[00:09.517]"Boogie Down was performing

[00:14.465]"Boogie Down was performing
[00:18.280]Hey they ain't no joke"
[00:19.787]Back in the days I knew rap would never die
[00:21.840]I used to listen to Awesome-2 on WHBI
[00:24.951]I used to hear all kind of rap groups
[00:26.620]Before sampling loops
[00:27.897]Rappers wore bell-bottom Lee suits
[00:29.998]Me and Kenny couldn't afford that
[00:31.780]So we would go to the park
[00:33.006]When they was jammin' to hear rap
[00:34.942]I used to listen till the cops broke it up
[00:37.052]I always thought to myself
[00:38.456]"Damn, why they ****** it up?"
[00:39.918]But nevertheless I was in love with the microphone
[00:42.480]And it stayed that way until I left home
[00:44.900]On the streets of New York, now I'm free
[00:47.358]But with freedom comes big responsibility
[00:49.816]I used to walk around driven by the force
[00:51.837]I remember how large Super Rhymes was
[00:53.904]When he fell off, I used to wonder about
[00:55.894]Crews that used to rock, they were large
[00:57.702]But none of them could manage to stay on top
[00:59.892]Do you ever think about when you outta here?
[01:02.284]Record deal and video outta here?
[01:04.830]Mercedes Benz and Range Rover outta here?
[01:06.953]No doubt BDP is old school but we ain't goin' out!
[01:09.326]"Boogie Down was performing
[01:10.489]Hey they ain't no joke"
[01:12.061]"Down with the sound called B-D-P"
[01:14.000]"Boogie Down was performing
[01:15.452]Hey they ain't no joke"
[01:17.151]"Down with the sound called B-D-P"
[01:19.799]After livin' on the streets alone
[01:21.842]Some years went by
[01:22.767]I signed myself into a group home
[01:24.655]I used to watch the show
[01:25.758]'I Dream of Jeannie' and dreamt about
[01:27.716]"When will I be large like Whodini?"
[01:29.601]But I was messin' with graffiti on the subway
[01:32.111]And gettin' chased by the cops almost everyday
[01:34.559]I knew it had to be a better way see
[01:36.541]So I would go to my room, blast RUN DMC
[01:39.677]Around 1984 I left the group home, again alone
[01:42.753]Still dreamin' about the microphone
[01:44.715]Gimme a chance man, I know I can rock it
[01:46.697]But I had to worry about puttin' money in my pocket
[01:49.515]So when I reached the shelter
[01:50.920]I met my helper DJ Scott La Rock
[01:52.721]And we both loved hip-hop
[01:54.558]I was takin' suckas out in the shelter system
[01:56.985]Yeah there was rappers in the shelter
[01:58.412]But I had to diss 'em
[01:59.556]But all along, my vision was never lost
[02:01.953]I kept seeing all these rap groups fallin' off
[02:04.670]Do you ever think about when you're outta here?
[02:07.147]Fly girl and fresh gear outta here?
[02:09.705]Five-thousand dollar love seat outta here?
[02:11.679]No doubt BDP is old school
[02:13.171]But we ain't goin' out!
[02:14.076]"Boogie Down was performing
[02:15.248]Hey they ain't no joke"
[02:16.838]"Down with the sound called B-D-P"
[02:18.945]"Boogie Down was performing
[02:20.142]Hey they ain't no joke"
[02:21.860]"Down with the sound called B-D-P"
[02:24.004]While I'm battling these rival crews
[02:26.518]Yes, BDP would stay in the Street News
[02:29.262]Some said, "All they wanna do is battle"
[02:31.320]They can't write a song
[02:32.590]So their careers won't last long!
[02:34.462]Around this time I used to hang with Ced Gee
[02:36.590]And DJ Scott La Rock used to buy gold with Eric B
[02:39.393]I didn't meet Rakim till later with Scott
[02:41.893]I remember we were jammin' at the rooftop
[02:44.391]It used to irk me when these critics had opinions
[02:46.691]Scott would say "Just keep rappin, I'll keep spinnin'"
[02:49.330]We had a ****** up contract, but we signed it
[02:51.919]And dropped the hip-hop album Criminal Minded
[02:54.330]We told the critics your opinions are bull
[02:56.239]Same time Eric B and Rakim dropped Paid in Full
[02:59.406]Hip-hop pioneers we didn't ask to be
[03:01.825]But right then hip-hop changed drastically
[03:04.307]People didn't wanna hear the old rap sound
[03:06.684]We started samplin' beats by James Brown
[03:09.270]In the middle of doin' "My Philosophy"
[03:11.668]Scott was killed and that ******t got to me
[03:14.187]But knowin' the laws of life and death
[03:16.385]I knew his breath, was one with my breath
[03:19.250]I had nothin' left and it was scary
[03:21.655]So I dropped By All Means Necessary
[03:24.197]Another hip-hop group that was a friend of me
[03:26.617]Was a revolution crew called Public Enemy
[03:29.172]It Takes A Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back
[03:31.438]These two albums set off consciousness in rap
[03:34.104]But all along, I'm still lookin' around
[03:36.368]And all I can see are these rap groups fallin' down
[03:39.264]Do you ever think about when you outta here?
[03:41.652]Condominium and beach house outta here?
[03:44.307]Credit cards and bank accounts outta here?
[03:46.170]No doubt BDP is old school
[03:47.760]But we ain't going out!
