Текст песни Hello Brooklyn 2.0, Lil Wayne, Jay Z

[Intro: Beastie Boys]
Hello, Brooklyn!!!

[Chorus: Lil Wayne]
Hello, Brooklyn, how you doin'?
Where you goin', and can I come too?
And If I can, I'ma be your man,
You could be my lady, and have my baby,
And drive my cars, and drive me crazy,
Wherever you goin', baby girl, just take me
‘Cause I'm so taken, if you taken,
I'm just sayin', baby, I'm just sayin'.

[Verse 1: Jay-Z]
Like a mama you birth me, Brooklyn, you nursed me,
Schooled me with hard knocks, better than Berkeley.
They said you'd murk me, by the time I was twenty one,
That shit disturbed me, but you never hurt me.
Hello, Brooklyn! If we had a daughter,
Guess what I'ma call her, Brooklyn Carter.
When I left you for Virginia, it didn't offend ya,
‘Cause you know I only stepped out to get dinner.
And I'm eatin', so much I bought extra,
So much so the dinners now turn into breakfast,
I only roll Lexus to hug your road,
I love your corners, I'm half your soul.

[Chorus]

[Verse 2: Lil Wayne]
Hello, Brooklyn, what's your story?
She said she eatin' on the run but she ain't N.O.R.E,
She said she got a man, but he ain't worried,
But, baby, I'ma have to rob him like Horry.
She said she love B.I.G. and she like 2Pac,
And when I said Jay-Z, she said ‘It's The Roc!'
And I'ma leave it like this, like this, like that.
Where Brooklyn at? Where Brooklyn at?
Have you seen her?
And when she tell you something, you better believe her,
She told me she like my New Orleans demeanor,
And so I said, ‘Goodbye, Katrina, and hello, Brooklyn!'
But, baby, you are the sweetest sight eyes could see,
I said, ‘Hello, Brooklyn!' but, baby, I hope you never say goodbye to me.
I said, ‘Hello, Brooklyn!' baby, you are so damn fine to me,
And I remember the time, place and the weather
On the day you said ‘hi' to me,
And let's say, ‘Hello, Brooklyn!'

[Verse 3: Jay-Z]
Brooklyn, you crazy, look how you made me,
Razor blades in my mouth, walkin' ‘round behavin',
All demented black hoodies and Timberlanded,
Always schemin', ‘you see the gleam on that nigga's pendant?'
Hello, Brooklyn, you bad influence, look what you had me doin',
But I ain't mad at you, look at my attitude,
It says my life's too real, check out my ice grill,
Baby, I'm cold as ice, like I'm from Brownsville,
But my bed's in the Stuy so while I flatten your bush,
Till we smoke a C.I. what up to the boy B.I,
You know I handle B.I., I don't half-step on the ‘caine,
Ask the dreads ‘bout I, how you gwaan so?
She like it hardcore, so I grind slow,
Iller than Albee Square Mall back in the nine-o,
My, fine ho, we got some victims to catch,
So in a couple years, baby, I'ma bring you some Nets.

[Chorus]

[Outro: Lil Wayne]
And hello, Brooklyn! But, baby, you are, the sweetest thing eyes could see.
Hello, Brooklyn! Baby, I hope you never say goodbye to me.
I said, ‘Hello, Brooklyn!' But, baby, you are so damn fine to me.
But I remember the time, place, and the weather on the day you said goodbye to me.
