Many many moons ago |
| [00:08.33] |
|
| [00:08.89] |
Jurassic 5 |
| [00:10.35] |
|
| [00:11.88] |
Began their quest |
| [00:12.91] |
|
| [00:14.24] |
To put real hip hop |
| [00:15.44] |
On the radio |
| [00:16.32] |
|
| [00:26.71] |
Now here's a little story |
| [00:27.90] |
That must be heard |
| [00:28.94] |
About the brother with |
| [00:30.22] |
The word sounds so superb |
| [00:31.40] |
It started way back |
| [00:32.45] |
With these emcees |
| [00:33.58] |
Now here's a little somethin |
| [00:34.84] |
On the history |
| [00:36.09] |
I'm a H-I-P H-O-P H-E |
| [00:38.61] |
A-D been since |
| [00:40.24] |
One-nine-eight-three |
| [00:40.46] |
R to the A-P-P-I-N |
| [00:43.34] |
Eighty-four was the year |
| [00:44.63] |
I picked up the pen |
| [00:45.87] |
At the same time breakin |
| [00:47.16] |
Tryin' to come on in |
| [00:48.33] |
But I was already in |
| [00:49.57] |
Since way back when |
| [00:50.62] |
One-nine-seven-five |
| [00:51.87] |
The saga began |
| [00:52.91] |
R to the O-B-O-T-I-N |
| [00:55.40] |
Eighty-one I was P-O-P-P-I-N |
| [00:56.91] |
|
| [00:57.83] |
One-nine-eighty-two D-J-in |
| [00:59.63] |
Eighty-three it was all |
| [01:01.27] |
About Run-DMC man |
| [01:02.64] |
A gangbanger taught me |
| [01:04.19] |
How to break dance then |
| [01:05.31] |
The same year I |
| [01:06.41] |
Picked up the pen |
| [01:07.44] |
And wrote my first rhyme |
| [01:08.64] |
And got that feelin |
| [01:09.69] |
And now I'm here in the |
| [01:11.02] |
Flesh still dope still death |
| [01:12.19] |
Tryin' to get my song |
| [01:13.35] |
(rockin on the radio) |
| [01:15.22] |
The summertime yo |
| [01:15.90] |
We would hang out |
| [01:16.96] |
And talk about the new |
| [01:18.21] |
Jam that came out |
| [01:19.69] |
And from the way |
| [01:20.62] |
The beat was laid out |
| [01:22.06] |
And all the emcees had |
| [01:23.27] |
Turned the place out |
| [01:24.56] |
And we would say |
| [01:25.49] |
Our rhymes to the beat |
| [01:26.96] |
Right but we never |
| [01:27.87] |
Indulged in the street |
| [01:28.98] |
Life and now we all good to go |
| [01:31.29] |

| [01:32.97] |
Yo I was an inner-city |
| [01:34.42] |
Nigga in my room I'd sit |
| [01:36.16] |
Poppin off quick cause |
| [01:37.38] |
I could sing a little bit |
| [01:38.84] |
With my hi-top fade |
| [01:39.77] |
And matchin outfits |
| [01:40.43] |
But once the record hit |
| [01:41.78] |
It's like listen to this |
| [01:43.37] |
Hip hop is the reason |
| [01:44.64] |
That a brother evolved |
| [01:45.71] |
And I was so involved |
| [01:46.82] |
I ain't gonna lie to none a y'all |
| [01:48.51] |
By the time I started |
| [01:49.52] |
Rhymin in the late eighties |
| [01:50.69] |
The drugs in Cali was crazy |
| [01:52.30] |
Nine-teen eighty |
| [01:53.33] |
Nine's the number |
| [01:54.57] |
This is the summer |
| [01:55.51] |
On some get rich come up |
| [01:56.78] |
Quest switch the drum up |
| [01:57.85] |
Invested some of my best |
| [01:59.19] |
Years because of |
| [02:00.26] |
Then I repped with some |
| [02:01.44] |
Of the best kids that done it |
| [02:02.97] |
My love dates back to show |
| [02:04.28] |
That's incredible |
| [02:04.75] |
Brothers who lack revenue |
| [02:05.72] |
Spent on they back several |
| [02:06.89] |
Times It made me |
| [02:07.91] |

Back in the day |

The style a dress and |
| [02:35.22] |
The records they play |
| [02:36.53] |

| [02:42.39] |
And the block was froze |
| [02:43.48] |
When I stepped out rockin |
| [02:44.59] |
Burgundy shell-toes |
