500 MC's (feat. Wone)

DiaTribe: From The Village To The Streets

Back in the Dana Dane when you had to entertain as an MC
Back in the Dana Dane when you had to entertain as an MC
Rollin′ with Da Youngstaz Rotten Razkals Naughty By Nature
They had Delinquent Habits with a Gravediggaz Flava
And a Lighter Shade of Brown Dru took us Down
To a Digital Underground where we Snoop to Tha Dogg Pound
Where I found Lost Boyz they were bringin' the noise all
Geto and Beastie Fat and Grease(y) Jayo/J.O.E. committed a Felony
He was Punishin′ Big Dope Jungle Brothers was Krazy X Three
It was he his Son Doobie King Tee
A Fresh Prince Paul Kid Whorodin' in a Capri
Comrades from WC
Warren and Craig G
Scholly and Heavy D
Steady and Eric B
Nikki and Chuck D
Ed OG and AMG
Soopafly Lover Cee
BDP and Hi-C
We would all Mobb Deep
In a Two Live Tribe on a Quest
Boo-Yah straight to his chest
If they test we'll Xzibit work
Rodney O is Joe Coolio than Moe Dee G Rap and Herc
We Battlecats with Crucial Conflict
Plus Das Efx Nas was next Funkin′ a lesson like Master Flex
Jeru Damajin′ any Clan with an X Wu-Tang

Had a Brotha from Da Lench Mob hang
On Cypress he Chills with the Sugar Hill Gang Starring
Ras Kass and Dat Brotha Daz and they
Used to have Medusa but she had to Dash
So they asked the Pen Queen and Redhead Kingpin

But their Mob was too Goodie said they'll do their own thang
Kool we only want you if you Brand Nubian Rappin′s a Four-Tay
Dawn to the PM steppin to the AM so listen to what I'm sayin
Be a Mellow Man Masta Mix the Ace with the Spade
And when you race past the 3rd Bass then you′re paid
Buy your own Group Home all Aceyalone
But if the Project get Blowed De La Soul rolls on
Stay out the Celly Cel get your Melle Mel
And be a Funky Homosapien like Del

Couldn't Kid or Play
With K9′s Posse
Cause it's Common
For Juveniles to Do or Die
On the regular
On a cellular
With Noreaga and Cormega on a three way
Down the 95 South Freeway
They said that Eightball was seen with Luniz
And the M.J.G. a Mafia Junior Ghetto from the Three Six
No Limit Dollars made mad Tricks
Somethin' Hoes With Attitude Bitches With Problems
Couldn′t fix but yo
My Camp was Lo on luchini
So my big bro K went Solo and like Whodini
He escaped from LA to Paris then Bambaataa
Up in Afrika as the Black Star Don Dada

On that vibe the Hieroglyphics are visual
