Brooklyn Kids - Jemini The Gifted One

One  two y'all 
Old school y'all 

Allow me if you will 
to indulge my verbal skill into a scene 
about the feeble minded schemes of a teen 
I tried to stay alive and I strived 
Sometimes I even cried 
I was only ten years plus five 
Nevertheless 
**** gave me stress 
my addiction to sess 
led to my first conviction and arrest 
yes yes 
the East New York style was like the wild wild west 
'cuz if you had to impress 
when you dressed in fresh gear 
"Hey yo, we only rockin' Bally's over here!" 
this year if you ain't got it 
you still could be down but play the rear 
you come to the section that I'm from 
ry to rock your fresh apparel 
and you'll be starin' down the barrel of a gun 
remember '83 and '84 in high school 
come December the jewel was the Brooklyn rule 
the restroom was off limits to the herbs 
cuz we was shootin' celo from the palms to the curbs 
lady luck be with me, daddy needs a new pair of shoes 
but daddy hates to lose so somebody got to get abused 
you think you jettin' with my dough, hell no 
nigga you don't know my steelo 
we 'bout to take a vote on your sheepskin coat 
and your phat gold rope chain 
you had to be insane to even get into the game 
it's me you need to thank 
that you're only gettin' ganked point blank 
my homeboy Tank got the shank 

that's how it was, so this is how it is 
you got to keep it real when you deal with them Brooklyn kids 

the Zulus dropped jewels on a school called **** 
now it's graphics, the gods had crazy mathematics 
chicks Uptown wore Louis Vuitton and Fendi 
wasn't friendl
