This stoop is my throne

This hood is my home

And the sky's always blue by the brownstones

We in Brooklyn, it ain't no Beverly Hills

Basically we pay bills, then chill

It's like east coast bliss, its like west coast diss

We do it like this and you seal it with a kiss

And a pound, that's just how it go down

It's the protocol, do you feel me all?

Saturday afternoon we talk about the night before

And tonight we're gonna do it some more

Sunday morning hear the bands in the church play

All day long, every block there's a new song

Sitting on the stoop in Bed Stuy

Always sayin hi when the brothas walk by

Just proper etiquette

Sitting on the top step

With a bag of chips, sit back, relax, enjoy the trip

We got a neighborly philosophy

I don't mess with you, you don't mess with me

It is what it is, it ain't all hard up in the hood

Sittin on my front stoop and its all good

Boys in wife beaters and corn rows

Wear their pants down low so their briefs can show

Girls be always dressed up

Giving their best stuff

Workin that hairdo

Boys are gonna bless you

Always some commotion at the corner store

That the corner cops chose to ignore

Everybody ride tune to a different song

When they pass by I bob my head along

I don't smoke spliffs but don't mind the aroma

If the deli out of stella then I settle for corona

And I claim my spot for the evening

Let the part begin, we gonna do it again

Sitting on the stoop in Bed Stuy

Always sayin hi when the brothas walk by

Just proper etiquette

Sitting on the top step

With a bag of chips, sit back, relax, enjoy the trip

We got a neighborly philosophy

I don't mess with you, you don't mess with me

It is what it is, it ain't all hard up in the hood

Sittin on my front stoop and its all good

Its all good

Its all good

Cause I l-l-l-l-love my hood

L-l-l-l-love my hood

Its all good

Its all good

Cause I l-l-l-l-love my hood

L-l-l-l-love my hood

Sitting on the stoop in Bed Stuy

Always sayin hi when the brothas walk by

Just proper etiquette

Sitting on the top step

With a bag of chips, sit back, relax, enjoy the trip

We got a neighborly philosophy

I don't mess with you, you don't mess with me

It is what it is, it ain't all hard up in the hood

Sittin on my front stoop and its all good
