Now buckle up

Boys and girls.

I’m ‘bout to take you there

Mr. Magic’s on the air, and it’s a world premiere.

Some wack

Nigga grabbed the mic, and he just got ditched

And nobody never ever used to fuck with Kris.

I had

South Bronx banging in my big boombox, I had to

Take off my Nikes and my Nike socks.

See, yo, kid

I brings it back to the olden days ‘cause, back then

They kept it real, them was the golden days.

Real

Niggas kicking flavor and they got to the point.

Ain’t nothing like

Reminiscing to an old-school joint.

See, that

Nigga Kool G Rap?

He was a badass, bro, and Rakim

Was «Moving Crowds» with the fat-ass flow.

Indeed

Them brothers was ripping.

Me?

I started flipping ‘round the time

When Ultramag' was «Ego Trippin',» my man Just-Ice

Was giving ass-whoopings with DMX

A time when brothers didn’t have to talk about TECs

Big respects to those that was keeping it live

Beat Street, Melle Mel and the Furious Five

I’ve arrived to give you what you all been missing:

True hip hop, where heads can relate as well as listen

So listen

I wanna hear

Some «Holy War» by my man Sir Ibu

Respects due to the Audio Two, the whole entire

Juice Crew, no doubt, was doing their thing.

Since «Sucker

M.C.'s,» I always been down with the King.

Nice & Smooth

Taught me ‘bout the «Skill Trade,» Special Ed

«Had It Made,» Dana Dane was afraid, having

«Nightmares» about some chick named Anita

Phife, Q-Tip, Shaheed, Jairobi trying to push up

On «Bonita,» Busta Rhymes was a Leader

And just when you thought music couldn’t get no sweeter

Here comes The Ruler.

By far, no one was cooler

And when it came to «Teenage Love,» he was the schooler

Joe Ski did the «Pee-Wee Herman,» always taking

Care of Business was Parrish Smith and Erick Sermon

I brings it way back where them niggas used to kick that

Real rugged shit—ayyo, kid, I won’t forget that

I give support up to all the

Pioneers I heard while I was being brought up.

JVC

Force putting it down for Strong Island

Biz Mark' was wilding, but, shit, he kept the people

Smiling.

Moe Dee went to «See the Doctor»

Doug E. Fresh, «Greatest Entertainer» bound to rock ya

Queen Latifah, Sweet Tee, Jazzy Joyce was

The choice, a brand-new voice in this hip hop

Community.

Afrika Bambaataa talking ‘bout peace

And unity.

If we don’t listen, then this rap shit

Is soon to be over.

Can’t forget Super Lover Cee

And Casanova «Doing the James.»

There’s mad names

Mad artists never worrying about

Who was the hardest.

Some are still here, most of ‘em

Had to part us.

Whether you’re around or above

I’m guaranteed to represent you on the love-love
