Brooklyn Is Burning Lyrics

you strangle people with a peircing stare I can't believe I made it
the way you operate is so severe, I hate it
you strangle people with a sneering grin I can't believe I made it
brooklyn is burning down the discotheque, lets shake it
I feel the fire tonight, I hear I hear the people cry
I see the people now, I got I got want the people want
you send the message in the atmosphere and everyone starts running
the way you operate is so severe, so cunning
you send a message in your beedy stare and everyone starts running
brooklyn is burning and by your side we're dancing

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This reminds me of this girl who is an utter and complete bitch.. she is known as a bitch in our school. She hates me, I hate her. She's out to make people feel like shit, scare/intimidate them and always gets what she wants.

To me, this song has her name written all over it. Oh and it's just fucking awesome cause it makes me want to dance like super smooth and well, that's just awesome.

I concur with Schrei, this song has Spot written all over it. In fact, the only reason i knew this song EXISTED is because of a video about Spot on YouTube by abbyluna. Anyway, i love it, it's kind of my personal themesong, too. lol. i can be really intimidating when i want to be. ask my friends. lol.
