Scott La Rock: Yo wassup Blastmaster KRS ONE. This jam is kickin'
KRS: Word! Yo what up D Nice?
D Nice: Yo wassup Scott La Rock?
SLR: Yo man we chillin' this funky fresh jam. I wanna tell
you a little somethin' about us. We're the Boogie Down
Productions crew and due to the fact that no one else out there
knew what time it was we have to tell you a little story about
where we come from...
South Bronx, the South South Bronx (4X)
Many people tell me this style is terrific
It is kinda different but let's get specific
KRS-One specialized in music
I'll only use this type of style when I choose it
Party people in the place to be, KRS-One attacks
Ya got dropped off MCA cause the rhymes you wrote was wack
So you think that hip-hop had it's start out in Queensbridge
If you popped that junk up in the Bronx you might not live
Cause you're in...
South Bronx, the South South Bronx (4X)
I came with Scott LaRock to express one thing
I am a teacher and others are kings
If that's a title they earn, well it's well deserved, but
without a crown, see, I still burn
You settle for a pebble not a stone like a rebel
KRS-One is the holder of a boulder, money folder
You want a fresh style let me show ya
Now way back in the days when hip-hop began
With CoQue LaRock, Kool Herc, and then Bam
Beat boys ran to the latest jam
But when it got shot up they went home and said "Damn
There's got to be a better way to hear our music every day
Beat boys gettin blown away but comin outside anyway"
They tried again outside in Cedar Park
Power from a street light made the place dark
But yo, they didn't care, they turned it out
I know a few understand what I'm talkin about
