Brooklyns Daughter

This is my story, it's how I grew up
Ready to listen, here we go

I'm a beautiful dreamer with a lovely demeanor
A smile I can easily relate
Sincere how I feel, my passion is real
Eyes so hard they won't negotiate
From the little girl with bouncing curls
Making my way through the world
Righteous pride for all to see, I'll make it my reality
Inside I cried a thousand times
Living is hard I need to survive
Concrete jungle, one step at a time

I am Brooklyn's Daughter
It's where my story begins
I am Brooklyn's Daughter
Imbedded under my skin

In the County of Kings
I know what it means to have my back against the wall
I had to fight, I quickly learned
Sometimes we win, sometimes we fall
With pride I rise, my head held high
Can't hold me down, I gotta be strong
I know to whom I belong

I am Brooklyn's Daughter
It's where my story begins
I am Brooklyn's Daughter
Imbedded under my skin
I am Brooklyn's Daughter
It's where my story begins, It's where my story begins
I am Brooklyn's Daughter
Imbedded under my skin

My mother she made me, Brooklyn she raised me
You can't know where you're going, till you know where you've been
The hustle, the lies, my struggle, my stride
My story to the world, something harder to admit
Wa oh oh oh oh, Wa oh oh oh oh
Wa oh oh oh oh, Wa oh oh oh oh
Wa oh oh oh oh, Wa oh oh oh oh
Wa oh oh oh oh, waaaooooo

I am Brooklyn's Daughter, I am Brooklyn's Daughter
It's where my story begins, It's where my story begins
I am Brooklyn's Daughter
Imbedded under my skin

Wa oh oh oh oh, Wa oh oh oh oh
Wa oh oh oh oh, Wa oh oh oh oh
Wa oh oh oh oh, Wa oh oh oh oh
Wa oh oh oh oh, Wa oh oh oh oh
