Penny Jerseys

Brooklyn kids get biz

Shit, you know how it is

Yeah, my whole block was in Penny jerseys

Real shit, yeah

My whole block was in Penny jerseys

Let's take it there, uh

Brooklyn kids get biz and business forever flowing like

Get it how you know it like, it all becomes so alike

Being what you see 'til they put the D's in the open right?

It always seems to get brightest under the lowest lights

We was tryna see what they try and keep out the open right?

Motivated off being the 'need a motive' type

Know the shit that's waiting is giving way

To handing out dinner plates, and camping out sending strays

The balance of bigger names, my pop's name did it all

He said when a winner falls, don't think he ain't win at all

Just think what that winning costs, and fuck tryna get a draw

Leroy Campbell shopping, he said it while getting art

Grew up where the walls was like a gallery

The park was like a canopy

And being under both is what provoke what all the balance be

Seeing where the dope can help you go is what emphatically

Kept me off the stoop more, truly yours

Then I threw my Penny's on, and my block hit a pause

Like, "Skyler them shits is hard"

Then my block hit applause

'Cause I had the jersey with 'em, and it had just hit the stores

And my shit was low key, I was just living God

God help us to see what the park dealt us

Nothing repeated ever

Except when custies was eating better, they'd eat whatever

I was running JV point, getting my three together

Wrong time to be seeing better, it seemed to get us

Back when Illmatic was jumping up out a Rover

Double parked on Waverly, it started to relate to me

Drawn like it was made for me, corner store drapery

But my handle was still there faithfully

When son was saying that he hold a Mack 11

And attacking a reverend

It felt God sent, so we wasn't asking no questions

In front of the park bench where we saw the manic depressives

That could make the floors lift when they got a pack of the essence

Thinking regardless, if we know that that's what's expected

Then we was all in to see what's in back of the dresser

My peoples had older brothers to give 'em access

I was older brother in my crib, dough in the mattress

Still on my Penny shit though, talking through any zip code

Corner 3 like a demo, 'fore the semi's would hit though

I had the black away one and I had the USA one

I wore 'em once a week and it felt like how Nas tape run

Henny was in the freezer, we caught a splash

Bitches would beep us and we'd be like where these quarters at to call 'em back

Moms told me do what you do, but don't be rawing that

I used to try and rip by the stoop but shorties was off of that

I can bird box from the stoop to where the corner at

And every hood feels like a loop if you embark from that

Went to lunch with Penny and told him 'bout every part of that

We ordered the same plates and then traded autographs

'Cause son, my whole block was in Penny jerseys

I wore mine and it felt like the whole city heard me

Son, my whole block was in Penny jerseys

I wore mine and it felt like the whole city heard me

Son, my whole block was in Penny jerseys

I wore mine and it felt like the whole city heard me

Son, my whole block was in Penny jerseys

I wore mine and it felt like the whole city heard me

Real, yeah

Real shit, ha

My whole block was in Penny jerseys

Like literally the whole block, shit was ridiculous

I was more Penny when I stepped on that

Ps-11 court and Emerson court, though

Real shit

My whole block was in Penny jerseys

Wore mine and it felt like the whole city heard me

'Cause Brooklyn kids get biz

Shit, you know how it is

'95 shit
