Yo wassup blastmaster krs one this jam is kicking
Word yo what up d nice yo wassup scott la rock
Yo man we chilling this funky fresh jam
I wanna tell you a little something 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
South bronx the south south bronx
South bronx the south south bronx
South bronx the south south bronx
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 'cos the rhymes you wrote was wack
So you think that hiphop had it's start out in queensbridge
If you popped that junk up in the bronx you might not live
Cos you're in
South bronx the south south bronx
South bronx the south south bronx
South bronx the south south bronx
South bronx the south south bronx
I came with scott la rock 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 hiphop began
With coque la rock 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 getting blown away but coming 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 talking about
Remember bronx river rolling thick
With kool dj red alert and chuck chillout on the mix
When afrika islam was rocking the jams
And on the other side of town was a kid named flash
Patterson and millbrook projects casanova all over ya couldn't stop it
The nine lives crew the cypress boys
The real rock steady taking out these toys
As odd as it looked as wild as it seemed
I didn't hear a peep from a place called queens
It was seventy six to 1980 the dreads in brooklyn was crazy
You couldn't bring out your set with no hiphop
Because the pistols would go so why don't you wise up
Show all the people in the place that you are wack
Instead of tryna take out ll
You need to take your home boys off the crack
Cos if you don't well then their nerves will become shot
And that would leave the job up to my own scott la rock
And he's from
South bronx the south south bronx
South bronx the south south bronx
South bronx the south south bronx
South bronx the south south bronx
South bronx the south south bronx
South bronx the south south bronx
South bronx the south south bronx
South bronx the south south bronx
The human tr 808 d nice
The poet the blastmaster krs one
The grand incredible dj scott la rock
Boogie down productions
Fresh for 86 suckers
