I'll speak in my mother tongue And embrace the slang of my Brooklyn roots I won't try to change My colloquial way of speech I don't have anything to prove With the words I choose to use Because I'll speak my message plain as day, I'll spit my rhymes Like straightforward Old school rappers I don't need to sugarcoat my words I don't need to overcomplicate things With my messages I'll take pride in my mother tongue I won't pretend to be something I'm not I'm just a girl from Brooklyn Who has a lot to express.

Mother Tongue
I'll speak in my mother tongue And embrace the slang of my Brooklyn roots I won't try to change My colloquial way of speech I don't have anything to prove With the words I choose to use Because I'll speak my message plain as day, I'll spit my rhymes Like straightforward Old school rappers I don't need to sugarcoat my words I don't need to overcomplicate things With my messages I'll take pride in my mother tongue I won't pretend to be something I'm not I'm just a girl from Brooklyn Who has a lot to express.
