| In 19, seventy-nine, the rhyme for fun hoping to become a celebrity
|
| Rap star, some said I stink cause they didn’t think that I would go that far
|
| 10 years old al I wanted was to get on it at a jam and damn man you fronted
|
| Plenty times, many times still with throw jams, when I finally got it,
|
| I was not into slow jams
|
| When I got you hyped as I drop the mic, want to rhyme every next time but not
|
| tonight
|
| So I wrote extra hard, the crowd got into me because mentally I left you scarred
|
| The same suckers that used to rock in front of «Used to jocking» wanted me to
|
| get loose a lot
|
| They used to come around town down my sound
|
| Compound round like a clown now they standing astound
|
| A lot of rubbish, rappers where getting on, wax while I still rap the cause I
|
| was sitting on
|
| I felt like everybody was running outside playing me, saying «P yo when you
|
| coming out»
|
| Got to run around some people would tell me things like
|
| I can make you big but all they did was sell me dreams
|
| Then I met my man the almighty K.G. |
| him and me real chill and still tidy
|
| I got down with D-Nique the hypnotic, performing on a stage with a mic he’s
|
| psychotic
|
| I always wanted to perform with a bird’s eye view of people who come and see
|
| you like at the LQ
|
| I owe a lot of things to Arron D, cause when he got hooked up, the brother
|
| looked up me
|
| And D-Nique yes my best friend you can check it we made a record called «Let
|
| the homicides begin»
|
| In '88 the styles we were running down and the music nobody used it but run it
|
| now
|
| We gotta, a lotta rep and respect from brothers and sisters those that dissed
|
| us could step
|
| All I could say is that hard work pays, now the rhyme inspector MC Percee P’s
|
| the man to praise
|
| In'89 Ekim got down, when I stepped to him I knew him way back since junior high
|
| Where he rest, he lived up in Jackson, me and D lived up in Patterson in case
|
| you’re asking
|
| In the boogie down, uptown suit up clowns that fucked ‘round got bucked down
|
| You left running out the castle that was the spot you got a lot of hassle
|
| coming out
|
| Young ladies weren’t on my lap until we came up and got our names up on the map
|
| For every hottie, jocked at me at every party, I wasn’t bags never thinking but
|
| sticking everybody
|
| Every Thursday, it was E in the booth getting loose cutting with Kid Capri,
|
| no discussion
|
| Busting my chops to get my props and rock and stop at the tip top of hip hop
|
| Now they wanna see me, some thought I was under but now they wonder,
|
| how it feels to be me
|
| They gotta go, gotta go why, they wasn’t with me before a shorty come get me
|
| when I got a show
|
| All I could say is that hard work pays, now the rhyme inspector MC Percee P’s
|
| the man to praise |
