Song Information
The song composes of an intro, a long verse, and then a chorus at the end. There is a repetitive line about half-way through the song. The line is "By a nigga who couldn't figure". It repeats 3 times and follows the line "Without a doubt I've never been tooken out" and is followed by the line "How to pull a fuckin' gun trigger". Brooklyn Zoo is known for its repetitive chorus at the end of the song. The chorus is "Shame on you when you step through to the Ol' Dirty Bastard, Brooklyn Zoo!". At first it is sung at Jones' normal voice, then gets louder until it is screamed. This line is actually an interpolation of another Ol' Dirty Bastard line from the song Protect Ya Neck by the Wu-Tang Clan from the album Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), in which Ol' Dirty Bastard says "Shame on you, when you step through to the Ol' Dirty Bastard, straight from the Brooklyn Zoo".

“There’s something wonderfully exciting about the quiet sing song of an aeroplane overhead with all the guns in creation lighting out at it, and searchlights feeling their way across the sky like antennae, and the earth shaking snort of the bombs and the whimper of shrapnel pieces when they come down to patter on the roof.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“Rejecting all organs of information ... but my senses, I rid myself of the Pyrrhonisms with which an indulgence in speculations hyperphysical and antiphysical so uselessly occupy and disquiet the mind.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
