If You Can Count

Can you count, suckas?

Yeah, right

I said, can you count, suckas

Yeah, right

The future is ours, the future is yours if you can count
Can you dig it?
You've got the Moon Runners right by the Van Cortlandt Rangers
Got the Jones Street Boys by the Turnbull AC's

And nobody's wastin' nobody

And that's a miracle

A miracle
And miracles are

The way things ought to be

Can you dig it?
So far from our turf (our turf)
We fought so hard for our turf (our turf)
Our one little corner of our turf (our turf)
But now can you see
How strong we can be
If we can agree that it's all our turf? (All our turf)
Where we always belong (always belong)
We are sixty thousand strong
We are never backing down
And there's only twenty thousand cops
In this whole damn town

Can you dig it? (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Can you dig it? (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

Remember what you had to do to earn your block
Dead any and all invaders, keep the neighbors on lock
Tag up every nook and cranny, spray cans non-stop
Make a mission of the competition, so your clique is on top
Imagine what I had to do to stay on top
Baddest bitch in the biggest town, shut 'em down, open up shop

Now imagine what we could do if you and your crew
Got with me and my crew, if we, we only knew

We are bigger than the mob

What?

We are bigger than the cops

What?

We are where it all begins

What?

We are where it all stops

What?

Can you dig it? (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

Yeah, right (hey, hey, hey, hey)

Now we keep up the truce
Stand together against dangers

One borough at a time
As our numbers climb

And nobody's wastin' nobody

You are brothers and sisters now
And anywhere you go

You are home free
Can you dig it?

'Cause it's all our turf
We're only divided by turf
Our soldiers have died on our turf
We fall on our pride
Pulled away by the tide
Until we decide
That it's

All our turf
And we know our worth
Now imagine feeling safe
From the top of the boogie down

From Manhattan down to Staten
All through
Coney Island Town

Coney Island Town

Can you dig it
Do you count?
Can you dig it
Can you
