| [00:09.04] | To you super listeners how you doing tonight? |
| [00:11.61] | All you fly guys and fly girls |
| [00:13.89] | Welcome once again to the world famous Mister Magic |
| [00:16.17] | Rap Attack and （unintelligible） |
| [00:19.13] | Way way back before the ' Hots' and the 'Powers' |
| [00:21.96] | We used to listen to live mixin' for hours |
| [00:24.23] | Roxanne Shanté,U.T.F.O. |
| [00:26.80] | Mister Magic Rap Attack some of y'all know |
| [00:29.47] | But I was in the shelter in weakness |
| [00:31.64] | Homeless, turntableless and microphoneless |
| [00:34.11] | Fresh gearless but still I was fearless |
| [00:37.19] | And focused on being the dopest MC alive |
| [00:40.28] | It's '85,LL's on Def Jam |
| [00:42.36] | With the best jam,And Whodini's on Jive |
| [00:44.81] | Man you know I had to survive |
| [00:46.78] | New York City was crazy in the 80's but damn it was live |
| [00:49.59] | So here comes the Juice Crew with MC Shan |
| [00:52.16] | Shanté's already the queen,Marley's already the man |
| [00:55.41] | Y'all don't really understand |
| [00:56.84] | When you throw on Shanté or Shan it got live in the jam |
| [00:59.76] | So we went to Mister Magic |
| [01:01.68] | If anybody had to power to put you on he had it |
| [01:04.64] | We gave up the demo tape no love lost |
| [01:07.45] | But it seems Mister Magic just brushed us off |
| [01:09.91] | Somehow we heard we were whack |
| [01:12.18] | Every track,and that we shouldn't even call back |
| [01:14.78] | Right there my jaw dropped, no doubt |
| [01:16.88] | But it made me see what I was all about |
| [01:19.63] | And I'll keep rising to the top while my mind go |
| [01:22.56] | Give it all you got, give it all you got |
| [01:24.72] | I'll keep rising to the top while my mind go |
| [01:27.58] | Give it all you got, give it all you got |
| [01:29.80] | We'll keep rising to the top while my mind go |
| [01:32.75] | Give it all you got, give it all you got |
| [01:34.85] | We'll keep rising to the top while my mind go |
| [01:37.72] | Give it all you got,give it all you got,give it all you got |
| [01:40.59] | In the spot new hip hop and Latin Quarters |
| [01:42.77] | And the Union Square and the rooftop |
| [01:44.97] | We used to hear them tunes pop in the parking lot |
| [01:47.35] | Where it got dark a lot me and Scott La Rock |
| [01:50.16] | But it was all for the hip hoppers |
| [01:51.75] | Salt-N-Pepa answered Doug E Fresh with 'The Show Stoppa' |
| [01:54.86] | MC Shan was gonna challenge LL |
| [01:56.64] | Shanté was battling 3 or 4 groups at the same time what the hell |
| [02:00.46] | Answer records were big then |
| [02:02.58] | after Shanté did it,Everybody was trying to spit them |
| [02:05.66] | so we spit off |
| [02:07.36] | To tell you the truth it was the only way an MC could get on |
| [02:10.88] | We answered MC Shan's ' Queensbridge' |
| [02:13.10] | A dope jam about where he was from and where he lived |
| [02:15.81] | But in the Bronx there was these kids |
| [02:17.83] | KRS, Scott La Rock trying to live |
| [02:19.93] | And I'll keep rising to the top while my mind go |
| [02:23.26] | Give it all you got, give it all you got |
| [02:25.27] | I'll keep rising to the top while my mind go |
| [02:28.29] | Give it all you got, give it all you got |
| [02:30.40] | We'll keep rising to the top while my mind go |
| [02:33.36] | Give it all you got, give it all you got |
| [02:35.48] | We'll keep rising to the top while my mind go |
| [02:38.39] | Give it all you got,give it all you got,give it all you got |
| [02:41.19] | This it what an MC was,we had a strong street buzz |
| [02:44.60] | Marley and Shan showed us some love and love never hurt' |
| [02:47.65] | Cause while Shan was with Marley we was with DJ Red Alert |
| [02:50.82] | Every Friday night,every Saturday night |
| [02:53.42] | On the airwaves the battle was right |
| [02:55.39] | Under New York nights, smog and lights |
| [02:57.43] | Jargon at night the Roxy used to get so hype |
| [03:00.65] | You could put on your headset |
| [03:02.11] | And get what heads didn't get yet |
| [03:03.58] | Live MCs going,"Check, check" |
| [03:06.06] | Spitin' rhymes over the radio set |
| [03:08.08] | These are the days and the ways I can never forget |
| [03:10.94] | So I don't forget it to Marley and Shan I am indebted |
| [03:14.06] | For the start of my career these guys could take credit |
| [03:16.94] | For my rappin',the whole battle they let it all happen |
| [03:19.54] | Marley and Shan and Shanté could have been gun strapping |
| [03:22.59] | Cousin!But they wasn't and you know why? |
| [03:25.90] | Cause we was on some real hip hop let's keep it buzzing! |
