Remember the day, 'member the play, 'member the way we used to say |
|
"Dee-dee-dee-da-di-dee-dee-dee-dee-da-di-dayyyyy" |

Remember the jams, 'member the plans |

Remember the architects of hip-hop |

|
My last name should have been Letterman like Dave |
|
But I wasn't his slave, I'm referrin to the way |
|
that my lyrics behave, when I rock raves |
|
Let off shockwaves baby it's crazy not too much can stop me |
|
I walk right in, these other cats be knock-kneed |
|
Terrified, they still actin all cocky |
|
When the storm hits they be screamin "MAMI! PAPI!" |
|
"AUNTIE! SOMEBODY!" I'm from the orthodoxy |
|
It takes more to rock me, like in "Attack of the Clones" |
|
these rappers be carbon copies, and they hardly got the |
|
flow, rhyme style sloppy and old |
