One two[00:00:00]
Yeah niggas don't know about Fatback[00:00:01]
With the different color records they had back in the days[00:00:04]
You know what I mean the belt-driven turntables the Technic joints[00:00:07]
(With the slipmats)[00:00:10]
Put nickels on the needles so the motherf**king record won't jump[00:00:11]
The needle won't skip and sh*t[00:00:14]
Getting juice from the f**king light poles[00:00:15]
Shout out to the Bronx ni**a [00:00:19]
Ay yo this sh*t go way back like a Uni marker kid[00:00:20]
Bombing the D train and hit the Bronx up[00:00:22]
Krylon bandits attack Planet Rock Bambaataa[00:00:25]
Peace to Pelan discovering rap[00:00:27]
And the DJ that made the first scratch[00:00:29]
Paved the way for Flex Mister Cee 'nuff of them cats[00:00:32]
See this rap sh*t came at a time that was accurate[00:00:35]
Twenty-something years later I mastered it[00:00:37]
Seen light poles get used for power[00:00:40]
I was a little ni**a[00:00:42]
Couldn't stay out late I was sour[00:00:43]
So I sat by the window heard the DJ cut[00:00:45]
"Impeach the Pres" "Apache" and "Just Begun"[00:00:47]
Otis Redding "Tramp"[00:00:50]
The music stopped guess the system blew out one of his amps[00:00:51]
It'd take a little while then it come back on[00:00:56]
Somebody stepped on the wire and sh*t that's all[00:00:58]
Now everybody's back in the groove echo chamber[00:01:00]
"Check one two one two" that's my favorite[00:01:03]
Strobe lights is live Pink Champale[00:01:05]
Little pink joints being lit up on the side[00:01:08]
Couple niggas had two fives[00:01:11]
Other than that cleared a circle in the park and shoot five[00:01:12]
Girls wore they Lees and jellies[00:01:16]
Jordache and Lees Tale Lords fit the fellys[00:01:18]
Samster Barons and Kangol buckets BVD's[00:01:21]
Go with the Sergio's like f**k it[00:01:23]
Seen the stamp on that Crazy Eddie[00:01:26]
Niggas coming back from the Funhouse dusted[00:01:28]
Throwing bubbles on the wall[00:01:30]
We must remind you[00:01:31]
Where this rap come from[00:01:35]
Yes my brother my sister[00:01:36]
It's our duty we must remind you[00:01:39]
Hip hop was set out in the park[00:01:41]
We used to do it out in the dark[00:01:47]
We used to do it out in the dark[00:01:49]
Yo it all started at the After Midnight Philly but walk with me[00:01:51]
Mad niggas coming down from New York City[00:01:54]
Prolly hit the skating rink USA[00:01:56]
Banging Schoolly "Gangster Boogie" and "PSK"[00:01:59]
I remember shells Gazelles top tens and lottos[00:02:01]
Mega design reefer smoke Coqui nine bottles[00:02:04]
(Entire wore velours call the boys with the Lucci wore )[00:02:06]
84's from Atlantic City Gucci store[00:02:09]
Linoleum break dancing Rust-Oleum cans[00:02:12]
I put the writing on the wall signed "Truly yours"[00:02:14]
Philly smashed '87 Music Seminar[00:02:17]
Out on the battlefield like Pat Benatar[00:02:19]
Kick the ball with Krown Rulers out of Camden[00:02:22]
People Patty Duke-ing in the party all cramped in[00:02:24]
Around the time Flav started cold lamping[00:02:27]
"Rebel Without a Pause" was the street anthem[00:02:29]
Old Memorex cassette tape collections[00:02:31]
Bright spotlights on all the fights at the Spectrum[00:02:34]
When the Fresh Fest come leather bombers and sheepskins[00:02:37]
Brothers would bust they guns to get one[00:02:40]
MC Breeze Disco C Jazzy Jeff[00:02:42]
Cash Money and Miz and Lady B[00:02:45]
Everybody banging "Sucker MC's" in '83[00:02:47]
I was South Philly like St Charles and Crazy D[00:02:49]
Them wild North Side Puerto Ricans would snuff you[00:02:52]
Twenty deep in a Ford Escort pumping the Tuff Crew[00:02:55]
I used to follow my cousin he was a buck too[00:02:58]
"Y'all don't like how I'm living well f**k you "[00:03:00]
I been a G since a little kid[00:03:03]
Sticking my head up into somebody's dollar party getting into sh*t[00:03:04]
And late nights shoulda been in bed[00:03:08]
Instead I was running round with them downtown lemonheads[00:03:10]
A little man hanging where them grown women is[00:03:13]
Under thirteen seeing real strong images[00:03:15]
And that's the reason for my real rap penmanship[00:03:18]
That's where I started it and that's where I'mma finish it[00:03:20]
(Hook)[00:03:23]
We must remind you[00:03:23]
Where this rap come from[00:03:24]
Yes my brother my sister[00:03:28]
It's our duty we must remind you[00:03:31]
Hip hop was set out in the park[00:03:33]
Hip hop was set out in the park[00:03:35]
Hip hop was set out in the park[00:03:38]
We used to do it out in the dark[00:03:40]
