Brooklyn, we go hard  We on the look for the advantage, we work hard  And if we seem to rough it up a bit  We broke but we rich at heart  Pull ourselves up now we won't choke  It's our time, put the lights on us    War tactics, they make me sick  Reel your heart in run away with it  Smile in your face, undermine your back  Got guns for the strength they lack    So if you know another way  You can't look the other way  You know another way  Tell them so right to their face    We think you're a joke  Shove your hope where it don't shine  We think you're a joke  Shove your hope where it don't shine    We think you're a joke  Shove your hope where it don't shine  We think you're a joke  Shove your hope where it don't shine    I pay for what's called  Eccentricity and my wish to evolve  I hear them all say that I got heart  But not everything that it takes    Taint my mind but not my soul  Tell you I got fire  I won't sell it for no payroll  Let 'em hold me down    I know if I know another way  I can't look the other way  I know another way  I'll tell them so right to their face    We think you're a joke  Shove your hope where it don't shine  We think you're a joke  Shove your hope where it don't shine    We think you're a joke  Shove your hope where it don't shine  We think you're a joke  Shove your hope where it don't shine    Entirely, totally  Bring it all together, I want everything  If it's in the spills they had gossip that meant  We can't be poor folks waiting on a trick with your hands out    I got a life that you can call a luck because it was a duty  You, don't mean I ain't payin' dues, you stupid f**k  I'm more in a mind for reaching things that you can't  Just know I'm doing something, you ain't, simple and plain    We think you're a joke  Shove your hope where it don't shine  We think you're a joke  Shove your hope where it don't shine    We think you're a joke  Shove your hope where it don't shine  We think you're a joke  Shove your hope where it don't shine    We think you're a joke  Shove your hope where it don't shine  We think you're a joke  Shove your hope where it don't shine    We think you're a joke  Shove your hope where it don't shine  We think you're a joke  Shove your hope where it don't shine    © DOWNTOWN MUSIC PUBLISHING LLC; EMI APRIL MUSIC INC.; LITTLE JERK MUSIC; RODEOMAN MUSIC;
