✧ 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 seventeens
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 it
I say it

Well my boyfriend's in a band
He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed
I got feathers in my hair
I get down to be poetry
And my jazz collection's rare
I can play most anything
I'm a Brooklyn baby
I'm a Brooklyn baby

They say I'm too young to love you
You 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

And I'm free
I'm free

Well my boyfriend's in a band
He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed
I got feathers in my hair
I get down to be poetry
And my jazz collection's rare
I can play most anything
I'm a Brooklyn baby
I'm a Brooklyn baby

I'm talking 'bout my generation
Talking 'bout the 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 fucking explain it

Well my boyfriend's in a band
He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed
I got feathers in my hair
I get down to be poetry
And my jazz collection's rare
I can play most anything
I'm a Brooklyn baby
I'm a Brooklyn baby

Well my boyfriend's pretty cool
But he's not as cool as me
'Cause I'm a Brooklyn baby
I'm a Brooklyn baby
