Bed Stuy :)
I wanna tell you about a place that I currently call home, Bed Stuy. Located in Brooklyn, its the birth place of such celebrities as the Notorious BIG, Chris Rock, Mike Tyson, Lil Kim, Spike Lee, Jay-Z, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, O.D.B, and Norah Jones. Although I'm sure none of them currently live here, they still shine through out the streets. You can't walk a block with out hearing Biggie blasting from a barber shop, Talib still plays local shows, and ODB murals are everywhere. People here like to "represent" and I love that.
On every corner, Bed Stuy has what they call "bodegas". I guess the way you would describe them is a convenient store, liquor store, and a deli all in one; what more could you ask for? A few doors down from every bodega seems to be a 24 hour fried chicken and pizza place. If a place serves fried chicken, then they also serve pizza, once again, no complaints here. If I need to do laundry, I have my options, about 6 laundry mats in a 3 block radius. All offering the same thing, but of course its nice to have variety. If you go out after dark, just keep to yourself.....and don't forget to buy a 3$ 40oz of St. Ides at your local bodega, that just says "Don't fuck with me, I'm Local!"

W O R D S
---x---
I felt it first but not the second time
It crawled right up into my spine
You might think that its just a tease, but its just what I need
Flowing through my mind, eliminating time
Get out on the floor
Like never before
You should be dancin, romancin
With the rest of us
With the best of us
---feelin biggie---
I got one on my page, one in the cage, and everybody is just sitting their fighting the rage
I'm hitting bitches, flippin switches, and everyone thinks that I'm fuckin around
Keep thinkin that and you might end up in the ground
--bad tunes--
Its like poison to my ears
Erasing all but my fears
Eyes rolling back in to my head
I'm thinkin soon I might be dead
And I'll be seeing you too soon
But I fall back in to reality
Keeping you far from me
Thats just the way its gotta be
I felt it first but not the second time
It crawled right up into my spine
You might think that its just a tease, but its just what I need
Flowing through my mind, eliminating time
Get out on the floor
Like never before

Keeping you far from me
Thats just the way its gotta be
falling out of love at this volume
tell me what you wanted to hear
let me do the right thing
let me do the wrong thing
and if it's ever this clear
i will only say it once
just let me turn the amps way up
so you can hear nothing
and if i die tonight then i guess i die tonight
let me go on
just say what you wanted to say
i cannot stand these talks dear
they only get us nowhere
it's never resolved
we only run around
you wanna tell me anyone could be just like me
if it's a different time and a different place to be
you would go on
let me do the wrong thing
and if it's ever this clear
i will only say it once
just let me turn the amps way up
so you can hear nothing
and if i die tonight then i guess i die tonight
let me go on
just say what you wanted to say
i cannot stand these talks dear
they only get us nowhere
it's never resolved
we only run around
you wanna tell me anyone could be just like me
if it's a different time and a different place to be
you would go on
words
Finding truth in your words, all I know is this curse. Take me, not far from home, cause its all I know. Follow me into the street, together we can make a beat. Don't touch it, don't break it, don't even embrace it. Take more you see, the more you know, the more you'll let go.
