| It’s crazy, right?
|
| Listen, listen, listen, I’m from New York City, right?
|
| I’m from the five boroughs
|
| It’s the fact— Listen, when I was a little nigga growing up
|
| When I met this nigga, him and Guru, right? |
| (Mhm)
|
| It probably— What was that, '87, '88? |
| ('88)
|
| '88, I was 16, 17 years old
|
| I was gettin' money in Baltimore, I’m from the Bronx (Okay)
|
| So I respected niggas from outta town coming to another town tryin' to get
|
| money (Aight)
|
| Feel me? |
| So that’s what clicked me with Gang Starr
|
| I thought Guru, God bless him, was my little man
|
| That nigga was ten years older than me
|
| I’m from outside (Okay)
|
| And I thought that, you know
|
| I come from the era where rappers wasn’t really
|
| Uh, admired the way they are now
|
| You feel me? |
| (Right) Them niggas was entertainers to us (Mhm)
|
| We was fuckin' with niggas who threw stones at the penitentiary (Right)
|
| Alright, so, when I got with Gang Starr, it was like
|
| «Yo, I like these niggas, they from outta town, they came here to get money
|
| And they doing they thing, I fuck with them»
|
| Then when they blew, it was, «Ah, that’s dope, they blew
|
| These niggas is legends» |
