rockin&#8217; a hard beat live in the park<br \/>\nGuns spark in the dark<br \/>\nIt was all just a part<br \/>\nOf the eighties Bronx scene that created all<br \/>\n&quot;How you know<br \/>\nKRS?&quot; &#8216;Cause I was there from the start<br \/>\nSixteen-hundred Centric Avenue<br \/>\nThat was the spot<br \/>\nFifteen-twenty, hip-hop started right<\/p>\n<p>On my block<br \/>\nThis

so damn poor<br \/>\nWe was eatin&#8217; free cheese<br \/>\nBut that made us raw, we started eatin&#8217; MCs<br \/>\nThis before the fees and the MTVs<br \/>\nWhen you walked in New York<br \/>\nAnd your ears would freeze<br \/>\nWildin&#8217; beats, my necks and Ts<br \/>\nNight-long BVDs, we was fuckin&#8217; with these<br \/>\nWe was fuckin&#8217; with this<br \/>\nWe was fuckin&#8217; with that<br \/>\nBut when the eighties came in<br \/>\nWe started fuckin&#8217; with crack<br \/>\nAnd along with the crack came a big ol&#8217; gat<br \/>\nAnd along with the gat came a big ol&#8217;
