Chandler: In Brooklyn, look in the Nolan’s home. They gotta child named Francie. Dat where she roam. Living in the time before telephones. She works all the time to pay off the loans. Her bosses voice drones, and her peers give her threatening tones. To top things off her brothers not mature. In a tough world as serene as a picture. Yeah in Francie’s world she’s still believin’ that there are better places that she could be leavin’. Francie’s dreamin’ that she could go to places worth conceiving. She’s livin in a world with more danger than not. She has to overcome things like a dad on shots. He drinks all night and sleeps all day, they all know he’s throwing his life away.

Chandler: Yeah we got a Brooklyn, Brooklyn state of mind, the serenity here, heals the blind, ooh the racial tension, your house’s pension, people don’t pay attention, oh and did we fail to mention what went wrong, we been in Brooklyn too long. Come to Brooklyn to stay and see, all victims of discrepancy, poverty far as the eye can see, but splendidly we closen our ties, they’re there forever until somebody dies. We find the neglected, and the disrespected, and the unprotected, can we stand together, whether or not, we own a lot.
