[00:00.738]Yo, what's up, Blastmaster KRS-One? This jam is kicking
[00:04.433]Word, yo, what up, D-Nice? (Yo, what's up Scott La Rock?)
[00:08.674]Yo, man, we chilling, just funky fresh jam
[00:11.329]I want to tell you a little something about us
[00:12.873]We're the Boogie Down Productions crew
[00:14.466]And due to the fact that no one else out there knew what time it was
[00:17.413]We have to tell you a little story about where we we come from
[00:20.499]South Bronx, the South-South Bronx
[00:23.184]South Bronx, the South-South Bronx
[00:25.586]South Bronx, the South-South Bronx
[00:28.269]South Bronx, the South-South Bronx
[00:30.650]Many people tell me this style is terrific
[00:33.314]It is kinda different, but let's get specific
[00:35.708]KRS-One specialize in music
[00:38.102]I'll only use this type of style when I choose it
[00:41.242]Party people in the place to be, KRS-One attacks
[00:45.978]You got dropped off MCA 'cause the rhymes you wrote was wack
[00:50.980]So, you think that hip-hop had its start out in Queensbridge?
[00:56.076]If you pop that junk up in the Bronx you might not live, 'cause you're in
[01:00.852]South Bronx, the South-South Bronx
[01:03.511]South Bronx, the South-South Bronx
[01:05.899]South Bronx, the South-South Bronx
[01:08.552]South Bronx, the South-South Bronx
[01:10.957]I came with Scott La Rock to express one thing
[01:13.609]I am a teacher and others are kings
[01:15.682]If that's the title they earn, well it's well deserved, but
[01:18.604]Without a crown, see, I still burn
[01:20.731]You settle for a pebble, not a stone like a rebel
[01:23.404]KRS-One is the holder of a boulder
[01:26.081]Money folder
[01:28.138]You want a fresh style, let me show ya
[01:30.792]Now way back in the days when hip-hop began
[01:33.442]With Coke De La Rock, Kool Herc and then Bam
[01:36.119]B-boys ran to the latest jam
[01:38.192]But when it got shot up, they went home and said, "Damn
[01:41.127]There's got to be a better way to hear our music every day"
[01:43.547]B-boys getting blown away but coming outside anyway
[01:46.214]They tried again outside in Cedar Park
[01:48.354]Power from a street light made the place dark
[01:51.003]But, yo, they didn't care, they turned it out
[01:53.389]I know a few understand what I'm talking about
[01:55.788]Remember Bronx River rolling thick
[01:58.466]With Kool DJ Red Alert and Chuck Chillout on the mix
[02:01.133]When Afrika Islam was rocking the jams
[02:03.263]And on the other side of town was a kid named Flash
[02:06.200]Patterson and Mill Brook projects
[02:08.618]Casanova all over, you couldn't stop it
[02:11.013]The Nine Lives Crew, the Cypress Boys
[02:13.667]The real Rock Steady taking out these toys
[02:16.075]As odd as it looked, as wild as it seem
[02:18.479]I didn't hear a peep from a place called Queens
[02:20.859]It was '76 to 1980
[02:23.549]The dreads in Brooklyn was crazy
[02:25.937]You couldn't bring out your set with no hip-hop
[02:28.598]Because the pistols would go
[02:31.517]So why don't you wise up? Show all the people in the place that you are wack
[02:36.052]Instead of tryna take out LL, you need to take your homeboys off the crack
[02:41.822]'Cause if you don't, well then, their nerves will become shot
[02:46.842]And that would leave the job up to my own Scott La Rock, and he's from
[02:51.415]South Bronx, the South-South Bronx
[02:53.811]South Bronx, the South-South Bronx
[02:56.210]South Bronx, the South-South Bronx
[02:58.880]South Bronx, the South-South Bronx
[03:01.531]South Bronx, the South-South Bronx
[03:03.937]South Bronx, the South-South Bronx
[03:06.593]South Bronx, the South-South Bronx
[03:08.997]South Bronx, the South-South Bronx
[04:36.218]The human TR-808, D-Nice
[04:42.924]The poet, the Blastmaster KRS-ONE
[04:48.979]The Grand Incredible DJ Scott La Rock
[04:54.559]Boogie Down Productions
[04:58.552]Fresh for '86, you suckers
