Bucktown Lyrics

I walk around town with my pound strapped down to my side
No frontin', just in case I gotta smoke some
Around here headz don't act their age
Ya might be another dead boy on the front page

Enter the cipher withcha lighter
El's are ready prepare to run another all nighter
But keep watch for the cops 'cuz they rock glocks
Comin' on the block tryin' to rock knots

Pigs be actin' like they bigga than us niggaz from da streets
'Cuz we stalk mad deep when they walk beats
I guess they hold a grudge 'cuz I won't budge
Playin' tough, starin' down da judge with my hands cuffed

Standing there with my nappy hair and my dirty gear, aw yeah
Now, I'm up outta here
Pigs look me up and down with a frown
Is it 'cuz I'm brown or is it I'm from Bucktown?

Bucktown, home of Da Originoo Gunn Clapperz
Bucktown, home of Da Originoo Gunn Clapperz
Bucktown, home of Da Originoo Gunn Clapperz
Bucktown, home of Da Originoo Gunn Clapperz

Bucktown, home of Da Originoo Gunn Clapperz
Bucktown, home of Da Originoo Gunn Clapperz
Bucktown, home of Da Originoo Gunn Clapperz
Bucktown, home of Da Originoo Gunn Clapperz

Got five MC's that wanna come test
We got ya nooses hangin' over da trees
Bring on your sounds kid, drown by my massive
Kill your body, boy, and take your lover for hostage

Knock, knock, maybe not the four shots empty
On the violator that was sent out to get me
I'm tore up from the floor up and every thing's black
But still I'm on point ready to buck, ain't nothin' sweet Jack

Bucktown, I represent it on the love, love
Deeply rooted from my Tims to by dick above
Don't sweat the bulge comin' from my hip
Grip what ya did hit when I let my tool click

Nowhere to run, ambush lurks in the dark
Heltah Skeltah smirks while you're gettin' torn apart
Here come the Rude Boys with the ganja plants
Smif-N-Wesson and I roll with the Boot Camp

Bucktown, home of Da Originoo Gunn Clapperz
Bucktown, home of Da Originoo Gunn Clapperz
Bucktown, home of Da Originoo Gunn Clapperz
Bucktown, home of Da Originoo Gunn Clapperz

Bucktown, home of Da Originoo Gunn Clapperz
Bucktown, home of Da Originoo Gunn Clapperz
Bucktown, home of Da Originoo Gunn Clapperz
Home of da originoo, home of da originoo
Bucktown, home of Da Originoo Gunn Clapperz

Another murderer, just another prankster
Rude Boy dead 'cause he thought he was a gangsta
Tried ta live da life of a hood from the streets
Test da wrong dread, now I'm in eternal sleep

Mr. Ripper I lurk in da stuy
Twist da ganja 'cause I want ta get high
With my Breaddren, a boodah session, learn ya lesson
Or get blasted by Mr. Smif or Mr. Wessun

Bucktown's everywhere I swear
It's clear to me, you feel the weed, now I really see
Night falls around the way, Originoo heads come out to play
Puff herb, break day, it's just a regular, everyday state of being I
Mind holds the weight, rhymes free the mind in time
I find reality follows me where I roam, 360 degrees back home in

Bucktown, home of Da Originoo Gunn Clapperz
Bucktown, home of Da Originoo Gunn Clapperz
Bucktown, home of Da Originoo Gunn Clapperz
Bucktown, home of Da Originoo Gunn Clapperz

Bucktown, home of Da Originoo Gunn Clapperz
Bucktown, home of Da Originoo Gunn Clapperz
Bucktown, home of Da Originoo Gunn Clapperz
Bucktown, home of Da Originoo Gunn Clapperz

Smif-n-Wessun (aka Cocoa Brovaz) is a hip hop duo consisting of members Tek and Steele. Smif-n-Wessun comprise one-fourth of the Brownsville, Brooklyn supergroup Boot Camp Clik, with Buckshot, Heltah Skeltah and O.G.C. Both members are known for their Jamaican Patois during their raps, which was more evident during the earlier stages of their career. this powerful tandem got their start on Black Moon's classic debut, Enta Da Stage, in 1993. Rudeboy MCs Tek and General Steele made their presence felt on the cuts "U Da Man" and "Black Smif N' Wessun." In early 1994, the crew scored a massive underground hit with "Bucktown," a reference to their violence-plagued Bedford-Stuyvesant stomping grounds and "home of the original gun clappas."

Their debut LP, Dah Shinin', followed soon thereafter, unleashing more heavy artillery from the military-minded BCC. With a canvas of dark, gluttonous beats provided by the gifted Beatminerz production squad, the duo expanded the limits of harsh sounding, neck-snapping hip-hop by adding a melodic element. The crew released their album during the heyday of one of the '90s most influential independent hip-hop labels, Nervous Wreck Records, which many other indies (Rawkus) have patterned themselves around. Their name alone implies violence, but the weaponry they deploy is also of the verbal variety. Tek and Steele both possess signature flows, the former a bit more straight-laced while the latter showcases West Indian influences. Dah Shinin' was a focused album with a sharp compacted sound that still contained depth, albeit strictly from the dark side.

Forced to reincarnate themselves after a legal battle with the Smith and Wesson firearm company, the duo resurfaced in 1997 as the Cocoa Brovaz, a reference to their heritage and also to their marijuana fixation. Their second album (and first as the Cocoa Bs), 1998's The Rude Awakening, was a more sprawling and chaotic venture, as well as being a shade more frighteningly dark. Since 1998, the two partners have released a few singles, including "Super Brooklyn," which features a superbly innovative use of a sample from the old Super Mario Bros. Nintendo game.

They got signed to leading underground record label Rawkus Records but never released an album on the label. Thay joined back up with the Boot Camp Clik in 2002 for the album The Chosen Few. In September 2005, they returned as Smif-N-Wessun for the album Reloaded. Read more on Last.fm.
