1, 2, Yeah, niggas know about Fatback With the different color they had back in the days You know what I mean, the driven turntables With joints with the slip mats
Put nickels on the So the record won't jump The needle won't and shit Getting from the fucking light poles out to the Bronx, nigga
Aiyyo, this shit go way back like a Uni Kid the D train and hit the Bronx up bandits attack, Planet Rock, Bambaataa Peace to discovering rap
And the DJ made the first scratch Paved the way for Flex, Mister Cee, 'nuff of cats See, this rap shit at a time that was accurate Twenty years later, I mastered it

I shells, Gazelles, top tens and lottos Mega design, smoke, Coqui nine bottles Entire velours, call the boys with the Lucci wore? 84's from Atlantic Gucci store
Linoleum dancing, Rust-Oleum cans I put the on the wall signed, "Truly yours" smashed '87 Music Seminar Out on the battlefield like Pat
Hit the with Krown Rulers out of Camden People Patty in the party, all cramped in Around the time Flav cold lamping "Rebel Without a Pause" was the anthem
Old Memorex cassette, tape Bright on all the fights at the Spectrum When the Fresh Fest come, leather bombers and Brothers would bust they to get one
MC Breeze, Disco C, Jazzy Cash and Miz and Lady B banging "Sucker MC's" in '83 I was South Philly like St. Charles and D
Them wild North Puerto Ricans would snuff you Twenty deep in a Ford Escort, the Tuff Crew I to follow my cousin, he was a buck too Y'all don't how I'm living, well, fuck you
I been a G a little kid Sticking my up into somebody's dollar party, getting into shit And late nights, been in bed Instead, I was running 'round with them downtown heads
