Текст (слова) песни: MC Shan - Back to the Basics

 
( *Marley Marl cuts up* ) 
"Come on y`all 
Get down" 
 
It might`ve took a while 
But you knew I had to hit you with a brand new funky rhyme 
Guess you already know, so I`m ready to go 
Marlon, hit me with the beat one time 
Right now I`m gonna introduce myself 
So y`all know just who I be 
All you suckers in the house stay quiet as a mouse 
Instead of Shan call me Mr. MC 
I`m goin back to the basics 
 
When I was just a young boy, who ever would`ve thought 
I`d grow up to be an MC 
But my rhymes are so nice that they paid my price 
Because fortune and fame ain`t free 
These words I`m recitin are written in a style 
That you ain`t heard in a long time 
And a song like this`ll make a rapper reminisce 
About the days when he was in his prime 
I ain`t never lost no battles yet 
What made you think I would? 
How many times does it take, all the rappers I break 
And you still don`t think I`m good 
This girl in my class tried to move too fast 
When she tried to pull down my zipper 
Well, things got strange when the whole scene changed 
And I all out tried to strip her 
Teacher stepped in between, sent me straight to the Dean 
That`s where I thought my journey ended 
Call your moms up to school, are you some fool? 
And forget about bein suspended 
You went back to the basics 
 
Here`s the story on how I got started 
Yes, way back in the day 
With my man Infinite, Jazzy [Name], Akim 
And fly girl Roxanne Shantй 
People used to hear that our crew was nice 
But rappers just had to be convinced 
And those who walked through 12th Street tried to say a rhyme 
You seen or heard from em since 
We sent em back to the basics 
 
Yes yes y`all, it`s like this y`all 
MC Shan with a brand new twist y`all 
One day when me and Marley Marl was playin in a ditch 
We made this jam that we knew would slam 
And some day it would make us rich 
Marley Marl had B-36 bass bottoms 
And he cut you up on the spot 
And with my rhymes combined all the papers got signed 
And `The B-B-B-B-Bridge` got dropped 
We went back to the basics
