Coney Islands Finest by Torae Lyrics
[Hook]
Cuz I remember Flight was the nicest
I remember Norm was the nicest
I remember Fresh was the nicest
Yea yea we Coney Island's finest
[Verse 1]
I remember Tor, I couldn't hoop though
A little something but not enough to recruit though
I could spit the truth, though, the pen and the pad
Maybe Mighty tell Buck to let me get in the lab
Everyday I used to come out just as soon as the sun out
Have a verse to make these mothafuckas dumb out
Mothafuckas run out, you heard what he said
Spit shit to convince Six he should give me this bread
Like we gon' blow up, awww we gon' blow
FAM entertainment is all you gon' know
Then the block got raided, paper confiscated
Information was stated over sworn affidavits
And just like that our situation was shaded
Under a dark cloud but the dream ain't never faded
Then I turn on the draft and seen that Steph made it
Some was happy and some was hating
[Hook]
Cause I remember Steph was the nicest
I remember Butch was the nicest
R.I.P. Juice was the nicest
Yea yea we Coney Island's finest
I remember 5 was the nicest
Quincy Douby was the nicest
I remember Straw was the nicest
Yea yea we Coney Island's finest
[Verse 2]
I remember Tor, I used to work at McDonald's
I needed money and figured fuckin' with Ronald's
Wouldn't get me locked in a box begging your honor
For phone calls to please talk to my momma
Wouldn't get in no drama just get to this loot
All I need is enough paper just to get in the stu
And maybe cop a few Jordans, fitted hats important
Gotta look the part of the situation you courting
Like we got money, awww we got ends
Let the whole industry know I want in
Then Sylv rolled up to McDonald's pushing his Benz
Told me all his beats was heat and we gon' win
You stuck on this island, you drown or gon' swim
Wouldn't had a demo to shop without him
Then I turned the draft on, and seen Sebastian was in
Damn my hood did it again
[Hook]
Cause I remember Bash was the nicest
I remember Clyde was the nicest
Remember Ju Ju was the nicest
Yea yea we Coney Island's finest
And Leroy Flood was the nicest
Eric Marbury was the nicest
And Tick Tick Boom was the nicest
Yea yea we Coney Island's finest
[Verse 3]
I remember Tor, I'm still the same dude from the block
Every score, every tour, every venue I rock
Coney Isle from my lid to my kicks and socks
You thought wrong if you thinking it's not
How you thinking he got his inspiration?
Started with nathan
Right up the block from the Cyclone and Nathan's
Like that's world famous, you supposed to be too
Some ah get it on the court and some ah get it in the stu
Like they gon' feel us, Coney Island the realist
Ball players, rappers, actors and drug dealers
Teachers and cap peelers all come from the south
Part of Brooklyn you shooken, 1 way in, 1 way out
Known for getting this paper, you can love it or hate us
But could never degrade us, Coney Island the greatest
Cause when SportsCenter said that Lance became a Pacer
You can't front, homie, we major
[Hook]
Cause I remember Lance was the nicest
I remember Stretch was the nicest
And Ville used to think he was the nicest
Yea yea we Coney Island's finest
I remember
I remember
I remember
I remember
I remember Tor
Cuz I remember Flight was the nicest
I remember Norm was the nicest
I remember Fresh was the nicest
Yea yea we Coney Island's finest
[Verse 1]

A little something but not enough to recruit though
