RA The Rugged Man - On The Block LYRICS

I mean, white rapper

There's so many of us now

White people like rap now

Ah, ah, yeah



[Chorus] - 2X



Everyday, ghetto niggaz from my block

?

?



[R.A. in the background]

Slick Rick The Ruler, where's the vocals yo? Come in here

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Ah-ah-ah, check out this bizarre

Ayyo! Ayyo!



[R.A. Verse One]

Remember Slick Rick The Ruler, remember MC Shan used to wear Puma

Remember Masters of Ceremonies, Grand Pubah

Remember Daddy Kane Aids' rumor

Yo, bring it back, yo

Yo, at the Roller Rinks, no skates on

Early 80s, girl chase on

Kurtis Blow ? the breaks on

Flavor Flav, Public Enemy clocks, boom box

EPMD made us proud that we was from Boondocks

Before Pubah, Steady B, Heavy D, Mouthburnin

Craig G, Shy rap version, TRUE SCHOOL

Rock Box, Run Dmc, true hip hop

Before Biggie and 2pac got shot, there was Scott La Rock

Before we even learned to make beats, we was in the basement

Freestylin', to 45 King breakbeats

But see, rap is corporate now

It's all about endorsments

So now the rich kids love it, so fuck them poor kids now!



[Chorus] - 2X



I remember when the mainstream hated rap music

When James Brown samples was the new shit

I yelled BOX like Cool J on some Krush Groove shit

Dapper Dan shit, Ms. Pacman shit

That's when Rakim ran shit [Ran shit]

Before Sweet T was Sugar, before buddy piped a Jack Soopafly snooka

Before Biz Markie was busy pickin boogers

Super Lover Cee, L-y-t-e, Chill Rob G

Graffiti vandals, Jimmy Packer sex scandals

Videos, Ralph MacDaniels

Back when we didn't have the papered samples

Beasties, Chuck D, Busy Bee got ate up ? battle Kool Moe Dee

Chubb Rock hit the Grammys, Hitman Howie Tee, Doug E. Fresh, Chill Will, Barry B

BDP, Eazy E, PRT, Lakim Shabazz, Jaz, Jay-Z, Tragedy, QB



[Chorus] - 2X



Markie Fresh, The Mack of Rap, now the Fat Boys are back

X-Clan, ZOOM, pro black, Mr. Bozack

Where the hoes at, I' ma go back

Before we had show DATs, no gats, no plaques

Happy Days, Fonzie and Posse

Bomb Squad, Hank Shocklee and Keith Shocklee

Ditc, Kool Keith, Ced Gee

Busy Boys, Realski

Milk D, Positive K, First Priority Posse

8th grade, parents on vacation, house makin plans

Spin the battle in the basement, fuck ?

Misbehavein, shootin pelletguns at Dunkin Donuts

Make the police go nuts

Used their nice sticks to chock us

Old School, do stay true, Rock Stedy Crew, Zulu

Cash Money, Marvellous, Funkmaster Flex

?, Kool G, Shante, Glamorous

Fresh Prince, Jazzy Jeff



[Chorus] - 2X



Simphony and Simphony 2

Main Source Live at the Barbeque

Nas and Akinyele debut

EZ Ice, Soulman

Def Squad, Hit Squad

2 Live Crew videos used to keep my dick hard (OINK!)

Salt 'n Pepa ?, Potholes and Plug Tunin

Russell Simmons and Rick Rubin

Shut' em down, Pete Rock producin

Just-Ice, Latoya

We had Marvin Hagler, fuck Oscar De La Hoya

Doin' it, doin' it too much

6th grade, I ate my first pussy

In the back of the school bus (Fadin' into the chorus)



[Chorus] - 2X
