Where Brooklyn at?!" Right here where the crooks is at Every block is a church and we only prayin up in funeral services God watchin, as a kid I used to boost, I was nervous For Fulton Street, the Kings Plaza, had to carry poker chips and hit the store for moms and get the grocery This is where I'm from [Chorus] [Sha Stimuli] You know I come from where the hammer is held, the drugs are sold We trapped in hell, the summer is cold The block is hot, it's outta control, and ever motherfucker could flow for BK, where the heat sprays and replays, like DJs' I flip flows in three ways on one verse for three days You feel it in your system, niggaz call me The Present I got now, I get over and I'm a gift, I'm a legend I'm like Kane, B.I.G., Jay, Fox, Kim, nigga watch Stimuli be in the Top 10, somebody stop him
