NYGz/GS 183rd (Interlude) - Gang Starr

It’s crazy, right?

Listen, listen, listen, I’m from New York City, right?

I’m from the five boroughs

It’s the fact— Listen, when I was a little nigga growing up

When I met this nigga, him and Guru, right?

(Mhm)

It probably— What was that, '87, '88?

('88)

'88, I was 16, 17 years old

I was gettin' money in Baltimore, I’m from the Bronx (Okay)

So I respected niggas from outta town coming to another town tryin' to get

money (Aight)

Feel me?

So that’s what clicked me with Gang Starr

I thought Guru, God bless him, was my little man

That nigga was ten years older than me

I’m from outside (Okay)

And I thought that, you know

I come from the era where rappers wasn’t really

Uh, admired the way they are now

You feel me?

(Right) Them niggas was entertainers to us (Mhm)

We was fuckin' with niggas who threw stones at the penitentiary (Right)

Alright, so, when I got with Gang Starr, it was like

«Yo, I like these niggas, they from outta town, they came here to get money

And they doing they thing, I fuck with them»

Then when they blew, it was, «Ah, that’s dope, they blew

These niggas is legends»
