Lyrics
718 sh*t Ayy, why don't y'all take a ride on my side right quick? Uh They say life is what you make of it, Brooklyn always takin' it Take off the nice Seiko watch just for the sake of it Nowadays the borough look different, they gave the face a lift Gentrification sh*t, but it ain't change a bit What do restaurants in a high rise mean? Just more low-key hustlers and high-end fiends I remember when that Starbucks was a lot with large trucks Graffiti all over them b*t*hes, get your squad up North Face bubble with the chunky Glock under Get the ugly face bubble with a rusty box cutter Biggie in the headphones, M.O.P. in the headphones Boot Camp in the headphones, Jay-Z in the headphones Posted in Coney Island trying to run up on a red bone Talkin' extra funny so she see the gold caps Albee Square mall more do your mole and come back For me it's always where I'm from, give a f**k where I'm at (Let's go) (B) Careful when you walk on these blocks (R) You alone? Boy you got heart (O) You must ain't never been in these parts (O) You must ain't never been in these parts (Okay) You obviously in the wrong spot, took the (L) Train and got off on the wrong stop, now (Y) You even wear your chain to the docks? (N) Now you gotta take it off or get shot I rang bells on these avenues before I was a rapper dude All I did was switch up MACs and magazine shoots Young boy movin' all that weed, that was my gra**roots Gun noise jump you out your sleep, that was the last few Breaths the n***a took that's just the Brook, Ds look Drivin' slower than frozen burgers at them cookouts cook No spot's safe, my mans had your lookout shook We spot the safe, nobody get shot, that's a lookout jook (Yeah) The other day I'm buyin' property, a new-a** loft We walk in, the realtor says, "Could you take the durag off?" I made a U-turn, mom dropping you back off Front of the elevator, Joell what you do that for? I said Brooklyn n***as forever wavy, never out of style Like a leather AV or that Yankee New Era navy It's BK wherever he go, 718 my home sweet home But ain't nothing 'bout it sweet, though (B) Careful when you walk on these blocks (R) You alone? Boy you got heart (O) You must ain't never been in these parts (O) You must ain't never been in these parts (Okay) You obviously in the wrong spot, took the (L) Train and got off on the wrong stop, now (Y) You even wear your chain to the docks? (N) Now you gotta take it off or get shot
