I COME FROM A TIME OF. . . .
Yo! I slipped back in the day for a moment, and had to share my thoughts on my journey! Had to take ya'll back! For newschool that don't know, sit back & enjoy the ride thru history!
I come from a time of 2 turntables & a mic
With this bad ass chick named MC Lyte
In the time of Kangols & Cazals
When we rocked fat laces in our shells
When Slick Rick had a story to tell
And LL Cool J was rockin those bells
When Big Daddy Kane was goin to work
And NWA wasn’t givin a Fu**
I come from a time when
Jordache, Sassoon, Gloria, Sergio & Calvin ruled
When a hundred parts in my head & High Top fades was cool
When we shouted "Hey Yo Doug put your Ballies on!"
Le Coq Sportif were the only sweatsuits I owned
Eric B. & Rakim was gettin Paid in Full
Fu** the police was how Public Enemy schooled
I come from a time when we all hailed to the "Queen"
When Fab Five Freddy & Yo! MTV Raps was on the scene
Showin up at the club "funky fresh dressed, ready to impress", with yo crew
Break dancin, Poppin & Woppin, just to name a few
When the Beastie Boys had a License to Ill
And EPMD said "You Gots To Chill"
P.S.K. "What the hell does that mean?"
Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince always kept it clean
thinkin bout Summer…Summer…..Summertime!
When Kurtis Blow was playin…...Baaassketbaaaal!
And we stepped toe to toe when we had to brawl
"So you’re a philosopher?" Yeah, KRS-One kept us in check
Then came New Jack Swing with Wreckx-N-Effect
Buffalo girls go round the outside, round the outside
Round the outside
But that good good hip hop sh** has faded & died
Hey don’t blame me, that’s what NAS said!
Yeah back in the day was the sh**, we had it made
Our culture, our music, our gear was tiiiight
I come from a time of 2 turntables & a mic!
