| Tonight’s a special night
|
| So remember with pride, these 20 happy years
|
| I can’t leave my b-boys alone
|
| I can’t leave my b-girls alone
|
| Let’s turn this house right into a home
|
| C’mon y’all let’s get into the zone
|
| Vibrate or mute or cellular phone
|
| In here they might already be on roam
|
| Minds are blown, I’m showin
|
| You ain’t gotta go major you can do it alone
|
| As I look back on all the years, all the tears
|
| All my peers, in fear
|
| I hear, insecurity, the need for clout
|
| Low self-esteem and self doubt
|
| KRS lays out a whole different route
|
| And shows you what hip-hop is really all about
|
| Then we on the route, release self doubt
|
| And sing with the feds when the fear is out now
|
| Clear 'em out now, from the bottom to the tip-top
|
| Take the vow, I am hip-hop
|
| And recreate yourself, love don’t hate yourself
|
| Do not deny or lie or fake yourself
|
| You can make yourself, reawake yourself
|
| You can mold remodel and reshape yourself
|
| You gotta take yourself more seriously
|
| Create yourself to what you really can be~!
|
| Yo the villain is free, look at me, I do what I do
|
| I am hip-hop and so are you
|
| Yo we almost through, but before we go
|
| I wanna invite y’all all, to every show
|
| Where the b-boys and girls are kept on their toes
|
| Like the Rocksteady Crew tribute with Fat Joe
|
| So now you know, if you got what it takes
|
| No doubt, show 'em what you really all about!
|
| Yo, now that that is out of the way
|
| Let me continue what I came to say
|
| Breakers, writers, emcees and DJ’s
|
| Beatboxers too we’ve come a long way
|
| Come to the Temple of Hip-Hop today
|
| Our hip-hop week is every third week of May
|
| Hip-Hop appreciation we remember
|
| Hip-Hop history, that’s in November
|
| Peace, love, unity, that’s the agenda
|
| When I’m on the mic that’s just what I send ya
|
| We at the end sir, so what’s the answer
|
| Hip-Hop can be more than MC’s and dancers
|
| It’s time to expand your
|
| Awareness, consciousness, enhance your
|
| Living, tell me, what are you playing for
|
| What are you staying for, what are you giving?
|
| I will demand your respect, with two MC’s
|
| Two b-boys, two DJ’s on set
|
| Two hour shows you bet!
|
| We get authentically hip-hop as hip-hop can get
|
| Independent, free from debt
|
| 2005 you ain’t seen nuttin yet
|
| Some like it dry, some like it wet
|
| Some like to give, some like to get
|
| Some like a good soundset
|
| You a b-boy and you ain’t been out to the Bronx yet?
|
| No, yes, maybe, someday
|
| Whatever, we bring it to you Sunday to Sunday
|
| Workin for peace love unity and fun day
|
| Just a little somethin to balance off gunplay
|
| So now for the break if you got what it takes
|
| No doubt, show 'em what you all about! |
