I am original DJ Jazzy Jay from The mighty mighty Zulu Nation First off, I'm gonna say my name is Original scratch creator Grand Wizard Theodore
For those who don't know, I started back out in the '74 Afrika Bambata, Disco King Mario Cool Herc, Grand Master Flash And you know some of the pioneers That did it back then, ya know
Hip hop is universal man, it all depends upon what ya do it Hip hop is like what you call a bastard child of A lot of different forms of music I just feel good, that a lot of our bands are like Are like, recognizing, ya know, the culture
We used to play these beats because They used to drive us on the dance floor And people don't really know that as a rock record Until like the guitars come in and stuff like that
We didn't have no hip hop beats back in the days We had to take it from everywhere, we can get it from Its just trying to take it to another level That what keeps the music new and keeps it fresh
As far as, ya know, rock is concerned man I think rock is, ya know, a big part of hip hop man Rock helped influence hip hop Hip hop helped influence the world

Shh, yeah, hey Shh, you hear me Okay, listen
Yo, it's like a triple stage darkness, listen and drift Every muscle in your skin starts to shake and shift You can hate the gift but my phrase is dazed Ya click spray your face when I spit, I mean it You're just too conceited, repeatin' and repeatin' You're a thugged out gangsta pimp 'till you believe it
Seems like there's too much 'Pac, we don't need it I'm cool on your heat, you can keep it It's not a big secret, this is a game you can't win You're singin' the same thing Though we're bringin' the yen So just close your eyes and pretend again That your skin isn't as thin As the skin you're in bitch
Give me a second just to spell it out So nobody can twist what I'm talkin' about I don't have to fake anything I feel because We both know every word is real
So give me a second just to spell it out So nobody can twist what I'm talkin' about I don't have to fake anything I feel because We both know every word is real
Right about now, the funk soul brother Check it out now, the funk soul brother Right about now, the funk soul brother Check it out now, the funk soul brother
I got the skills of titanium, straight to the cranium Try to play me, and we could go to war like Iranians The deep cat, I speak rap As long as the beat phat, my shit'll be off the meat rack
Lord Finesse, don't harass the god Spit four bars and piss on, like half your squad So the savage, I don't gay bash I don't harass if you niggas Playin' Russian roulette with automatics
See, on the street, I'm top in rank Three words, when I get the dice, stop the bank Bet against me, you get your cash to me My street team, promote nothin' but ass whoopins
Hard headed, handsome boys, the lost niggas The type that sport the chicks on their arm like John Ritter The bomb niggas, being stabbing the third Better play like Jehovah witness, and spread the word
This sky opens wide, swallowing again Once I am inside, I'm lost and can't pretend These pictures in my mind are not a part of me These memories all the time till I can hardly breathe I can hardly breathe, I can hardly stop the memories
Nothing I can say or do Will take away what I've been through What you were is what I've come to be Nothing you can say to me Will take away these memories What you were is what I've come to be
