Yo truer lyrics were praised the listeners craved
To hear our camera's get caned the rooftop
Where the dealers will hang and bubblegooses
And sheepskins and DJ's play the song cuz they love the music
Way before producers were gettin' paid for beats
Marley Marl was loopin' he made ya'll able to eat
And B-Boy's were battlin' that stay key on Allington
After school we watched Good Times and bust heroine
When Melle Mel made the Message it was monumental
Not only was it d**e it also spoke on our issues
Like Public Enemy my memories essentially I'll
Like hip hop was meant to be KRS Audio Two
Treacherous Three Fearless Four Furious Five
Dr. Jeckyll/Mr. Hyde when T-La Rock was in his prime
He spit rhymes like no one other in his time
When the cannon gettin' fly Slick Rick never improvise
L Rock the Bells DMC rocked cazelles with shells
Skill matter f**k ya rims and your record sales
Hip hop is Stetsasonic and Mantronic
Ultramagnetic Schooly D and Bambataa
When Houdini made friends it was well spoken
Beretta magic had their rivalry radio was d**er
Masters of Ceremony Steady P Dimples D
Then Just Ice Latoya hit the streets
Then we got the era of EPMD
The Juice Crew MC Lyte and BDP
Main Source breakin' atoms had amazin' rappin' and beats
Not basically sampling artist need to regain the passion
It doesn't matter if your chain is platinum
It's what you is average you would not be mentioned with the greatest rappers
Hip hop is like Egypt produced from it's greatest to sadness
The industry's enemy truth that's invading our palace
They steal our culture desipate our sculptures and claim
The best rappers the complexion of the Roman leader known as Ceaser
I don't believe 'em I seek knowledge the Brand Nubian
The soul of Pete Rock the vibe of the Tribe
Heart of GangStarr the braves of Diggin' In the Crates
I'm Kool like Moe Dee vocally I innovate
