| A one two, a one two
|
| A one two, a one two
|
| I’d like to introduce myself.
|
| Many people think this style is terrific
|
| It is kinda different, but lets be specific
|
| Let’s pay respects, dig it
|
| Peace to KRS-ONE & Scott La Rock for the way that they did it
|
| Peace to N.Y., not forgettin'
|
| Rakim and Kane the list is too long to mention, all of yall
|
| But since we here, put your hands up and enjoy yourselves
|
| Cuz we just feelin it on the mic
|
| And I’mma live hiphop for the rest of my life
|
| And I’mma represent for the rest of my life
|
| This is the life back when limits was ice
|
| And niggas would bust, bust with the lyrics on mics
|
| And you could start a house party just by killin the lights
|
| DJ’s was the life of the party
|
| Back when everybody’s favorite song was la di da di
|
| That was love, perfect climax in the club
|
| Then they pump LL cuz they needed the love
|
| Pumas and Nikes, fat laces and shell toes
|
| MC Lyte’s voice alone used to steal the show
|
| Everybody used to build and flow
|
| We took turns with the beat box and watched the cypher grow
|
| Words was dope and fly clothes was fresh
|
| Plus everybody paid respect to Jazzy Jeff
|
| That was dope
|
| NOT ectasy
|
| NOT coke
|
| NOT killin' young kids for coats
|
| NOT teachin' young girls how to sell their souls
|
| NOT runnin' in homes or car jackers
|
| NOT leavin' your own
|
| I wanna go back to flows
|
| Back to beats, breakers and shows
|
| Back to sweats and (?)
|
| Start re-buildin', let me know if you feel it
|
| And I know all yall gon' feel it
|
| And I know it hurts, but I swear you got to hear it
|
| It’s been a long time so you probably fear it
|
| Any misconceptions killed it
|
| Anytime my mics turned on and I’m anywhere near it
|
| Ohhhh
|
| Yes yes yall, you don’t stop
|
| Right about now we got DJ Jazzy Jeff on the wheels of steeeel |
