The Planet - GangStarr

[Guru] 
Boom bash dash  I had to break  I had to getaway 
Packed my bags  to leave for good  it was a Monday 
Kissed my mother  gave my pops a pound 
Then he hugged me  and then he turned around 
I threw the duffelbag over my shoulder 
It was time to get props kid  cause now I'm older 
Time to fend for myself jack 
So I'ma go for mine  and maybe never come back 
Stopped at the lye spot before I hit the train station 
Needed some boom for the mental relaxation 
It took the last of my loot to make this move Troop 
But I ain't even tryin to work in a suit 
Plus my aunt's got a room that's for rent 
As long as there's no hoes and I don't come home bent 
So fuck the bullshit I'm audi 
I'm on a mission, cause if I stay I'll go crazy 
I'm gonna make it god damnit 
Out in B-R-double-O-K-Lyn, The Planet 
They never fake it just slam it 
Out in B-R-O-O-K-Lyn, The Planet 
Crash boom bang I used to hang at Four Corners 
And all the spots in Beantown where niggaz carry burners 
But I was more turned on by the micraphone 
So one cold morning, I left home 
Next I'm smokin blunts on ? 
Or workin in a mail room Uptown, feelin sick and 
tired, of payin all these fucked up dues 
I wasn't tryin to lose -- I refused 
Had a chick Uptown, one in Queens and one in Jersey 
Sometimes all you need to get by, is a girlie 
But yo I still wasn't happy 
I seen a lot of ill shit on my block, happen nightly 
East New York is no joke kid 
And peace to my man Hass doin his bad 
I went to Flatbush to buy incense and weed 
Stopped at the bookstands for somethin to read 
That shit was rough cause my pockets was bare 
and like the sayin goes, sometimes life ain't fair 
But in my heart there ain't no quittin 
So I stayed up late, to write some rhymes to some rhythms 
Seconds away from just flippin 
But fuckit I'll maintain, one day I'll be hittin 
See I'ma make it god damnit 
Out in B-R-double-O-K-Lyn
