The Bridge (Explicit)

You love to hear the story

Again and again

Of how it all got started way back when

The monument

Is right in your face

Sit and listen for a while to the name of the place

Hip hop

Was set out in the dark

They used to do it out in the park

Every place they said his name

It rang an alarm

Otherwise known as mean teen tom

A brother who's known for his rap

Jabby jack

Larry lah third least not last

A cool brother by the name of gas

Face brothers made you get loose

They was down with the brother called cousin bruce

They used to jam

In the center

You had to pay so you could enter

Go to the door get frisked

Just in order to get in

And if you wasn't from this town

Then you couldn't fight and win

But everytime they had a jam

They couldn't get no peace

So that's why the jams out there

In the parks they had to cease

'Cause you was in

Dimples d the girl

She was great

Her and marley marl went and cut a plate

They used to rock it out in the place

And the title of it was 'sucker dj's'

And then he strolled along one day

And then he walked into a girl named shante

Third in line you know it's me

Mc shan ha ha in the place to be

Mc man

He made them beg

He is the man who is known as craig

The newest member

Out to get loose

Now he is down with us and he got the juice

This is the place where stars are born

And we are the only ones that can't be worn

Out by any place any part of the world

And while I'm out on tour keep your hand off my girl

While she's in

Dead dreams

Bought and sold

You gotta try and receive your goal

However you do it however you may

Don't ever listen to what nobody say

'Cause I will tell you the deal

You gotta go by what your heart feel

'Cause if you don't you'll be misled

By stupid little things put inside your head

By someone else that you will see

They're trying to lead your destiny

Grab hold of your heavy chain

Which people always pull and always trying to restrain

You heard just what I said

They're always pulling you back when you wanna get ahead

They pull you back 'cause they're not with it

You talk about school they talk about 'quit it'

Soon you'll see that time does fly

But you spent most of it out gettin high

Thought about it

Much much later

Could've went to school and been much greater

But you chose to lead that fate

Now you're sucking on a bone when it should've been steak

The whole purpose of the story I told

Was mainly to inspire you to reach your goal

Stop walking through life as if you were blind

You should reach for your goal 'cause I'm reaching for mine

And I'm from
