Where It All Started

[Intro: New Edition]
Other people imitate
And try their best to recreate
This is where it all started from
So they only perpetrate
But they can never duplicate
This is where it all started from

[Verse 1: DeQuarius Slaton + (Nikko Arnold)]
The beginning of a dream
Where our ideas were born
Tell 'em, Nikko
(To understand what this really means)
Let's set the record straight once and for all
I'll tell you 'cause... (yeah)

[Chorus 1: (DeQuarius Slaton) + Ace Edition]
Other people imitate
And try their best to recreate
This is where it all started from, (aaow)
So they only perpetrate
But they can never duplicate
This is where it all started from, (girl, yeah)

[Verse 2]
(DeQuarius: We made a band since 2018, yeah)
(Nikko: I don’t know what you talking about)
(KeVaris: Me and DeQuarius were bff since 2 yrs ago)
(Jamecia & Jada: Yeah, boy)
(DeQuarius: Where it all started from, girl)

[Chorus 2: (Nikko Arnold) + Ace Edition]
To stay the best among the rest
We work to keep our movements fresh
This is where it all started from
(Yo, listen up! Uh!)
Instead of being clones (Why don't ya...)
Think of something on your own
This is where it all started from

(Now there's one more thing we think you should know)
Don't be a victim to the wannabe
This is where it all started from
(We cool, girl)
'Cause no other's ever gonna be (like us)
This is where it all started from
(Take that)

(Mr. Telephone Man)
(There's something wrong with my line)
(When I dial my baby's number)
(I get a click every time)
(Mr. Telephone Man)
(There's something wrong with my line)
(When I dial my baby's number)
(I get a click every time), yeah, girl

[Chorus 3: (DeQuarius Slaton) + Ace Edition & Jamecia Walker & (DeQuarius)]
Other people imitate
And try their best to recreate
This is where it all started from, (aaow)
So they only perpetrate
But they can never duplicate
This is where it all started from, (girl, yeah)

To stay the best among the rest
We work to keep our movements fresh
This is where it all started from, (any where, girl)
(Yo, listen up! Uh!)
Instead of being clones (Why don't ya...)
Think of something on your own
This is where it all started from (I’m Ace Edition member, girl, yeah)

Yo, wait a minute! Hold up! Wait! Stop! Wait a minute! Pause! You didn't know we was coming back like this on 'em, my brother!, (Aaow, yeah)
