Here it Go Lyrics

Ayo I started doing this many years ago

But I don't claim to know it all I ain't scared to grow

Took time with the rhyme and prepared the flow

Yo I wrote a song about it wanna hear it here it go

Just a little something for my peers to know

Who think Philly backpack and thick beards that grow

Oversized hats and throwback gear fasho

Yo I wrote a song about it wanna hear it here it go

I was born in the 70's blessed with a heavenly

Flow so natural seem to go with any melody

Keep practicing is what my conscience kept telling me

But let me take you back when niggas wasn't really feeling me

I go downtown every week buying breakbeats

Cause I ain't know no cats who knew how to make beats

Pause mixin, tape loopin, bul was learning lessons

My shit would sound like The Beatles old recording sessions

Finally got my start when I put a Boss Dr. Rhythm

Drum machine on layaway at Pennsauken Mart

Making beats at a hard rate

My man Galactus Wiz let me hold his 4-track and his Roland R-8

It's been a long road travelled had my fair share of battles

With cats who rattle on spittin senseless babble

Absolute gibberish, don't make me embarrass ya

Come out my character and get niggerish

Yo matter of fact, I went to Martin Luther King High School

You can't too much Blacker than that

It was crazy back then

Around the same time Jamaican Shower Posse

Had beef with the JBM

Steady B and Cool C came to my school and rocked

Never think they would rob a bank and murder a cop

Niggas used to clown me like I was the nerd of the block

Now they on my jock, word to mother , word to my Pop

Ayo I started doing this many years ago

But I don't claim to know it all I ain't scared to grow

Took time with the rhyme and prepared the flow

Yo I wrote a song about it wanna hear it here it go

Just a little something for my peers to know

Who think Philly backpack and thick beards that grow

Oversized hats and throwback gear fasho

Yo I wrote a song about it wanna hear it here it go

Whoever said rap don't teach nothing

I'm quick to laugh at ya

Before Stetsasonic I ain't know much about Africa

A.F.R.I.C.A, Angola, Soweto, Zimbabwe

But what country in the motherland my peoples come from?

Like most black peeps I can't tell you dun son

I'm a lost soul every time I open my mouth

I traced my roots but it's to a plantation down south

I'm tryna keep it real, that's as far as I can go

That's why I ask my grandmama please tell me what you know

So I can be a little more aware about who I be

Black and Cherokee what the deal kemosabe

Spark a little cultural awareness, yeah probably

But I'm a far cry from Mos Def and Kweli

Got Common Sense but not all smarty arty

Just a cat from the street, can ride a beat and rock the party

Ayo I started doing this many years ago

But I don't claim to know it all I ain't scared to grow

Took time with the rhyme and prepared the flow

Yo I wrote a song about it wanna hear it here it go

Just a little something for my peers to know

Who think Philly backpack and thick beards that grow

Oversized hats and throwback gear fasho

Yo I wrote a song about it wanna hear it here it go

While you more concerned with Janet Jackson's titty

I'm busy tryna get my name known in every city

So please don't knock my hustle cause you offending me

I go up in your mouth like I got a degree in dentistry

For one, I ain't one them niggas rappin for fun

Talkin bout keep it real with no doe and no deal

You won't catch me on the internet beefin with you dunny

While you busy wasting time I'm writing rhymes, making money

Knew this cat whose mom was on crack, pain was gettin to'em

Hole in his ceiling, used to rain in his living room

Kiddie pool in the middle of the floor to, collect the water

Couldn't afford to fix it they was too poor to

Seen first hand, what the glass dick to do to ya

Pawn all your records and everything in your studio

But not me, you'll see me in the dark, rims spinnin

As I trot across this globe like I'm Meadowlark Lemon

Ayo I started doing this many years ago

But I don't claim to know it all I ain't scared to grow

Took time with the rhyme and prepared the flow

Yo I wrote a song about it wanna hear it here it go

Just a little something for my peers to know

Who think Philly backpack and thick beards that grow

Oversized hats and throwback gear fasho

Yo I wrote a song about it wanna hear it here it go
