Verse One:
Back in the days I knew rap would never die
I used to listen to Awesome 2 on WHBI
I used to hear all kind of rap groups before sampling loops
Rappers wore bell bottom Lee suits
Me and Kenny couldn’t afford that
So we would go to the park when they was jammin’ to hear rap
I used to listen till the cops broke it up
