Yo what's up Blastmaster KRS One, this jam is kicking |
| [00:09.48] |
Word, yo what up D-Nice? |
| [00:11.63] |
(Yo what's up Scott La Rock?) |
| [00:13.38] |
Yo man we chilling just funky fresh jam |
| [00:15.87] |
I want to tell you a little something about us |
| [00:17.80] |
We're the Boogie Down Productions crew |
| [00:18.77] |
And due to the fact that no-one else out there knew what time it was |
| [00:21.93] |
We have to tell you a little story about where we we come from |
| [00:24.95] |
South Bronx, the South South Bronx |
| [00:27.57] |
South Bronx, the South South Bronx |
| [00:29.98] |
South Bronx, the South South Bronx |
| [00:32.59] |
South Bronx, the South South Bronx |
| [00:35.13] |
Many people tell me this style is terrific |
| [00:37.48] |
It is kinda different but let's get specific |
| [00:39.96] |
KRS-One specialize in music |
| [00:42.66] |
I'll only use this type of style when I choose it |
| [00:45.22] |
Party people in the place to be, KRS-One attack |
| [00:49.22] |
You got dropped off MCA cause the rhymes you wrote was wack |
| [00:55.40] |
So you think that hip-hop had its start out in Queensbridge |
| [01:00.11] |
If you pop that junk up in the Bronx you might not live |
| [01:04.72] |
Cause you're in |
| [01:06.40] |
South Bronx, the South South Bronx |
| [01:07.53] |
South Bronx, the South South Bronx |
| [01:10.44] |
South Bronx, the South South Bronx |
| [01:12.92] |
South Bronx, the South South Bronx |
| [01:15.34] |
I came with Scott La Rock to express one thing |
| [01:17.83] |
I am a teacher and others are kings |
| [01:20.59] |
If that's the title they earn, well it's well deserved, but |
| [01:23.60] |
Without a crown, see, I still burn |
| [01:25.30] |
You settle for a pebble not a stone like a rebel |
| [01:27.92] |
KRS-One is the holder of a boulder, money folder |
| [01:32.76] |
You want a fresh style let me show ya |
| [01:35.20] |
Now way back in the days when hip-hop began |
| [01:37.97] |
With Coke LaRock, Kool Herc, and then Bam |
| [01:40.46] |
B-boys ran to the latest jam |
| [01:42.73] |
But when it got shot up they went home and said "Damn |
| [01:45.44] |
There's got to be a better way to hear our music every day |
| [01:47.99] |
B-boys getting blown away but coming outside anyway" |
| [01:50.24] |
They tried again outside in Cedar Park |
| [01:52.82] |
Power from a street light made the place dark |
| [01:55.42] |
But yo, they didn't care, they turned it out |
| [01:57.75] |
I know a few understand what I'm talking about |
| [02:00.50] |
Remember Bronx River, rolling thick |
| [02:02.73] |
With Kool DJ Red Alert and Chuck Chillout on the mix |
| [02:05.33] |
When Afrika Islam was rocking the jams |
| [02:07.76] |
And on the other side of town was a kid named Flash |
| [02:10.61] |
Patterson and Millbrook projects |
| [02:12.24] |
Casanova all over, ya couldn't stop it |
| [02:15.38] |
The Nine Lives Crew, the Cypress Boys |
| [02:17.73] |
The real Rock Steady taking out these toys |
| [02:20.42] |
As odd as it looked, as wild as it seems |
| [02:22.83] |
I didn't hear a peep from a place called Queens |
| [02:25.38] |
It was seventy-six to 1980 |
| [02:28.70] |
The dreads in Brooklyn was crazy |
| [02:29.89] |
You couldn't bring out your set with no hip-hop |
| [02:32.79] |
Because the pistols would go |
| [02:34.60] |
So why don't you wise up, show all the people in the place that you are wack |
| [02:39.75] |
Instead of tryna take out LL, you need to take your homeboys off the crack |
| [02:45.25] |
Cause if you don't, well, then their nerves will become shot |
| [02:49.87] |
And that would leave the job up to my own Scott La Rock |
| [02:54.81] |
And he's from |
| [02:55.55] |
South Bronx, the South South Bronx |
| [02:58.14] |
South Bronx, the South South Bronx |
| [03:00.53] |
South Bronx, the South South Bronx |
| [03:02.94] |
South Bronx, the South South Bronx |
| [03:05.63] |
South Bronx, the South South Bronx |
| [03:08.50] |
South Bronx, the South South Bronx |
| [03:10.66] |
South Bronx, the South South Bronx |
| [03:13.23] |
South Bronx, the South South Bronx |
| [04:41.43] |
The human TR-808, D-Nice |
| [04:46.34] |
The poet, the Blastmaster KRS-ONE |
| [04:51.64] |
The Grand Incredible DJ Scott La Rock |
| [04:58.36] |
Boogie... Down... Productions |
| [05:02.76] |
Fresh for '86, you suckers! |
