Count of Kings by Tes Uno Lyrics
I was born in Brooklyn in the eight month of the year
17th day somewhere near the Brooklyn Navy Pierre
17th Street Dog Day afternoons
Under Brooklyn suns reflecting off Brooklyn moons
Elevated platforms and transit for transportation
Playing stoop ball and stick ball during lazy Summer vacation
Ten cent ice and quarter drinks drying dishes by sinks
Skating at roller rinks catching hypnotising winks
Making me wonder in waves of lightning and thunder
Free lunch in the summer PS 81 when I was younger
Dipping to Knickerbocker Bushwick to see the doctor
Brooklyn's been in the house before the words of Big Poppa
A lot of neighborhoods in other boroughs like to talk
In comparison they live in the suburbs next to East New York
Take the L to Flatlands 2,3 to BK Heights
The G to Greenpoint the 2,5 for Flatbush sights
Prospects after Sunset taught me when and when not to run yet Explored Kings for years and I'm still not half done yet
Hop on the Parkway go fishing at Sheepshead Bay Slide to Astroland Park complete the Brooklyn day
B to the R to the Double OK
L to Y and you know I don't play
4x
Go Brooklyn, Go Brooklyn
Go Brooklyn Go Brooklyn
Not Queens not Manhattan not Bronx not Staten
Go Brooklyn, Go Brooklyn
Go Brooklyn Go Brooklyn
Not Queens not Manhattan not Bronx not Staten
Welcome to the County of Kings
A city so diverse plus unusual things
The biggest borough with an even bigger rep
From freaks in Coney Island to stick up kids in Bushwick
The place where LL got his radio jacked
The place you hear the illest spitting in rap
From the East River to the Atlantic Ocean
King of the east no fronting or posing
We don't wear crown we wear caps
We don't wear tight jeans we wear slacks
No tucked shirts not even to work
We stay spaced out word to captain kirk
We don't need to talk the talk we walk the walk
There's no place like Brooklyn New York
We don't need to talk the talk we walk the walk there's no place like Brooklyn New York
We don't need to talk the talk we walk the walk
There's no place like Brooklyn New York
We don't need to talk the talk we walk the walk there's no place like Brooklyn New York<
B to the R to the Double OK
L to Y and you know I don't play

Go Brooklyn, Go Brooklyn
Go Brooklyn Go Brooklyn
Not Queens not Manhattan not Bronx not Staten
Go Brooklyn, Go Brooklyn
Go Brooklyn Go Brooklyn
Not Queens not Manhattan not Bronx not Staten
