Jay-z - 'Brooklyn' (Go Hard)


(Fades in) 

Brooklyn, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, Brooklyn… 

We go hard… 

We go hard 


Chorus: 

Brooklyn we go hard, we go hard (repeated in background) 

Brooklyn we go hard, we go hard 

(Repeat 6X more)… 

Jay-Z: Ard…go hard 


(Jay-Z) Verse 1: 

This is black hoodie rap, 

There's no fear in my eyes where they're lookin at. 

betta look a map 

be-sides me not like ta eye fight 

me not tink such a ting is worth a man's life, 

but if a man tests my stye, 

I promise he won't like my reply 

boom bye bye, like Buju I'm crucial 

I'm a Brooklyn boy, I may take some gettin' used to 

change snatchin, ain't have it, gotta get it 

same ****’itd from Brownsville to Great British 

fatherless child, mama pulled double shifts 

so the number runners was the only one to hang widdeth 

before u know it, im in the game bang fiddeth 

feel no orangatangs peel-deel kid-aps 

like a ranger is, im dangerous 

tell me what the name of this shiittt 


Chorus: 

Brooklyn we go hard, we go hard (repeated in background) 

Brooklyn we go hard, we go hard 


(Repeat twice more)… 


B-R-O-OK! 

L-Y-N come again! 


(Repeat again) 



(Jay-Z) Verse 2: 

I father, I Brooklyn Dodger them 

I Jack/ I Rob/ I sin, 

Ah man, I'm Jackie Robinson 

cept when I run base, I dodge the pen 

Lucky me, Luckily they didn't get me 

Now when I bring the Nets I'm the black Branch Ricky 

From Brooklyn corners, burnin branches of sticky 

Spread love, Biggie, Brooklyn hippie 

I pity the fool with jewels like Mr. T, 

with no his-story, in my borough, they borrow 

With no intentions of returning to-morrow 

The Sun don't come out for many, like Annie 

half orphan, mama never had an abortion 

papa sorta did, still I managed to live 

I go hard, I owe it all to the crib 


now please tell me what the ***** harder than this? 


Chorus: 

Brooklyn we go hard, we go hard (repeated in background) 

Brooklyn we go hard, we go hard 


(Repeat twice more)… 

B-R-O-OK! 

L-Y-N come again! 

(Repeat again) 



(Santogold) Verse: 


Well Im doin my time due to circumstance 

Crossed that bridge, face the consequence 

Once bid 10, now I payed my dues 

Risk takers we break the rules. 

Gets so dark, but I see good. 

Bedstuy stay high in my neck of the woods. 

Now let it rain now, it's a warning 

*Brooklyn* let it be sworn in 

Gotta make you think workin like we blue collar 

rip it to the core, underneath it all we harder 

right until we quit, bring it to the floor 

One step, one step, give it up more 

the road is rough and the streets a mess 

got big cash dreams and a sick death wish 

robbin out the commercial stash 

to kill the voice screamin in my head 




Chorus: 

Brooklyn we go hard, we go hard (repeated in background) 

Brooklyn we go hard, we go hard 


(Repeat twice more)… 


B-R-O-OK! 

L-Y-N come again! 

(Repeat again)… 

Go hard, go hard 

(Fades out)…
