Natalie Cole

I stay in B-R double O K-L-Y-N / I intend to let the whole world know / next to blow / go 'head test the pro / got every head noddin' 'til the last one left the show / and yo, it's been a long time comin' / been at it too many years to wind up with nothin' / shed too many tears and still I hear that the future ain't crystal clear but that don't stop me / the streets got me / all my people got me / never by myself / I ever fell my family caught me / faith in them and their faith in me be taking me places that I could wait to see / makin' me push beyond my limits / beyond the gimmicks I've got hard work in it / Coney Island, Flatbush all the way to Fort Greene Brooklyn got me through the fire naw mean?

BROOKLYN TURNED IT OUT / WITHOUT A DOUBT

I'M THE PLAYER THEY BE TALKING ABOUT!



I've seen too many dark days that almost got me / too many nay sayers trying to knock me / too many haters who straight forgot me / but I've got too much heart for all of them to stop me / Too many hours in this power struggle trying to bubble and come up / doubled my efforts / run from sun up to sun down, grinding / shining when I come 'round / blinding 'cause I've got dreams a fella's trying to run down / and this ain't easy, man believe me I just make it look that way / twist and left them shook that way / stay at it 'til I'm tappin' on the door of success / more or less I never rest until I'm gaspin' for breath / and I won't stop 'til I drop knowing most times in life you only get one shot / going all out for me, my family and my team / their love got me through the fire 'naw mean?
