Oh Brooklyn (A Trini Grows in Brooklyn) Lyrics

Oh

Oh

Oh

Oh

Yeah

Yeah

Brooklyn

Brooklyn

Walking down

The city streets

Yeah yeah

What I see

Around me

Brooklyn

Brooklyn

People everywhere

(People everywhere)

Rushing to and fro

(Rushing to and fro)

But where do I go

I don't know

Do you know?

Mrs. Ross questioned me

Do you know?

Where you going to?

Do you like

The things that life

Is showing you?

Oh Brooklyn

I'm all turned around

Trying to give

You a smile

And not this frown

Brooklyn

Brooklyn

Brooklyn Brooklyn yeah

You know

(You know)

Crown heights will always

Have a piece of my heart

(My heart my my heart)

The place where

I was raised

(Raised)

The place where

I got my start

(In Brooklyn)

Park Slope was

Calling me

(Bon nuit cherie)

Walked through bed stuy

(Bed Stuy do or die)

And brownsville too

Sunset park was

A splash for the Summer

And coney island

And brighton too

Brooklyn

Oh

Oh

Yeah

Yeah

Brooklyn

Moved to canarsie

As a teen

Yeah yeah

(East flatbush)

High school out

In bay ridge

Two fare zone

What is this?

What is it?

Worked in kew gardens

Queens

With manhattan dreams

(Dreams)

But Brooklyn

Won't let me go

Brooklyn's possessive

Don't you know

Hummm

It's sexual

It's trying to convince me

That I'm a

Black magic woman

(Hummm black magic woman)

But it's Brooklyn

It's Brooklyn

Oh Brooklyn

(It's Brooklyn)

Brooklyn

Crossed the marine

Parkway bridge

Can't believe Brooklyn

Let me live

Whenever I try to

Double back back

Brooklyn always

Greets me

With a

Brooklyn

Lefferts gardens

China town

Midwood

Cobble hill

(Oh Brooklyn)

Oh

New lots

Red hook

East new york

Dyker heights

Sheepshead bay

Fort green

Oh Brooklyn
