Kids on the Porch
[Intro: Girl, Dillmatic]
ISO Indies? Where y'all from?
ISO (ISO)
Indies (Indies)
Yeah
Live free, live free, speak your peace
Stay humble, stay humble, in these streets, yeah
In these streets
Let's go
[Chorus: ConchezYout]
Playground parks with the trees and the courts
Brownstone buildings with the kids on the porch
Murals on the walls for the ones that we lost
Bodegas on the corner, lemme see what's in store
Subway stations with the maps and the cars
Summer cookouts, Uncle got the sandals on
Statue of Liberty, we holdin' up the torch
If they ask where I'm from
Tell 'em this is New York
[Verse 1: ConchezYout]
We from the home of the Biggie
People blowin' they ciggies (Brooklyn)
And these girls goin' wild
'Cause they flashin' they titties, it's Litty (Ay)
Watch your steps, 'cause these blocks be shitty (Ew)
We grew up on that "Bad Boy" in '96 with Diddy (Uh-huh)
Take a walk, come with me (Word)
Let me show you what really go down
Fiends on the Corner, every hood got a Deli or Crowns
Cops pull us over, it don't matter if you black or you brown (Woo)
City never sleeps, this the place to where hip-hop was found
[Chorus: Dillmatic]
Playground parks with the trees and the courts
Brownstone buildings with the kids on the porch
Murals on the walls for the ones that we lost
Bodegas on the corner, lemme see what's in store
Subway stations with the maps and the cars
Summer cookouts, Uncle got the sandals on
Statue of Liberty, we holdin' up the torch
If they ask where I'm from
Tell 'em this is New York
[Verse 2: Dillmatic]
I look around as I'm viewin' the city
Skyscrapers and bridges, bright lights, fast life, Manhattan livin'
Cross over downtown, welcome to the concrete
The Nets to Barclays, the Mets to Yankees
Uber's and yellow taxis (Word)
NY on my fitted with some butters
We hood savvy when tight jeans was baggy
From JFK to LaGuardia, city that never sleeps, insomnia
Home of junior mafia word
[Chorus: Dillmatic]
Playground parks with the trees and the courts
Brownstone buildings with the kids on the porch
Murals on the walls for the ones that we lost
Bodegas on the corner, lemme see what's in store
Subway stations with the maps and the cars
Summer cookouts, Uncle got the sandals on
Statue of Liberty, we holdin' up the torch
If they ask where I'm from
Tell 'em this is New York
[Outro: ISO Indies]
Brooklyn, Brooklyn
BK all day, BK all-day
We go hard (We go hard, ISO)
Brooklyn, Brooklyn
BK all day, BK all-day
We go hard (We go hard)
(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
(Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah) Uh
Let peace, stress-free and let it be
God got a bigger plan for you and me
Let peace, stress-free and let it be
God got a bigger plan for you and me
Let peace, stress-free and let it be
God got a bigger plan for you and me
Yeah
