about
This groovy empowerment anthem is a song you play at a Black Lives Matter protest AND at the family cookout! It’s full of funk, soul, and a catchy chorus that you’ll no doubt be singing by the end of your first listen.
lyrics
Verse 1
I’m gonna move, right next to Langston where his spirit is still in the air
Gotta hurry before gentrification kicks out my folks with nappy hair
Cuz ain’t nuthin like walkin’ Frederick Douglass when you get that fresh line
So I gotta hurry and stack my chips if I’m gon’ make it there in time
Chorus
Cuz I wanna Brownstone in Harlem, I gotta own one
Brownstone in Harlem, I gotta own one
I’m gonna get one, before it’s said and done
Brownstone in Harlem, I gotta own one
Yeah, Yeah, I gotta own one
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Verse 2
I may be from the A, but I can do a lil shake and you besta believe it baby I’m here to stay
You can knock me down but i’ll get back up, But try me again, you don’t want these problems
I wish they’d leave us the hell alone, cuz everything around they us, they already own
It’s time to leave us fo’ us, I said it’s time to pay some reparations
Chorus
Cuz I wanna Brownstone in Harlem, I gotta own one
Brownstone in Harlem, I gotta own one
I’m gonna get one, before it’s said and done
Brownstone in Harlem, I gotta own one
Yeah, I gotta own one
Yeah, I gotta own one
Yeah, I gotta own one, yeah
Yeah, Yeah
Take it to the Bridge
Bridge
I’m gonna get what’s mine, I’m gonna get what’s mine
I’m gonna get what’s mine, I’m gonna get what’s mine
I said I’m gonna get what’s mine, I’m gonna get what's mine
Sing it to me one mo’ time
I’m gonna get what’s mine, I’m gonna get what’s mine
I’m gonna get what’s mine, I’m gonna get what’s mine
I said I’m gonna get what’s mine, I’m gonna get what's mine
Final Chorus
Brownstone in Harlem, I gotta own one
Brownstone in Harlem, I gotta own one
I’m gonna get one, before it’s said and done
Brownstone in Harlem, I gotta own one
Yeah, I gotta own one
Yeah, Oh I gotta own one
Yeah, I gotta own one,
Brownstone in Harlem, I’m gonna own one
WHOO!
