Текст песни
[Verse 1] I came up on Fulton with the cold-cut stare Pigeon on the fence and a crack in the air Same brownstone steps same chipped up rail Mama said, “Move wise” so I learned that trail I keep my name tucked like a blade in a boot One wrong look, one word and the whole block shoot Not for the cameras not for the clout I been in the back room where they whisper it out Dust on the record and the truth in the cut I don’t need a crown I just need enough [Pre-Chorus] I been patient too long Too much weight too strong You can test me if you want But I don’t fold I don’t stop [Chorus] Brooklyn in my blood Brooklyn in my blood Brooklyn in my blood I don’t budge Brooklyn in my blood Brooklyn in my blood Say my name right or don’t say much (Brooklyn in my blood) (Brooklyn in my blood) [Verse 2] Corner store glare on a rain-streak pane I read faces quick like a subway train Old heads nod when I walk that strip They know I got heat and a cold calm grip I don’t fake soft I don’t play sweet I got a steel spine in my seven-league feet Hustle in the marrow pride in the throat Every scar I wear got a story I wrote They want my voice small want my crown off center I been breaking doors since the first dead winter [Pre-Chorus] I been patient too long Too much weight too strong You can test me if you want But I don’t fold I don’t stop [Chorus] Brooklyn in my blood Brooklyn in my blood Brooklyn in my blood I don’t budge Brooklyn in my blood Brooklyn in my blood Say my name right or don’t say much (Brooklyn in my blood) (Brooklyn in my blood) [Bridge] No mercy in my walk no fear in my jaw I survived that block and I learned my law Hands full of smoke mind full of grit If I take one step I’m committed to it [Chorus] Brooklyn in my blood Brooklyn in my blood Brooklyn in my blood I don’t budge Brooklyn in my blood Brooklyn in my blood Say my name right or don’t say much (Brooklyn in my blood) (Brooklyn in my blood)
