Written by:Norman Whitfield/JAY-Z/Deric "D-Dot" Angelettie/Ronald Anthony "Amen-ra" Lawrence[00:00:01]
Uh huh je je je je jeah[00:00:01]
Ye ye yeah ye ye yeah[00:00:05]
How real is this how real is this[00:00:11]
Uh huh huh inspect this here check[00:00:18]
I'm from where the hammer's rung new's cameras never come[00:00:24]
You and your man's hung in every verse in your rhyme[00:00:26]
Where the grams is slung *s vanish every summer[00:00:29]
Where the blue vans would come we throw the work in the can and run[00:00:32]
Where the plans was to get funds and skate off the set[00:00:35]
To achieve this goal quicker sold all my weight wet[00:00:38]
Faced with immeasurable odds still I get straight bets[00:00:41]
So I felt some more something and you nothing check[00:00:44]
I from the other side with other guys don't walk to much[00:00:47]
And girls in the projects wouldn't f**k us if we talked too much[00:00:50]
So they ran up tompkins and sought them dudes to trust[00:00:53]
I don't know what the f**k they thought those *s is foul just like us[00:00:56]
I'm from where the beef is inevitable summertime's unforgetable[00:00:59]
Boosters in abundance buy a half price sweater new[00:01:02]
Your world was everything so everything you said you'd do[00:01:05]
You did it couldn't talk about it if you ain't lived it[00:01:08]
I from where *s pull your car and argue all day about[00:01:11]
Who's the best mc's biggie Jay Z and nas[00:01:14]
Where the drugs czars evolve and thugs always are[00:01:16]
At each other's throats for the love of foreign cars[00:01:20]
Where cats catch cases hoping the judge r and r's[00:01:23]
But most times find themselves locked up behind bars[00:01:26]
I'm from where they ball and breed rhyme stars[00:01:29]
I'm from marcy son just thought I'd remind y'all[00:01:32]
Cough up a lung where I'm from marcy son ain't nothing nice[00:01:35]
Mentally been many places but I'm brooklyn's own[00:01:38]
Cough up a lung where I'm from marcy son ain't nothing nice[00:01:41]
Mentally been many places but I'm brooklyn's own[00:01:44]
Cough up a lung where I'm from marcy son ain't nothing nice[00:01:47]
Mentally been many places but I'm brooklyn's own[00:01:50]
Cough up a lung where I'm from marcy son ain't nothing nice[00:01:53]
I'm from the place where the chruch is the flakiest[00:01:58]
And *s is praying to god so long that they atheist[00:02:01]
Where you can't put your vest away and say you'll wear it tomorrow[00:02:04]
Cause the day after we'll be saying damn I was just with him yesterday[00:02:07]
I'm a block away from hell not enough shots away from straight shells[00:02:10]
An ounce away from a triple beam still using a hand held weight scale[00:02:13]
Your laughing you know the place well[00:02:16]
Where the liqour store's and the base well[00:02:18]
And government f**k government *s polotic themselves[00:02:19]
Where we call the cops the a team[00:02:22]
Cause they hop out of vans and spray things[00:02:24]
And life expectancy so low we making out wills at eight teen[00:02:25]
Where how you get rid of guys who step out of line your rep solidifies[00:02:28]
So tell me when I rap you think I give a f**k who criticize[00:02:31]
If the sh*t is lies god strike me[00:02:34]
And I got a question are you forgiving guys who live just like me[00:02:36]
We'll never know[00:02:39]
One day I pray to you and said if I ever blow let 'em know[00:02:40]
Mistakes ain't exactly what takes place in the ghetto[00:02:43]
Promise fulfilled but still I feel my job ain't done[00:02:45]
Cough up a lung where I'm from marcy son ain't nothing nice[00:02:49]
Cough up a lung where I'm from marcy son ain't nothing nice[00:02:52]
Mentally been many places but I'm brooklyn's own[00:02:55]
Cough up a lung where I'm from marcy son ain't nothing nice[00:02:58]
Mentally been many places but I'm brooklyn's own[00:03:01]
Cough up a lung where I'm from marcy son ain't nothing nice[00:03:04]
Mentally been many places but I'm brooklyn's own[00:03:08]
Cough up a lung where I'm from marcy son ain't nothing nice[00:03:09]
I'm from where they cross over and clap boards[00:03:15]
Lost jehovah in place of rap lords listen[00:03:18]
I'm up the block round the corner and down the street[00:03:22]
From where the pimps prostitutes and the drug lords meet[00:03:24]
We make a million off of beats cause our stories is deep[00:03:27]
And f**k tomorrow as long as the night before was sweet[00:03:30]
*s get lost for weeks in the streets twisted off w**d[00:03:33]
And no matter the weather *s know how to draw heat[00:03:36]
Whether your four feet or minute size it always starts out with[00:03:39]
Three dice and shoot the five[00:03:43]
*s thought they douce was live now hit 'em with trips[00:03:46]
And I reached down for their money pa forget about this[00:03:48]
This time around it's platinum like the sh*t on my wrist[00:03:51]
And this glock on my waist y'all can't do sh*t about this[00:03:54]
*s will show you love that's how they fool thugs[00:03:57]
Before you know it your lying in a pool of blood[00:04:00]
Cough up a lung where I'm from marcy son ain't nothing nice[00:04:03]
Mentally been many places but I'm brooklyn's own[00:04:06]
Cough up a lung where I'm from marcy son ain't nothing nice[00:04:09]
Mentally been many places but I'm brooklyn's own[00:04:11]
Cough up a lung where I'm from marcy son ain't nothing nice[00:04:15]
Mentally been many places but I'm brooklyn's own[00:04:18]
Cough up a lung where I'm from marcy son ain't nothing nice[00:04:20]
