歌曲 | Red Hook Day |
歌手 | Shabazz the Disciple |
专辑 | The Book of Shabazz (Hidden Scrollz) |
作曲 : Collins, Dalton | |
Yo it was all a dream, me and my brothers shakim and rahkeem | |
Up black crib puffin l's seeing ourselves on the screen | |
Our pictures in a magazine, we up in a limousine | |
In suede bally's, silk shirts and jeans with the Gucci seams | |
I beat boxed and niggaz flow till we was dizzy | |
My manager Mo, Chuck, Fresh, G-Money, Wil, Louie and Wizzy | |
Those were my favorite days when I turn back the page | |
And everyday we did a show, the staircase was the stage | |
And yo the name of the group: it was "RAHSHASHA" | |
Whoever thought that hip hop would make it this far | |
At 16 we did our first real show at the miccio | |
My mother believed in us, she shot our first video | |
We would go to my uncle young's house every sunday | |
He let us do our thang, we had a hot tape on monday | |
I love them both for that, they always had my back | |
They made me who I am today, I see that when I look back | |
Red Hook day gave me the confidence to do what I do | |
Mr. Gus, Stephen Moore, 9-2 Crash Crew | |
RZA seen what it took the world time to see | |
I dedicate this to y'all for inspiring me come on! | |
[Chorus] | |
Talk to me y'all aha! aha! it's Red Hook day yall | |
Talk to me yall! | |
[Verse Two] | |
Hip-Hop is my religion son, music and fashion | |
Since I was a lil nigga yo, I do this with passion | |
It took me around the world from brazil to paris | |
Even on channel 2 news with my man reggie harris | |
Crime saga nominated soul train '96 | |
Even though I do it son, I'm still a fan of this shit | |
When "BDP" said didididadiday | |
KRS dissed Marley Marl, Shan and Shante | |
And Stetsasonic had the Brooklyn anthem | |
We would rush a house party mob deep and vamp them | |
I slammed the mic when I'm done and kicked a hole in the speaker | |
When Rakim told Big Daddy Kane +Follow the Leader+ | |
When Slick and Doug E. them said +La-Di-Da-Di+ | |
When trench coats would hide the shottie to stick up the party | |
We was forever on that Brooklyn bullshit | |
My new projects posse was quick to pull shit | |
And **** a fair one, you got ya head snuffed and stomped in | |
Back when that nigga Tim Dog made +**** Compton+ | |
+Hey Young World+ is my all time favorite | |
Even now I still sing it every time when I play it | |
I dedicate this to y'all for inspiring me | |
And all my fans around the world whose admiring me | |
I had the vision all my life son, I came a long way | |
And now the whole world's invited | |
I welcome y'all to Red Hook day! | |
[Chorus] | |
[Verse Three] | |
My Uncle Cliff and Calvin Klein always knew I had the vision in mind | |
And one day it'll be my time to shine | |
Back in 1989 they bought me up to 105.9 | |
They played my shit and it lit up the phone lines | |
Ladies and gentlemen, you're about to see | |
A past time hobby about to be | |
Taken to the cinema screens and BET | |
And be blazin ON WQHT and MTV | |
Shit, I sacrificed my whole life for this | |
Everyday I roll the dice and pray to Christ for this, for real! | |
I sacrifice my whole life for this | |
Everyday I roll the dice and pray to Christ for this | |
Def Jam was always my favorite label | |
Since the days I rocked "2 TONE" leather pants and a gold cable | |
And +Krush Groove+ showed me dreams come true | |
All a nigga need is passion to follow' 'em through | |
I love Russell Simmons he inspire me to hustle and keep swimming | |
And never give up the struggle, focus on winning | |
This year I'ma do my thang, word to "RAH" who hovers me | |
I'll love +Wu-Tang Forever+, cause the RZA discovered me | |
[Chorus] | |
Come on come on ha! |
