[00:05.030] Yo what's up Blastmaster KRS One
[00:07.570] This jam is kicking
[00:09.098] Word, yo what up D-Nice?
[00:11.148] (Yo what's up Scott La Rock?)
[00:13.201] Yo man we chilling just funky fresh jam
[00:15.672] I want to tell you a little something about us
[00:17.070] We're the Boogie Down Productions crew
[00:18.770] And due to the fact that
[00:19.607] No-one else out there knew what time it was
[00:21.597] We have to tell you a little story about
[00:22.675] Where we we come from
[00:24.905] South Bronx, the South South Bronx (4x)
[00:34.801] Many people tell me this style is terrific
[00:37.370] It is kinda different but let's get specific
[00:39.960] KRS-One specialize in music
[00:42.351] I'll only use this type of style when I choose it
[00:45.229] Party people in the place to be
[00:47.105] KRS-One attacks
[00:50.148] You got dropped off MCA
[00:52.008] Cause the rhymes you wrote was wack
[00:55.198] So you think that hip-hop
[00:56.690] Had its start out in Queensbridge
[01:00.227] If you pop that junk up in the Bronx
[01:02.742] You might not live, cause you're in
[01:04.844] South Bronx, the South South Bronx (4x)
[01:14.784] I came with Scott La Rock to express one thing
[01:17.685] I am a teacher and others are kings
[01:19.644] If that's the title they earn
[01:20.894] Well it's well deserved, but
[01:22.786] Without a crown, see, I still burn
[01:24.902] You settle for a pebble
[01:25.908] Not a stone like a rebel
[01:27.480] KRS-One is the holder of a boulder
[01:30.301] Money folder
[01:32.405] You want a fresh style let me show ya
[01:35.004] Now way back in the days
[01:35.972] When hip-hop began, with Coke LaRock
[01:38.305] Kool Herc, and then Bam
[01:40.052] B-boys ran to the latest jam
[01:42.129] But when it got shot up
[01:43.301] They went home and said "Damn
[01:44.959] There's got to be a better way
[01:46.108] To hear our music every day
[01:47.544] B-boys getting blown away
[01:48.583] But coming outside anyway"
[01:50.259] They tried again outside in Cedar Park
[01:52.513] Power from a street light made the place dark
[01:54.902] But yo, they didn't care, they turned it out
[01:57.249] I know a few understand what I'm talking about
[01:59.714] Remember Bronx River, rolling thick
[02:02.179] With Kool DJ Red Alert
[02:03.498] And Chuck Chillout on the mix
[02:04.959] When Afrika Islam was rocking the jams
[02:07.248] And on the other side of town
[02:08.517] Was a kid named Flash
[02:10.141] Patterson and Millbrook projects
[02:12.266] Casanova all over, ya couldn't stop it
[02:15.050] The Nine Lives Crew, the Cypress Boys
[02:17.475] The real Rock Steady taking out these toys
[02:19.854] As odd as it looked, as wild as it seems
[02:22.203] I didn't hear a peep from a place called Queens
[02:24.812] It was seventy-six to 1980
[02:27.508] The dreads in Brooklyn was crazy
[02:29.822] You couldn't bring out your set with no hip-hop
[02:32.291] Because the pistols would go
[02:34.787] So why don't you wise up
[02:36.331] Show all the people in the place
[02:38.039] That you are wack
[02:40.460] Instead of tryna take out LL
[02:42.235] You need to take your homeboys off the crack
[02:45.496] Cause if you don't, well
[02:46.920] Then their nerves will become shot
[02:50.535] And that would leave the job up
[02:52.616] To my own Scott La Rock and he's from
[02:55.240] South Bronx, the South South Bronx (4x)
[03:05.148] South Bronx, the South South Bronx (4x)
[03:16.143]
[04:40.543] The human TR-808, D-Nice
[04:46.253] The poet, the Blastmaster KRS-ONE
[04:52.201] The Grand Incredible DJ Scott La Rock
[04:57.920] Boogie... Down... Productions
[05:02.040] Fresh for '86, you suckers!
