Outta Here - KRS-One[00:00:00]

Back in the days I knew rap would never die[00:00:20]

I used to listen to Awesome-2 on WHBI[00:00:22]

I used to hear all kind of rap groups[00:00:25]

Before sampling loops[00:00:26]

Rappers wore bell-bottom Lee suits[00:00:27]

Me and Kenny couldn't afford that[00:00:30]

So we would go to the park[00:00:32]

When they was jammin' to hear rap[00:00:33]

I used to listen till the cops broke it up[00:00:35]

I always thought to myself[00:00:37]

Damn why they f**ked it up[00:00:38]

But never the less[00:00:40]

I was in love with the microphone[00:00:41]

And it stayed that way until I left home[00:00:43]

On the streets of New York now I'm free[00:00:45]

But with freedom comes big responsibility[00:00:47]

I used to walk around driven by the force[00:00:50]

I remember how large[00:00:52]

Super Rhymes was when he fell off[00:00:53]

I used to wonder about crews that used to rock[00:00:55]

They were large[00:00:57]

But none of them could manage to stay on top[00:00:58]

Do you ever think about when you outta here[00:01:00]

Record deal and video outta here[00:01:02]

Mercedes Benz and Range Rover outta here[00:01:05]

No doubt BDP is old school but we ain't goin' out[00:01:07]

After livin' on the streets alone[00:01:20]

Some years went by[00:01:22]

I signed myself into a group home[00:01:23]

I used to watch the show I Dream of Jeannie[00:01:25]

And dreamt about[00:01:27]

When will I be large like Whodini[00:01:27]

But I was messin' with graffiti on the subway[00:01:29]

And gettin' chased by the cops almost everyday[00:01:32]

I knew it had to bea better way see[00:01:34]

So I would go to my room blast RUN DMC[00:01:36]

Around 1984 I left the group home again alone[00:01:39]

Still dreamin' about the microphone[00:01:43]

Gimme a chance man I know I can rock it[00:01:45]

But I had to worry about puttin' money in my pocket[00:01:47]

So when I reached the shelter I met my helper DJ Scott La Rock[00:01:50]

And we both loved hip-hop[00:01:53]

I was takin' suckas out in the shelter system[00:01:55]

Yeah there was rappers in the shelter[00:01:57]

But I had to diss 'em[00:01:58]

But all along my vision was never lost[00:02:00]

I kept seeing all these rap groups fallin' off[00:02:02]

Do you ever think about when you're outta here[00:02:05]

Fly girl and fresh gear outta here[00:02:07]

Five-thousand dollar love seat outta here[00:02:09]

No doubt BDP is old school but we ain't goin' out[00:02:12]

While I'm battling these rival crews[00:02:24]

Yes BDP would stay in the street news[00:02:26]

Some said all they want to do is battle[00:02:29]

They can't write a song[00:02:31]

So their careers won't last long[00:02:33]

Around this time[00:02:34]

I used to hang with Ced Gee[00:02:35]

And DJ Scott La Rock used to buy gold with Eric be[00:02:36]

I didn't meet Rakim till later with Scott[00:02:39]

I remember we were jammin' at the rooftop[00:02:42]

It used to irk me when these critics had opinions[00:02:44]

Scott would say[00:02:46]

Just keep rappin' I'll keep spinnin'[00:02:47]

We had a f**ked up contract but we signed it[00:02:49]

And dropped the hip-hop album Criminal Minded[00:02:52]

We told the critics your opinions are bull[00:02:54]

Same time Eric be and Rakim dropped Paid in Full[00:02:56]

Hip-hop pioneers we didn't ask to be[00:02:59]

But right then hip-hop changed drastically[00:03:02]

People didn't want to hear the old rap sound[00:03:04]

We started samplin' beats by James Brown[00:03:07]

In the middle of doin' My Philosophy[00:03:09]

Scott was killed and that sh*t got to me[00:03:12]

But knowin' the laws of life and death[00:03:14]

I knew his breath was one with my breath[00:03:16]

I had nothin' left and it was scary[00:03:19]

So I dropped By All Means Necessary[00:03:22]

Another hip-hop group that was a friend of me[00:03:24]

Was a revolution crew called Public Enemy[00:03:27]

It Takes A Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back[00:03:29]

These two albums set off consciousness in rap[00:03:31]

But all along I'm still lookin' around[00:03:34]

And all I can see are these rap groups fallin' down[00:03:36]

Do you ever think about when you outta here[00:03:39]

Condominium and beach house outta here[00:03:42]

Credit cards and bank accounts outta here[00:03:44]

No doubt BDP is old school be we ain't goin' out[00:03:46]
