[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!
