And government f**k government *s polotic themselves
Where we call the cops the a team
Cause they hop out of vans and spray things
And life expectancy so low we making out wills at eight teen
Where how you get rid of guys who step out of line your rep solidifies
So tell me when I rap you think I give a f**k who criticize
If the sh*t is lies god strike me
And I got a question are you forgiving guys who live just like me
We'll never know
One day I pray to you and said if I ever blow let 'em know
Mistakes ain't exactly what takes place in the ghetto
Promise fulfilled but still I feel my job ain't done
Cough up a lung where I'm from marcy son ain't nothing nice
Cough up a lung where I'm from marcy son ain't nothing nice
Mentally been many places but I'm brooklyn's own
Cough up a lung where I'm from marcy son ain't nothing nice
Mentally been many places but I'm brooklyn's own
Cough up a lung where I'm from marcy son ain't nothing nice
Mentally been many places but I'm brooklyn's own
Cough up a lung where I'm from marcy son ain't nothing nice
I'm from where they cross over and clap boards
Lost jehovah in place of rap lords listen
I'm up the block round the corner and down the street
From where the pimps prostitutes and the drug lords meet
We make a million off of beats cause our stories is deep
And f**k tomorrow as long as the night before was sweet
*s get lost for weeks in the streets twisted off w**d
And no matter the weather *s know how to draw heat
Whether your four feet or minute size it always starts out with
Three dice and shoot the five
*s thought they douce was live now hit 'em with trips
And I reached down for their money pa forget about this
