1, 2, Yeah, niggas know about Fatback With the different records they had back in the days You know what I mean, the driven turntables With Technics with the slip mats
Put nickels on the So the motherfucking record jump The needle won't and shit Getting from the fucking light poles Shout out to the Bronx,
Aiyyo, this shit go way back a Uni marker Kid bombing the D and hit the Bronx up Krylon bandits attack, Rock, Bambaataa to Pylon discovering rap
And the DJ that made the first Paved the way for Flex, Cee, 'nuff of them cats See, this rap shit came at a time was accurate something years later, I mastered it
Seen light poles get for power, I was a little nigga stay out late, I was sour So I sat by the window, the DJ cut Impeach the Pres, Apache and just
Otis Redding, swing, the music Guess the blew out one of his amps It'd a little while, then it come back on Somebody stepped on the and shit, that's all
Now everybody's back in the groove, echo "Check one two, one two", my favorite Strobe lights is live, Champale Little joints being lit up on the side
niggas had two fives Other than that, cleared a circle in the park and five Girls wore they and jellies Jordache and Lees, TF Lords fit the
[Incomprehensible] and Kangol buckets, Go to Sergio's like, it the stamp on that Crazy Eddie Niggas coming from the Funhouse Dusted, throwing on the wall
We must you Where this rap from Yes, my brother, my It's our duty, we remind you
Hip hop was set out in the Hip hop was set out in the Hip hop was set out in the We to do it out in the dark
Yo, it all started at the 'After Midnight Philly' but with me Mad niggas coming down New York City hit the skating rink USA Schoolly, "Gangster Boogie" and "PSK"
I remember shells, Gazelles, top tens and Mega design, smoke, Coqui nine bottles Entire wore velours, call the boys the Lucci wore? 84's Atlantic City Gucci store
Linoleum dancing, Rust-Oleum cans I put the writing on the signed, "Truly yours" smashed '87 Music Seminar Out on the battlefield like Pat
Hit the borough Krown Rulers out of Camden People Patty in the party, all cramped in Around the time Flav started cold "Rebel Without a Pause" was the street
Old cassette, tape collections Bright spotlights on all the at the Spectrum When the Fresh Fest come, leather and sheepskins would bust they guns to get one
MC Breeze, Disco C, Jazzy Cash and Miz and Lady B Everybody "Sucker MC's" in '83 I was Philly like St. Charles and Crazy D
Them wild North Side Ricans would snuff you Twenty deep in a Ford Escort, pumping the Crew I used to my cousin, he was a buck too don't like how I'm living, well, fuck you
I been a G a little kid Sticking my head up into somebody's dollar party, into shit And nights, shoulda been in bed Instead, I was running 'round with them downtown heads
A little man, hanging where them grown is Under thirteen, seeing real images And that's the for my real rap penmanship That's where I started it and where I'mma finish it
We remind you Where rap come from Yes, my brother, my our duty, we must remind you
