Enter my Delorean time machine
|
back to the future we go
|
to explore the rock scene
|
all the while
|
my style's McFly
|
even when I die
|
big props to L.I.
|
South Bronx
|
Bedstuy
|
|
Bacdaf*cup
|
this ain't Onyx
|
pave the way for Dr. Dre and his Chronic
|
the Gravediggaz ebonically demonic
|
Nasty Nas and his supersonic phonic
|
K-R-S-One Attack
|
with the Boom Bap
|
on the scene in Queens with Kool G Rap
|
LA back in the day
|
a Hundred Miles And Runnin
|
forever gunnin with NWA
|
[Chorus]
|
Who says rock is dead
|
are you ready to bang your head
|
c'mon yeah
|
who says rock is dead
|
bang your head
|
enough said
|
|
Imagination is the key to be
|
I let my mind fly free
|
the second coming of the white emcee
|
settin forth a prerequisite
|
I know you're tryin to get with this
|
amazin caucasian persuasion
|
always on some next shit
|
perpetual rhyme delivery
|
an enigmatic mystery
|
you know I'm fit to be
|
goin down in history
|
Biggie Smalls and Tupac we mourn
|
now behold Jay Slim
|
another legend is born
|
|
Headbangin and slangin as I enter the Wu-Tang
|
Hoo-Bangin with the Westside Connect gang
|
Respect is Hard To Earn like my paycheck
|
Protect Ya Neck
|
from the blast of the Tek & Steele
|
Bucktown
|
Duck Down
|
just tryin to B-Real like Cypress Hill
|
with my License To Ill
|
I Kill At Will
|
word to Rakim
|
yo it's Time To Build
|
[Chorus]
|
I flow about what I know
|
in the process try to grow
|
no I've never been to the ghetto
|
and I'll probably never go
|
the wrath of an intelligent white kid with a mic gripped tight
|
a lyrical fight ensues
|
you lose
|
gave ya brain blacks & blues
|
knocked ya out
|
stole ya shoes
|
hit a spliff and took another sip of the booze
|
shut yer yapper
|
I'm the cracker rapper that's makin all the rules
|
refuse and I'll prepare your moms for the bad news
|
[Bridge]
|
Some call it a fad
|
it's a natural evolution of music
|
a few abuse it
|
I refuse to lose it
|
it's part of my heart
|
it's for the kids
|
not the music critics to tear it apart
|
I'm calling it the Peter Pan Theory
|
you can keep that lo-fi throwback crap 'cause I don't want it near me
|
and if ya can't hear me/start a band with "t-h-e" and you too can be a flash in the pan ?can't forget the Outkast
|
Goodie Mo-B
|
the D-O-double-G
|
so shall I Proceed
|
to rock the mic like MOP
|
Run-DMC
|
a Tribe called Hip-Hop will always run through me
|
[Chorus]
|
