Y'all better get it together, were you?
I be readin' your books, where were
Y'all get it together, word up

When Hot 97 I was there
When Rap City got I was there
When KDAY got started I was
When Jive Records got I was there

When Yo MTV Raps started I was
When The Source started I was there
Cedric and Seda started I was there
When Biggie was his album I was there

When Tookie was buried I was there
'73, Park I was there
One-twenty-three I was there
You ain't tellin' me the history I was there, I was there

And were you? Where were you?
And where were you? were you?
And where were you? were you?
Where you?

Moe Dee challenged LL I was there
When bus blew up in London I was there
When Row challenged Bad Boy at the Source Awards
In New York at the Garden, yup I was

When Kwame Toure formerly known as Stokely
Was passin' on I was
When Nelson Mandela was from prison
And spoke out at Stadium in New York I was there

For all the births of my I was there
When the Rodney uprisings happened I was there
These objective rap tryin' to document
Hip hop outside forget it I was there, I was there

And where were you? Where were
And where were you? Where you?
And where were you? were you?

Look, The Records label, I was there
The Columbia label, I was there
The Records label, I was there
The Warner Brothers label, I was there

The Koch Records label, I was
The Capitol label, I was there
I know about they contracts 'cause I was
I wrote and rewrote of 'em when I was there

I ain't readin' a book or a hook
I am hip hop 'cause yup I was there
Y'all need to get it with hip hop's history
And get it right yup I was there, I was there

And where were you? Where were
And where you? Where were you?
And where were you? Where you?
were you?
