Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Hello Brooklyn)
Hello Brooklyn, how are you doing?
Where are you going? Can I come too?
And I if can, I'ma be your man
You could be my lady, and have my baby, and drive my car
And drive me crazy, wherever you going
Baby girl, just take me, 'cause I'm so taken, if you taken
I'm just saying, baby, I'm just saying
[Verse 2]
Like a momma, you birthed me, Brooklyn, you nursed me
Schooled me with hard knocks, better than Berkley
They said you'd merk me, by the time I was 21
That shit disturbed me, but you never hurt me
Hello Brooklyn, if we had a daughter
Guess what I'ma call her? Brooklyn Carter
When I left for Virginia, it didn't offend you
'Cause you know I only stepped out to get dinner
And I'm eating, so much I bought extra
So much so, that dinner's now turned into breakfast
I only roll Lexus, to hug your road
I love your corners, I'm half your soul
[Verse 3]
Hello Brooklyn, how are you doing?
Where are you going? Can I come too?
And I if can, I'ma be your man
You could be my lady, and have my baby, and drive my car
And drive me crazy, wherever you go
And baby girl just take me, cause I'm so taken if you taken
I'm just saying, baby, I'm just saying
[Verse 4]
Hello Brooklyn, what's your story?
She said she eating on the run, but she ain't Nore
She say she got a man, but she he ain't worried
But baby I'ma have to rob him like Horry
She say she love B.I.G
And she likes Tupac
And when I say Jay-Z
She say, "It's the Roc"
I'ma leave it like this, like this, like that
Where Brooklyn at?
Where Brooklyn at?
Have you seen her?
And if she tell you something
You better believe her
She told me she like my New Orleans demeanor
And so I said goodbye Katrina and hello Brooklyn
[Verse 5]
But baby, you are the sweetest sight eyes could see
I say, "Hello Brooklyn"
But baby, I hope you never say goodbye to me
I say, "Hello Brooklyn"
But baby you are so damn fine to me
And I remember the time (Time)
Place (Place) and the weather (Woo)
On the day you said hi to me
And I say, "Hello Brooklyn"
[Verse 6]
Brooklyn you crazy, look how you made me
Razor blades in my mouth, walking 'round behaving
All demented, black hoodies and Timberland-ed
Always scheming, you see the gleam on that **** pendant
[Verse 7]
Hello Brooklyn, you bad influence, look what you had me doing
But I ain't mad at you, look at my attitude
It says my life's too real, check out my ice grill
Baby, I'm cold as ice, like I'm from Brownsville
But my bed's in the Stuy, though I'll lie, flat in your bush
Until we smoking C.I., What up to the boy B.I.?
You know I handle B.I., I don't half step on the 'caine
Ask the dreads 'bout I, how you gwaan so?
She likes it hardcore, so I grind slow
Iller than Albee square mall back in the 9-0
My fine hoe, we got some victims to catch
So in a couple years, baby I'ma bring you some Nets
[Verse 8]
Hello Brooklyn, how are you doing? (Yeah)
Where are you going? Can I come too?
And I if can, I'ma be your man
You could be my lady, and have my baby, and drive my car (Skrrt)
And drive me crazy (Skrrt), wherever you going
Baby girl, just take me, 'cause I'm so taken, if you taken
I'm just saying, baby, I'm just saying
[Verse 9]
Hello Brooklyn, b-b-baby, you are
The sweetest thing eyes could see
Hello Brooklyn, baby, I hope
You never say goodbye to me
I say, "Hello Brooklyn"
B-baby, you are so damn fine to me
But I remember the time, place, and the weather
On the day she said hi to me
