Take it thereTake em there[ VERSE 1 ]I used to live Uptown, 2-1-9th StreetWhite Plains, everything was concreteOn my block up on the hillBarnes Ave., yo, everything was chillTill night fall, that`s when they come out(The freaks y`all) Watch the kid with the gun outNow many people tell me New York City is horrificIt is kinda... scary, but let`s be realisticThis is the part that started this musicWhen other people out there in the world couldn`t do itParty people had to wait to seeThe DJ`s go forth and backWe used to rock off these breakbeatsWay before they called it rapMatter of fact, now that I think backHip-hop was the start of somethin bigThe way we took this art straight from the parksTo where you live[ CHORUS ]Now this story had to be toldAbout how we came in from the coldPlayed my hand and refused to foldWe made somethin new out of what was oldAnd what we make no man can breakSo I took my time cause it was mine to takeNow low and behold, I heard my tape just sold1`000`001, son, now I`m draped in goldI took it there[ VERSE 2 ]Now years ago when I was 9Pops said, "It`s time to rise and shine"He said, "New York City ain`t the place to stay"We packed the ride and left and headed for L.A.Took us west straight through the countrySee, California is the place to seeSo daddy put us inside his CadillacWe hit the West coast, I thought we`d never come backNow I`m walking green grass, 3 years went pastPalm trees, ocean breeze, where the summers lastYou see ah, that`s the life that I leadIt taught me home is just a place where you lay your headNow get packed, we`re makin tracks and stretch across the mapAnd there`s nothin in this world could ever hold us backAnd I still hold my body in a b-boy stanceAnd rock on the mic to make the world wanna danceIt`s fly for the clubs, hardcore for the thugsWhen Ak is on the mic it`s definitely all love[ CHORUS ][ VERSE 3 ]`82 was the yearWe touched down in Chi-town, I see it all so clearMotel hell, livin life so poorSix of us in the studio, we slept on the floorVice Lords swingin swords, G.D.`s bust they gatsLatin Kings on the corner with the baseball batsBut life this way could only get you so farWhen I hopped the train I rode on the last carAnd all I did was puff cheeba, it took my thoughts deeperDropped out of school, found a job so I could keep aRoof over my head, shoes on my feetMany nights I didn`t eat, I learned to hustle in these streetsThey say it`s all about money sellin crack to these junkiesBut now I got somethin that they can`t take from meI`ma push my tape just like it`s cocaineLet these rap fiends shoot me up in they veinThey play my jam out in the parkGimme ghetto gold, keep your Billboard chartWhen I walk through the [Name] I get love and respectKeep one ear to the ground, greet my fam with a poundFeels good comin out y`all, book my first world tourLP`s in the store, I spit it if you want it raw( *scratching of* )(You better recognize who you`re talking to)(Crushing the competition that I stomp from east to west) --> Prince Poetry(Who you`re talking to)(Crushing the competition that I stomp from east to west)(Let`s get it on, ock) --> The RZA(Crushing the competition that I stomp from east to west)(Now watch the spot get blown) --> The RZA
