On The Block
I mean, white rapper
There's so many of us now
White people like rap now
Ah, ah, yeah
[Chorus x2]
[R.A. in the background]
Slick Rick The Ruler, where's the vocals yo? Come in here
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ah-ah-ah, check out this bizarre
Ayyo! Ayyo!
[Verse One]
Remember Slick Rick The Ruler, remember MC Shan used to wear Puma
Remember Masters of Ceremony, Grand Puba
Remember Daddy Kane Aids rumor
Yo, bring it back, yo
Yo, at the rolling rinks, no skates on
Early '80's, girl chase on
Kurtis Blow listed the breaks on
Flavor Flav, Public Enemy clocks, boombox
EPMD made us proud that we was from the Boondocks
Before Boob or Steady B, Heavy D, Mouthburnin
Craig G, Shout rap version, TRUE SCHOOL
Rock Box, Run-D.M.C., true hip hop
Before Biggie and 2pac got shot, there was Scott La Rock
Before we even learned to make beats, we was in the basement
Freestylin, to 45 King breakbeats
But see, rap is corporate now
It's all about endorsments
So now the rich kids love it, so fuck them poor kids now!
[Chorus x2]
[Verse Two]
I remember when the mainstream hated rap music
When James Brown samples was the new shit
I yelled BOX like Cool J on some Krush Groove shit
Dapper Dan shit, Ms. Pac-Man shit
That's when Rakim ran shit [Ran shit]
Before Sweet T was Suga, before ??? Jack Soopafly snooka
Back when Biz Markie was busy pickin boogers
Super Lover Cee, L-y-t-e, Chill Rob G
Graffiti vandals, Jimmy Packer sex scandals
Videos, Ralph MacDaniels
Back when we didn't have the papered samples
Beasties, Chuck D, Busy Bee got ate up ??? battle Kool Moe Dee
Chubb Rock hits the Grammys, Hitman Howie Tee, Doug E. Fresh, Chill Will, Barry B
BDP, Eazy E, PRT, Lakim Shabazz, Jaz, Jay-Z, Tragedy, QB
[Chorus x2]
[Verse Three]
Markey Fresh, The Mack of Rap, now the Fat Boys are back
X-Clan, ZOOM, pro black, Mr. Bozack
Where the hoes at, I'ma go back
Before we had show DATs, no gats, no plaques
Happy Days, Fonzie and Posse
Bomb Squad, Hank Shocklee and Keith Shocklee
DITC, Kool Keith, Ced Gee
Busy Boys, Realski
Milk D, Positive K, First Priority Posse
8th grade, parents on vacation, house mackin, playin
Spin the battle in the basement, fuck ???
Misbehavein, shootin pelletguns at Dunkin Donuts
Make the police go nuts
Used their nice sticks to chock us
Old School, do stay true, Rock Stedy Crew, Zulu
Cash Money, Marvellous, Funkmaster Flex
???, Kool G, Shante, Glamorous
Fresh Prince, Jazzy Jeff
[Chorus x2]
[Verse Four]
Simphony and Simphony 2

We had Marvin Hagler, fuck Oscar De La Hoya
Doin it, doin it too much
6th grade, I ate my first pussy
In the back of the school bus [fadin into the chorus]
[Chorus x2]
No Bairro
Eu digo, rapper branco
Tem tantos de nós agora
Os brancos gostam de rap agora
Ah, ah, é
[Refrão x2]
[R.A. ao fundo]
Slick Rick The Ruler, cadê as vozes, yo? Entra aqui
É, é, é
Ah-ah-ah, confere esse bizarro
Ayyo! Ayyo!
[Verso Um]
Lembra do Slick Rick The Ruler, lembra do MC Shan que usava Puma
Lembra dos Masters of Ceremony, Grand Puba
Lembra do boato sobre o Daddy Kane
Yo, traz de volta, yo
Yo, nas pistas de patinação, sem patins
Início dos anos 80, correndo atrás das garotas
Kurtis Blow listou os breaks
Flavor Flav, Public Enemy com relógios, boombox
EPMD nos deixou orgulhosos de sermos dos Boondocks
Antes do Boob ou Steady B, Heavy D, Mouthburnin
Craig G, versão do rap Shout, TRUE SCHOOL
Rock Box, Run-D.M.C., verdadeiro hip hop
Antes do Biggie e do 2pac serem baleados, tinha Scott La Rock
Antes de aprendermos a fazer beats, estávamos no porão
Freestylando, com os breakbeats do 45 King
Mas veja, o rap agora é corporativo
É tudo sobre patrocínios
Então agora os ricos adoram, e que se danem os pobres agora!
[Refrão x2]
[Verso Dois]
Eu lembro quando a mídia mainstream odiava rap
Quando samples do James Brown eram a nova onda
Eu gritava BOX como o Cool J em alguma parada do Krush Groove
Parada do Dapper Dan, coisa da Ms. Pac-Man
Foi quando o Rakim mandava ver [Mandava ver]
Antes da Sweet T ser Suga, antes do ??? Jack Soopafly snooka
Na época em que o Biz Markie estava ocupado catando meleca
Super Lover Cee, L-y-t-e, Chill Rob G
Vândalos do graffiti, escândalos sexuais do Jimmy Packer
Vídeos, Ralph MacDaniels
Na época em que não tínhamos samples pagos
Beasties, Chuck D, Busy Bee foi devorado ??? batalha Kool Moe Dee
Chubb Rock chega ao Grammy, Hitman Howie Tee, Doug E. Fresh, Chill Will, Barry B
BDP, Eazy E, PRT, Lakim Shabazz, Jaz, Jay-Z, Tragedy, QB
[Refrão x2]
[Verso Três]
Markey Fresh, O Mack do Rap, agora os Fat Boys estão de volta
X-Clan, ZOOM, pro black, Mr. Bozack
Onde estão as minas, eu vou voltar
Antes de termos show DATs, sem armas, sem prêmios
Happy Days, Fonzie e Posse
Bomb Squad, Hank Shocklee e Keith Shocklee
DITC, Kool Keith, Ced Gee
Busy Boys, Realski
Milk D, Positive K, First Priority Posse
8ª série, pais de férias, fazendo bagunça em casa, jogando
Rodando a batalha no porão, que se dane ???
Comportando-se mal, atirando com armas de pressão no Dunkin Donuts
Fazendo a polícia pirar
Usaram seus bastões legais para nos encurralar
Old School, sempre verdadeiro, Rock Steady Crew, Zulu
Cash Money, Marvellous, Funkmaster Flex
???, Kool G, Shante, Glamorous
Fresh Prince, Jazzy Jeff
[Refrão x2]
[Verso Quatro]
Simphony e Simphony 2
Main Source ao vivo no Barbeque
Nas e Akinyele estreando
EZ Ice, Soul Man
Def Squad, Hit Squad
Os vídeos do 2 Live Crew costumavam deixar meu pau duro (OINK!)
Salt 'N Pepa Shoopin, buracos e Plug Tunin
Russell Simmons e Rick Rubin
Fecharam tudo, Pete Rock produzindo
Just-Ice, LaToya
Tivemos Marvin Hagler, que se dane Oscar De La Hoya
Fazendo isso, fazendo isso demais
6ª série, eu comi minha primeira xoxota
No fundo do ônibus escolar [desvanecendo no refrão]
[Refrão x2]
