Scott La Rock: Yo wassup Blastmaster KRS ONE. This jam is kickin'
|
KRS: Word! Yo what up D Nice?
|
D Nice: Yo wassup Scott La Rock?
|
SLR: Yo man we chillin' this funky fresh jam. I wanna tell
|
you a little somethin' about us. We're the Boogie Down
|
Productions crew and due to the fact that no one else out there
|
knew what time it was we have to tell you a little story about
|
where we come from...
|
South Bronx, the South South Bronx (4X)
|
Many people tell me this style is terrific
|
It is kinda different but let's get specific
|
KRS-One specialized in music
|
I'll only use this type of style when I choose it
|
Party people in the place to be, KRS-One attacks
|
Ya got dropped off MCA cause the rhymes you wrote was wack
|
So you think that hip-hop had it's start out in Queensbridge
|
If you popped that junk up in the Bronx you might not live
|
Cause you're in...
|
South Bronx, the South South Bronx (4X)
|
I came with Scott LaRock to express one thing
|
I am a teacher and others are kings
|
If that's a title they earn, well it's well deserved, but
|
without a crown, see, I still burn
|
You settle for a pebble not a stone like a rebel
|
KRS-One is the holder of a boulder, money folder
|
You want a fresh style let me show ya
|
Now way back in the days when hip-hop began
|
With CoQue LaRock, Kool Herc, and then Bam
|
Beat boys ran to the latest jam
|
But when it got shot up they went home and said "Damn
|
There's got to be a better way to hear our music every day
|
Beat boys gettin blown away but comin outside anyway"
|
They tried again outside in Cedar Park
|
Power from a street light made the place dark
|
But yo, they didn't care, they turned it out
|
I know a few understand what I'm talkin about
|
Remember Bronx River rollin thick
|
With Kool DJ Red Alert and Chuck Chillout on the mix
|
When Afrika Islam was rockin the jams
|
And on the other side of town was a kid named Flash
|
Patterson and Millbrook projects
|
Casanova all over, ya couldn't stop it
|
The Nine Lives Crew, the Cypress Boys
|
The real Rock Steady takin out these toys
|
As odd as it looked, as wild as it seemed
|
I didn't hear a peep from a place called Queens
|
It was seventy-six, to 1980
|
The dreads in Brooklyn was crazy
|
You couldn't bring out your set with no hip-hop
|
Because the pistols would go...
|
So why don't you wise up, show all the people in the place that you
|
are wack
|
Instead of tryna take out LL, you need to take your homeboys off the
|
crack
|
Cos if you don't, well, then their nerves will become shot
|
And that would leave the job up to my own Scott LaRock
|
And he's from...
|
South Bronx, the South South Bronx (8X)
|
The human TR-808, D-Nice
|
The poet, the Blastmaster KRS-ONE
|
The Grand Incredible DJ Scott La Rock
|
Boogie...Down...Productions
|
Fresh for '86, suckers!
|
(Ha ha ha ha ha)
