And its never going out
That's why I took this time to spell these lyrics out
I wanna give thanx to the lyricists MC's
And DJ's that brought me near to this
Blastmaster, KRS-One the teacher
Run D-M-C and the movie Beat Street
Erik B. and Rakim was Paid in Full
De La Soul came along and broke all the rules
I remember when my girl bought me Tribe Called Quest
We broke up later but I kept the cassette
Kool Moe Dee, Doug E. Fresh, Big Daddy Kane
Main Source, Pharcyde and Dana Dane
Steady B on the hilltop
With Lady B on Power 99 West Philly
Cypress Hill, The Goats and Das EFX
Tupac, EPMD
Lets see who's next
Jungle Brothers, Gang Starr and Bizmarkie Jazzy Jeff, the Fresh Prince
Puts summer in my ears
Slick Rick, Funk Doobie and the Beastie Boys
And all the rest that make some noise
There's plenty more people that's comin on
