[00:21.29] I know you love it, the game is so irresistible to touch
[00:26.45] You should see me when fienin' for microphones that I fienin' can clutch
[00:29.22] Droppin' bombs, combinin' the club attracts
[00:31.12] Like the Ol' Sugar hill Gang, King Tim and Fatback
[00:34.14] There's no question the suggestion was made
[00:36.68] The foundation was laid when the Furious played
[00:39.15] Grandmaster Flash slayed the competition that was wishin'
[00:42.48] They could serve the technician with the number one position
[00:45.04] The real deal, Fearless Four scored
[00:47.34] Bambataa was hotter, Spoony was givin' em nutta
[00:50.39] An' I was all up in my headzone, melody and all
[00:53.19] Cosign and the movement sayin' "Yes, yes y'all"
[00:56.05] It's just the love affair that never ended
[00:58.34] I recommended that I take microphones and blow 'em up
[01:01.11] Ain't that splendid this one goes out to all the hip hop do or diers

[01:31.26] Parrish and Erick cat lyrics that'll make ya turn it up
[01:33.88] And I was in the cut, chillin' in my drop-top Benz
[01:36.47] With friends, loungin' with my mens, laughin' 'bout all the ends
[01:39.52] That I spends, making snaps, pumping Kool G Rap and Biz
[01:42.12] Dapper Dan, Dookie wrotes I'm about to show what time it is
[01:44.87] At the rooftop, I was with Doug E.Fresh and Slick Rick
[01:47.66] 'La Di Da Di, Who likes to party?' was the fat shit

[01:53.26] Chuck D, PE, yes the rhythm and the rebel
[01:56.11] I can reminisce the black fist, Uzi, Terminators
[01:58.76] Terror doom techniques that terrorise the lighter shade
[02:01.48] It's all about the game that we play everyday

[02:53.22] My people are you with me where you at? Ya peep that?
[02:56.44] I'm on a mission to rejuvenate the funk
[02:58.70] Bring the game back and give the do-or-diers what they want
