How it all got started way back when
Reminiscing in a dark room over some Jack D
Feels like I'm floating adrift on the Black Sea
Thoughts running on my mind like a track meet
Tracing it back to when the artform was fresh y'all
Yes y'all shout out to Grand Master Caz
Salute only the real heads know the truth
In the booth Cold Crush and Kurtis Blow
Damaging the microphone and rocking every show
B-Boys spinning on the pavement (oohh)
Memorex 90 minute mixtapes hustle and flow
Trivial fill in the gap only if you know
Here we go, I can't live without my (Radio)
Flashback when it wasn't about dough
But the culture had to grow and done a new appearance
Cut throat measures in form of a sample clearance
But the artform lived despite the interference

Listen hey we didn't have a snowballs chance
Wild style beat street the bri-the break dance
Krush groove got me in a B-boy stance
Levi pants addidas no laces
Run DMC got play on daily basis
And Hip Hop started having mainstream faces
Weathered the storm and saw many phases
From pro black to the beads and the kente
To the whips and the chains kunta kinte
Then it became the in thing to talk politics
Studied the 5 Percenters, Supreme mathematics
I use to keep vinyl just for the graphics
In the golden era became a rap addict
After school kicking verses like a bad habit
Right now I feel it's losing it's magic
Word to Nas Hip Hop is dead and that's tragic
