Oh my God, I think I'm having a rap attack.. |
|
[Ecstacy] |
|
Somebody get a doctor! |
|
Quick, man |
|
She's having an attack! |
|
[Jalil] |
|
She said 'rap attack', man, not 'heart attack' |
|
[Ecstacy] |
|
Oh, you mean she's alright then? |
|
[Jalil] |
|
Of course, man |
|
You never heard of a Mr. Magic Rap Attack? |
|
Where is this guy from, man? |
|
[Ecstacy] |
|
Oh, I heard of a heart attack or a big mac attack |
|
But what's a rap attack? |
|
[Jalil] |
|
Come here, man, I see I'ma have to explain it to you like this |
|
See, a rap attack means.. |
|
[Jalil] |
|
Deejays jammin in the street |
|
MC's rappin to the beat |
|
The people downstairs sayin they can't sleep |
|
Cause the people upstairs are stompin their feet |
|
It's not like they're startin a riot |
|
"We'll call the cops, cause we want some quiet!" |
|
There's no need for them to get excited |
|
They're just mad because they're not invited |
|
(It's all in Mr. Magic's Wand) |
|
[Ecstacy] |
|
Oh see, now I understand what a rap attack is |
|
[Jalil] |
|
Well, it's about time! |
|
[Ecstacy] |
|
All you had to do is explain it to me |
|
But let me ask you a question: |
|
How long have they been rockin like this? |
|
[Jalil (& Ecstacy)] |
|
Well, rapping's always been around |
|
(Well, it says that it's big time now) |
|
Every neighborhood had its own crew |
|
(That meant you against me) and me against you |
|
(They would jam every weekend at the neighborhood center) |
|
And charge a small price for the crowds to enter |
|
(The parties would be packed inside and out) |
|
To see who was best at rockin the house |
|
(It's all in Mr. Magic's.. |
|
..Wand) |
|
[Jalil] |
|
Cause then Magic went on the radio |
|
And everybody said: "What a way to go!" |
|
The moment he went on the air |
|
It was plain to see a new phase was here |
|
He started out playing mostly rap |
|
Then they all said: "Nobody's into that" |
|
Well, they all turned out to be wrong |
|
Cause rappin on the mike had caught on strong |
|
Some still say it's not what's happenin |
|
After 'Rapper's Delight' went triple platinum |
|
The record world was in for a smash |
|
Sugarhill, Kurtis Blow, to Grandmaster Flash |
|
Blondie, Stevie Wonder, Teena Marie |
|
They even made a rapper out of me |
|
In no time at all a star was born |
|
And I think he owes it all to his Magic Wand |
|
[Ecstacy (Jalil)] |
|
Now that you heard our rap and you caught a contact |
|
(And by now you're all to be blasted) |
|
We want you all to know that we got to go |
|
(But it was big fun while it lasted) |
|
Hey y'all, but we'll be back again, so tell all your friends |
|
(Good things don't always come to an end) |
|
With somethin innovative (to rock you all well) |
|
From Ecstacy (and the Rapper Jalil) |
