brooklyn baby 🌚
they say i'm too young to love you
i don't know what i need
they think i don't understand
the freedom land of the 70s
i think i'm too cool to know ya
you say i'm like the ice i freeze
i'm churning out novels like
beat poetry on amphetamines
i say
i say
well, my boyfriend's in a band
he plays guitar while i sing lou reed
i've got feathers in my hear
i get down to beat poetry
and my jazz collection's rare
i can play almost anything
i'm a brooklyn baby
i'm a brooklyn baby
they say i'm too young to love you
they say i'm too dumb to see
they judge me like a picture book
by the colors, like they forgot to read
i think we're like fire and water
i think we're like the wind and sea
you're burning up, i'm cooling down
you're up, i'm down
you're blind, i see
but i'm free
i'm free
well, my boyfriend's in a band
he plays guitar while i sing lou reed
i've got feathers in my hear
i get down to beat poetry
and my jazz collection's rare
i can play almost anything
i'm a brooklyn baby
i'm a brooklyn baby
i'm talking about my generation
talking about that newer nation
and if you don't like it
you can beat it
beat it, baby
you never liked the way i said it
if you don't get it, then forget it
so i don't have to f***ing explain it
and my boyfriend's in a band
he plays guitar while i sing lou reed
i've got feathers in my hear
i get high on hydroponic weed
and my jazz collection's rare
i get down to beat poetry
i'm a brooklyn baby
i'm a brooklyn baby
yeah, my boyfriend's pretty cool
but he's not as cool as me
cause i'm a brooklyn baby
i'm a brooklyn baby
