Y'all niggas love to hear the stories again and again
|
Of how it all got started way back then
|
See it was Marly, MC Shan, the Juice Crew
|
Queensbridge, hip-hop land, those niggas blew (up)
|
Nobody said it started there
|
But some playa hater tryed to end a party there
|
Niggas didn't care they burned it, put it in the air
|
I took it personal readied up for warfare
|
Shit, yeah, what?
|
But time passed by, shit died out
|
But niggas got paid off my hood no doubt
|
Now everybodies rhymin, other hoods start shinin
|
Thats ahight 'cuz the Bridge'll keep risin

|
And just when you thought things couldnt get betta
|
Nas dropped Illmatic and let'cha'll faggots have it
|
He brought the shine back, made the right contact
|
Had the whole world sayin "Hey dun, rewind that" (Rewind that)
|
Niggas from every hood felt the new vibe
|
The word spread quick, the Bridge is still live
|
My dun went gold, then he went platinum
|
My niggas Mobb Deep had the streets right afta him
|
OH MY GOD, shits off the hook now
|
Killing kids, in the Bridge carry rap books now
|
Another chapter about to dominate
|
I guess its just in our nature, Queensbridge gotta set it straight
|
We on some kamikaze shit, moving at a Cormega pace
|
Infamous Mobb up in this rap race
|
This is the place where stars are born
|
Im'a stay repin my hood until Im'a dead and gone

You still walkin through life like you was blind
|
Need you a lucy but you short one dime
|
Damn, thought about it, ten minutes later
|
Bumbed a cigarette going up in the elavator
|
|
[MC Shan]
|
Dead dreams, more than sold
|
You gotta to try and recieve ya goal
|
However you do it, however you may
|
Don't never listen to what nobody say, uhh
|
But you chose to lead that fate
|
Now you're sucking on a bone when it should'a been steak (steak)
|
The whole purpose of the story I told
|
Was mainly to inspire you to reach your goal
|
Stop walking through as you were blind
|
You should reach for your goal 'cuz I'm reaching for mine
|
You love to, you love to
