“I represent ‘The Bridge Is Over,’ ‘Eric B. For President’”
“Getting ‘Raw,’ ‘Rocking Bells,’ and ‘Raising Hell’” (No doubt)
“I represent ‘The Bridge Is Over,’ ‘Eric B. For President’”
“Getting ‘Raw,’ ‘Rocking Bells,’ and ‘Raising Hell’” (Old school, new school need to learn though)
“I represent ‘The Bridge Is Over,’ ‘Eric B. For President’” (Uh!)
“Getting ‘Raw,’ ‘Rocking Bells,’ and ‘Raising Hell’” (No doubt)
“I represent ‘The Bridge Is Over,’ ‘Eric B. For Prеsident’”
“Getting ‘Raw,’ ‘Rocking Bells,’ and ‘Raising Hеll’” (Old school, new school need to learn)

[Verse 1: Ran Reed]
Now buckle up
Boys and girls. I’m ‘bout to take you there
Mr. Magic’s on the air, and it’s a world premiere. Some wack
Nigga grabbed the mic, and he just got ditched
And nobody never ever used to fuck with Kris. I had
South Bronx banging in my big boombox, I had to
Take off my Nikes and my Nike socks. See, yo, kid
I brings it back to the olden days ‘cause, back then
They kept it real, them was the golden days. Real
Niggas kicking flavor and they got to the point. Ain’t nothing like
Reminiscing to an old-school joint. See, that
Nigga Kool G Rap? He was a badass, bro, and Rakim
Was “Moving Crowds” with the fat-ass flow. Indeed
Them brothers was ripping. Me? I started flipping ‘round the time
When Ultramag’ was “Ego Trippin’,” my man Just-Ice
Was giving ass-whoopings with DMX
A time when brothers didn’t have to talk about TECs
Big respects to those that was keeping it live
Beat Street, Melle Mel and the Furious Five
I’ve arrived to give you what you all been missing:
True hip hop, where heads can relate as well as listen
So listen

[Verse 2: Ran Reed]
I wanna hear
Some “Holy War” by my man Sir Ibu
Respects due to the Audio Two, the whole entire
Juice Crew, no doubt, was doing their thing. Since “Sucker
M.C.’s,” I always been down with the King. Nice & Smooth
Taught me ‘bout the “Skill Trade,” Special Ed
“Had It Made,” Dana Dane was afraid, having
“Nightmares” about some chick named Anita
Phife, Q-Tip, Shaheed, Jairobi trying to push up
On “Bonita,” Busta Rhymes was a Leader
And just when you thought music couldn’t get no sweeter
Here comes The Ruler. By far, no one was cooler
And when it came to “Teenage Love,” he was the schooler
Joe Ski did the “Pee-Wee Herman,” always taking
Care of Business was Parrish Smith and Erick Sermon
I brings it way back where them niggas used to kick that
Real rugged shit—ayyo, kid, I won’t forget that

[Verse 3: Ran Reed]
Chubb Rock
Had me “Caught Up.” I give support up to all the
Pioneers I heard while I was being brought up. JVC
Force putting it down for Strong Island
Biz Mark’ was wilding, but, shit, he kept the people
Smiling. Moe Dee went to “See the Doctor”
Doug E. Fresh, “Greatest Entertainer” bound to rock ya
Queen Latifah, Sweet Tee, Jazzy Joyce was
The choice, a brand-new voice in this hip hop
Community. Afrika Bambaataa talking ‘bout peace
And unity. If we don’t listen, then this rap shit
Is soon to be over. Can’t forget Super Lover Cee
And Casanova “Doing the James.” There’s mad names
Mad artists never worrying about
Who was the hardest. Some are still here, most of ‘em
Had to part us. Whether you’re around or above
I’m guaranteed to represent you on the love-love
