If You Can Count (Explicit) - Ms. Lauryn Hill

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 ACs

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

We fought so hard for our turf

For one little corner of our turf

But now can you see

How strong we can be

If we can agree that it's all our turf

Where we 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

Can you dig it

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 ***** 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 we are where it all stops

What

Can you dig it

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

Can you dig it

Can you dig it

Do you count

Do you count

Can you dig it

Can you
