[Talib Kweli]
Growing up in Brooklyn, shit I thought that
everybody talked this way Raised on Rakim and
Run-D.M.C., so we thought that everybody (walked
this way) "We fresh, we chill, we def, we ill,"
it's just some things that was taught to say And
every Saturday morning, I watched cartoons with a
bowl of Frosted Flakes And.. the puberty came,
started hitting them cuties with game and the
truancy came (uh!) Started cutting in acting
class, I was comin all fast, I was new to the game
(uh!) Used to playin on T.V., courtesy of video
music box Plus! Knew a lot of hustlas, goin O.T.,
comin back with the new hip-hop Like! E-40 holding
down the yay (that yay), N.W.A. in L.A. OutKast
from the A-Town, way down in Houston they play the
UGK I walk and talk kinda fast and thought of as a
New York kinda rhymer (word is bond) But must New
Yorkers got family in South and North Carolina
(come on!) L.A. is little Alabama, they walk and
they talk with a country grammar And you think
everybody else sound country, so they get started,
started callin 'em "Bama Down south where we buy
them hammers, down south where we sell them drugs
Down south where life is cheap, where they quick
to fill you up with slugs
[Chorus Talib Kweli w/ Raheem DeVaughn singing in
background]
It's nothin, I'm from New York but I got country
cousins It's nothin, you stay connected by the
slang you bustin Want it simply put? You can't rip
me when I spit for the Section One free I'ma
underground king, nigga Pimp C free Word up to my
man Bun B what? It's nothin, I'm from New York but
I got country cousins It's nothin, you stay
connected by the slang you bustin The thing you
bustin, the game you hustlin, the days your cuttin
The flame you cuffin and the lames you snuffin,
your name is nothin!
[Bun B]
Growing up in P.A., I knew nobody out there talked
like us Nothin but that county slang, "What up
dog? What up cuzz?" Late night you see us guzzling
40's, menthols, wine, and weed Sitting on the back
porch, getting zooted, feeling fine in deed
Listening to Eric B.and Rakim or EPMD Cool C and
Steady B, plus that Public Enemy Not to mention
N.W.A., DJ Quik, and MC Eiht Down south we listen
to it all, we didn't discriminate Better off them
Geto Boys, Raheem, and the Royal Flush Rap-A-Lot
Records based out in Houston, represents for us
O.G. style, they cars, fix them vogues with human
trouble Our squad is gangsta nigga, put it down
for H-Town on the double So I said, "It's time to
hustle," got down with my brother C Put together
UGK and shit the rest is history We make hits by
the dozen, put it down when they said we wasn't
Trust me it's nothin, just another day in the life
for country cousins
[Chorus]
[Pimp C]
In Brooklyn, New York I'm down with Large and Marl
Back in P.A.T., man we be sippin the barre I'm
down with J. from Houston and I think it should be
But when I'm mobbin L.A. I fuck with Ice-T Short
Dog is my O.G., we been down forever Taught me the
game, lane to lane, and keep my pimpin together
Niggaz don't understand by far back in the day It
was amazing and my brother put me up on Black Star
Starving blacks on the news, I weighed Cause we
isolate ourselves and give our ghetto pass away My
niggaz passed away in an unreal way They mommas
depleted, I'm just tryna make sure that their kids
straight I'm on the chitalin tour with my mic in
my hand Shittin on these jealous niggaz in the new
world clan I wouldn't trade it for nothin, only a
crazy man would I represent for the whole South, I
made it just for my hood The pimpin's good...
[Raheem DeVaughn]
I got cousins (I got cousins), country cousins
(country cousins) Like blood that's thicker than
water (it's nothin), down dirty 'cross the border
I got cousins (I got cousins), country cousins
(country cousins) Like blood that's thicker than
water (it's nothin), down dirty 'cross the border
In my country cousins!
