| Me and my people listened to records and used to rock rhymes all day
|
| We didn’t pay rent, moms had that, monkey on her back
|
| My main concern back then, was kickin funky rap
|
| And fantasizin bout bein signed to Def Jam
|
| Around that time 3rd Bass got dissed by X-Clan
|
| It was a crazy time in hip-hop
|
| Follow the Leader was my shit back then, and got crazy props
|
| Coca-Cola, rugbies and Benettons; |
| the adore of tongues
|
| Graf flicks, summer cookouts in the project halls
|
| Smoky lungs, off to the jam in the park
|
| Where only real MC’s performed and were the ones who had heart
|
| Havin cyphers at gunpoint, b-boppin see you in Hunt’s Point
|
| Cowboy stee', leather vest at one point
|
| So real it is I never thought I’d even make it this far
|
| So real it is I never thought I’d even make it this far
|
| MC’s, you know what we talkin about
|
| DJ’s, y’all know what we talkin about
|
| Write graffiti on the train, do your thing, no doubt
|
| B-Boys and B-Girls, turn the party out
|
| When Red Alert was bangin it on KISS
|
| I made my first demo tape, no better yet I made my first hit
|
| At least I thought it was at the time
|
| Today I think I’m just as nice as all the cats that made me wanna rhyme
|
| It was Kangol, Doc Ice, U.T.F.O.
|
| Roxanne rivalry, I heard it on the radio
|
| The Show was Doug Fresh, the Bronx was at they best
|
| While Rockmaster Scott blew up the live request
|
| Spraypaint was toxic, Shinehead was with the rosters
|
| Days was spent lookin for refridgerator boxes
|
| Battlin MC’s in front of Marlboro Houses
|
| Packin razor blades inside my kangaroo pouches
|
| EPMD and, Run-D.M.C. |
| and
|
| Public Enemy was at the Nausau Coliseum
|
| You shoulda seen 'em, sold out crowds and bright lights
|
| Party people in the place with only one or two fights
|
| I remember how I felt when Scott LaRock got shot
|
| I was there when Greg Nice would beatbox for T-La Rock
|
| And Slick Rick was rockin jewels I never seen before
|
| Non Phixion, you can catch us on the Freshfest Tour! |
