Spoken Word — текст песни (Bomfunk MC`s)

Da poetry
By now you should know it`s me
The brother of word
Giving thanks and praises
To so many names and faces
In different places
From `84 to `99
It`s been a very long time
Since the movement called hip-hop arrived
To this cold country of mine
Seen the old, the new
And now the true school
And for once I can say
Something has changed
Or is it just me
In the place to be (hardcore)
Am I about to take it in my face
Question, where were you at at the time of the fat shoelaces
When the hell was really raised, huh
I know every face
Writers, breakers, DJ`s, MC`s, Fly girls
Representing, respecting, unwritten laws
Rules, star wars
But even though
There`s one thing I know
And it`s been said before
Eliminate the distance
It`s not where you`re from, it`s where you at
Mentally
The poetry
Enough love, peace and respect
Come correct
You gotta pay your dues
If you`ve got something to prove
It is a competition
Cause the business side can`t see the mission
a-k-a the B-boy vision
Two thousand and still counting

Yo it S-U-C-K-S
And I gotta run but come for the Bomfunk crew
So you`d better listen if you don`t wanna be missing
The perfect combination on a mission to rock the dancefloor
To hit you right where it hurts, I`ll leave you begging for more
Like Roger, but this is not a story of a rabbit
Gismo and B-O-W just got a habit
Of speeding up your heartbeat
Moving you no doubt, so Bomfunk MC`s do it to the crowd
What up looking good, catch me cooking food
