Spoken Word Lyrics - In Stereo - Bomfunk Mc's

Da poetry, by now you should know it's me, the brother of word 

Giving thanks and praises to so many names and faces 

In different places 

From '84 to '99, it's been a very long time 

Since the movement called hip hop arrived to this cold country of mine 

Seen the old, the new, and now the true skool 

And for once I can say, something has changed 

Or is it just me? in the place to be 

Hardcore! 

Am I about to take it in my face? 

Question... where were you at the time of tha fat shoelaces 

When the hell was really raised 

Huh, I know every face.. writers, breakers, dj's, emcees, flygirls 

Representing, respecting unwritten laws 

Rules, star wars.. 

By even though, there's one thing I know, and it's been said before 

Eliminate the distance, 

It's not where you're from, it's where you're at ..mentally.. 

Da poetry. 

Nuff love, peace and respect. come correct 

You gotta pay your dues, if you got something to prove 

It is a competition, 'coz the business side can't see the mission 

A.k.a the b-boy vision(/wisdom) 

2000 and still counting... 

(after the phone rings:) 

Yo, it's s u c k s 

And I gotta run but come for the bomfunk crew 

So you'd better listen if you don't wanna be missing 

The perfect combination on the mission to rock the dancefloor 

To hit you right where it hurts 

I'll leave you begging for more 

Like roger, but this is not a story of a rabbit 

Gismo and b.o.w just got a habit 

Of speeding up your heartbeat 

Holding you no doubt yo bomfunk mc's do it to the crowd 

What up looking good catch me cooking food
