Tava de boa no meu carro um dia, sacou?We was coolin in my car one day you see
Fazendo uma velocidade de 85 na L-I EClockin a double nickel on the L-I E
Quando caiu a ficha que já eram dez horasWhen it dawned on us that it was, ten o'clock
Aumentei o som pra ouvir o DJ mandando verTurned on the tunes to hear the DJ's rock
As palmas começaram a bater, os dedos estalandoThe hands got to clappin, the fingers got to snappin
E eu tava tranquilo, com os amigos, ele estalandoE and I was coolin, with his mans, he was snappin
Entre fantasias de como grandes poderíamos serIn and out of fantasies on how large we can get
De boa em carros e Benzes com kit de efeito no chãoCoolin in rocks and Benzes with the ground effect kits
Eu queria preto, E preferia dois tonsI wanted black, E was on the two-tone
Sistema bombando com o telefone sem fioStupid boomin system with the hands-free phone
O sonho só melhorava e eu queria continuarThe dream gets better and I would like to go on
mas voltei pra realidade com a buzina de um carrobut I was brought back to reality by a toot of a horn
Fumaça por todo lado, oh, era tudo que precisávamosSmoke everywhere, oh just what we needed
A caminho de mostrar nosso demo e o carro superaqueceuOn the way to shop our demo and the car overheated
Me sentindo pra baixo, pra baixo o suficiente pra morrerFeelin real low, low enough to die
Parando o trânsito, na FDR driveHoldin up traffic, on the FDR drive
Tivemos que nos virar, com as roupas novasWe had to play ourselves, in the fresh dipped gear
E o E Double teve que empurrar enquanto o MD dirigiaE Double had to push while MD steered
Lá se foram nossos sonhos, de passear em limos douradasThere went our dreams, to cruise in golden limos
E tudo que a gente dizia era por favor, ouça meu demoAnd all we kept sayin was please listen to my demo

Por favor, ouça meu demo [x3]Please listen to my demo [x3]
Por favor-por favor-por favor-por favor, ouça meu demoPlease-please-please-ple-please listen to my demo

[Verso Dois: Erick Sermon][Verse Two: Erick Sermon]

No ano de oitenta e sete, quando tudo começouIn the year eighty-seven when we first took off
Quando eu pulei pra P-6-8 e fui pro Nortewhen I jumped to P-6-8 and broke North
Andando pelas grandes ruas de ManhattanWalkin the big city streets of Manhattan
Prédios, tudo isso, tão encantadorBuildings, whole nine yards, so enchantin
Pensando se tivéssemos uma chance, poderíamos arrasarThinkin if we got a chance, we could rock it
Demo funk e fresco no meu bolsoFunky fresh demo tape in my pocket
Tava andando e levei dois fora hojeWe was walkin, and got dissed twice today
Então paramos na 1974 BroadwayThen we stopped at 1974 Broadway
Entramos com sorrisos no rostoWe walked in with grins on our chins
E o P tinha a moral do Mr. Virgo SimmsAnd P had juice from Mr. Virgo Simms
Ele tocou a fita e começamos a rirHe played the tape and we started to laugh
Tocou "se fosse um soco" e eles vieram com tudoPlayed ?if it was sock? and they swoop and backstab
As pessoas começaram a sorrir, a gente se divertindoPeople start to smile inside we buckwhylin
Dizendo que tudo começou com freestyleSayin this all started back from freestylin
Eles gostaram, e foram muito legaisThey liked it, and they were very kind
Mas eu e o P estávamos tipo, "E aí E, onde a gente assina?"But me and P was like, "Yo E, where do we sign?"
Fomos pro fundo, tudo era amor e carinhoWent in the backroom, things was luvy duvy
Conhecemos Ron Resnick e seu parceiro JuggyMet Ron Resnick, and his partner Juggy
As coisas estavam tranquilas, como eu lembravaThings was cool, as I remembered
Assinamos o contrato, agora éramos membros da Fresh RecordWe signed the dotted line, now we Fresh Record members
Tínhamos sonhos de carros e limos de luxoHad dreams, of fancy cars and limos
E tudo que eu queria era alguém, pra ouvir meu demoAnd I wanted was somebody, to listen to my demo
