Cookin'

Lyrics:

Im up until four in the morn playing Cds
Of 80's mcs who started out before I was born
In order to form and spark in my mouth inspiration in me
Waiting to see if my heart would come out
I honor the style hopefully my poppa would smile
He fathered a child who would grow to be the top of the pile
Copied the file and read all the history books
It's a mystery I look for what the industry took
Inequity cooked in the melting pot you felt its hot
Sweltering or not youre considerably shook
Misery shushed by ministry crooks its true
Look at you you've been pushed to move cooked in stew
Bronx and Brooklyn zoo manhatten staten and queens
Happened to be in the way of a plan for the cream
They built a bridge gentrified and marginalized
The hearts and the minds and a new culture stated to rise
To you a vulgar art in your eyes but fast forward
Im four and I never colored art in the lines
Tucked in bed at the night hour by dad and what he said to me
Fight the power and that introduced me to public enemy
Touched me heavily the rhythm resounded
My ticks pumped with the kick drum a vision was founded
Vivid and loud as the crowds at the shows over the years
I would go to and cheer when my heros would flow here
At 8 I was kicking the frees 9 I was writing
Consistently at sixteen I refined it with typing
My mind was like lightning but would inspiration strike
In the same place twice for now I wait for the night
And let the needle hit the grooves from the beatles to the blues
To kane, rakim, and g rap seeping in the stew
Cook the beat up with it dude put some beef up in it too
And if you even bit the stew I will eat a bit of you
