I just wanna say, it's truly fantastic
To see so many beautiful brothers and sisters gathered
In one place together, for the same purpose
Now Jiggy's coming through with the funky new track
So step back, time to put Harlem on the map
It gets sparked, 1-2-5, the landmark
Where I started with another Jiggy ark
Cutting hair, money makers stepping in with licks
Getting Caesar's beanie bald, the Shaggy blowout mix
Fades to black tops, Westside's the barber shop
Run by Mr. Willie, some brothers call him Poppa
Back to Harlem, the beat where we seek to learn some history
The truth of our culture has always been a mystery
The streets are all filled in, the show is at its tippin'
No black-on-black crime, it's time everybody's chillin'
For our people, it's time that we're accepted as an equal
To this nation, 'cause it's a (Peace generation)
So come around my way any day like Mandela
Yeah, here came the Harlem big fella
[Chorus: 125 & (Jewell)
Harlem, we're gonna set it off for Harlem (What?)
Harlem, we're gonna set it off for Harlem (Yeah)
Harlem, we're gonna set it off for Harlem (What?)
(Harlem) So set it off, set it off
Yes indeed, we're gonna take a ride
Where the mack daddies and the gangsters collide
The funky fly females in their neon gear
Their inner tube-ian to no one they fear
Trick or treat, the team will get strictly getting paid
Some may start a holdin', but to them, it's no shame
As long as they gettin' what the other done got
Try to rob 'em for the jewelry and you might get shot
Brothers on the corner just rollin' in cash
Even though it may be wrong, out of choices, it's their last
Dice be spinnin' while the 40 bottoms up
Out all night on your moms heatin' up
Cars rollin' softer than were meant for just men
Got little 12-year-olds pushin' BMs
And if you think that Beverly Hills is the only place where dope goes
Then 1-2-5 throw a crazy money show
'Cause cheese be slammin', this is true
Gotta get with it with the dumb fast quickness
Jeans so tight and so blue
Chest so a-flowin' with the fat afro thickness
Don't sleep on us, this is true
It's coming straight from the Uptown crews
Of females out there who butts are jumpin'
Money-makin' brothers, pockets lumpin', yes, say
[Chorus: 125 & (Jewell)
Harlem, we're gonna set it off for Harlem (What?)
Harlem, we're gonna set it off for Harlem (Yeah)
Harlem, we're gonna set it off for Harlem (What?)
(Harlem) So set it off, set it off
Gonna take you Uptown
Gonna take you Uptown, baby
To Harlem
To Harlem
Harlem's kickin' sticky chicken-lickin' fingers
With R&B singers and jazz swingers
Not all negatives, so take a sedative
To kill your bad vibe, this one's from the Jiggy tribe
Brothers doing the best, no need to guess
Where I'm from, Harlem, yes (So here we come, here we come)
Puttin' it back on the map, old chap
Don't try to diss, or in your face, you'll get jabs
So when I stroll and take a ride tomorrow on 25
No stealin' 'cause I'm dealin' with the brothers
Apologies to be on the street for a night
You might wanna take out your sweetie
But don't let 'em get you for your loosie
Without givin' some of that booty
This one's dealt from the card deck of fates
And yo, I dealt Harlem, and it's
[Chorus: 125 & (Jewell)
Harlem, we're gonna set it off for Harlem (What?)
Harlem, we're gonna set it off for Harlem (Yeah)
Harlem, we're gonna set it off for Harlem (What?)
(Harlem) So set it off, set it off
Parties and (Uptown) jams is what we're known for
So here's your chance for you to go for the style we bring
The club's nonstop, you know Uptown rocks
With the quickness again and again
So come on up and bring a couple of your friends
As we toss it up live for you and yours
With a hardcore twist on the smooth tip
Rooftop parties where the chit-chit dealer
Brother flip-flipped it, and then out they would kick
To continue the party, kickin' live, live brothers
Try to strive to dress with an Uptown flow
Sportin' Timbos, 40 Belows
Furridge and the shearlings, and yes, everyone was yearning
To rock with the brother that's faster
If you wanna be mine, then stay on the Uptown tribe
[Chorus: 125 & (Jewell)
Harlem, we're gonna set it off for Harlem (What?)
Harlem, we're gonna set it off for Harlem (Yeah)
Harlem, we're gonna set it off for Harlem (What?)
(Harlem) So set it off, set it off
Harlem, we're gonna set it off for Harlem (What?)
Harlem, we're gonna set it off for Harlem (Yeah)
Harlem, we're gonna set it off for Harlem (What?)
(Harlem) So set it off, set it off
Gonna take you Uptown
Gonna take you Uptown, baby
To Harlem
To Harlem
Gonna take you down in the jungle
Where all the cats are playing
Harlem
Harlem
Throwin' dice late at night
In Harlem
Breakin' 8-ball, havin' fun
In Harlem
Gonna take you Uptown
Gonna take you Uptown, baby
