  East New York express, brothers don't try to flex
  Only real brothers on these trains, and we know what's best
  Deep meditation, when we start to ride over rhymes
  High port pole, we junction and my chain, it shines
  My confusion on the streets, and we maintain the peace
  Lockin shit down, like masons with coke on the street
  Passing down my sound, my hype lyrics from the over ground
  To dope, they comin close and brothers tried to approach
  So I hid my stash, when I hit Nostra Ave
  Pickin up oils and answer to create a new path
  Possibilities of law corrupt cops are messing up
  Lockin up the wrong brothers, when they should be let out
  Next stop, downtown, deez cats had it locked down
  Sittin vertically and horizontally all around
  So we maintain our focus and hold the fort down
  Cuz we from East New York, and we do get around
  Going uptown and see my man Nutcracker yo
  Brainsick, are you ready to rock this show
  Big Poppa Politics got my people locked down
  So we jungle thru our music, sharing love thru the town
  
  Chorus: Lil Dap
  
  Some people understand, some people don't
  Some people realize, some people won't
  Keep it real to my people in the streets you see
  Understand the street knowledge was your only key
  Some sisters understand, some sisters don't
  Some sisters realize, some sisters won't
  Keep it real to my sisters in the streets you see
  Understand the street knowledge was your only key
  
  {Melachi The Nutcracker}
  Recreation of life, is a natural beauty
  Enhance technicians to do their duty
  Evaluations, of all situations
  Excellent specialists, with information
  Opportunity treatment, for the community
  Re borough businesses, arrange by families
  Additional support, and sternly thought
  Do not get caught, yo for negative things
  Destructive problems or what it brings
  Independency involves emotional distress
  Without focus, yo it's a big mess
  Dependency, I have a room for a neighbor
  Infasize individuals with different behaviors
  Mentally fit, so you can stay legit
  Of the structure values, on this unit
  Sick ethic, social economic backgrounds
  Exhibit extreme, all though protected in this town
  Education is the main priority
  Because there is too poverty in this society
  Uptown, downtown we gotta pay rent
  Prevent the bad, relay are sin
  Don't get bent, because you smokin off the sess
  We from New York on the A Train X-Press, x-press
  
  Chorus: Lil Dap
  
  Some sisters understand, some sisters don't
  Some sisters realize, some sisters won't
  Keep it real to my sisters in the streets you see
  Understand the street knowledge was your only key
  Some brothers understand, some brothers don't
  Some brothers keep it real, some brothers won't
  Keep it real to my brothers in the streets you see
  Understand the street knowledge was your only key
  Some people understand, some people don't
  Some people realize, some people won't
  Keep it real to my people in the streets you see
  Understand the street knowledge was your only key, key
  
  Uh, check it out
  East New York style
  check it out, check it out
