Paroles
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
I always thought to myself «Damn, why they fucked it up?»
But never the less I was in love with the microphone
And it stayed that way until I left home
On the streets of New York, now I’m free
But with freedom comes big responsibility
I used to walk around driven by the force
I remember how large Super Rhymes was when he fell off
I used to wonder about crews that used to rock
They were large, but none of them could manage to stay on top
Do you ever think about when you outta here?
Record deal and video outta here?
Mercedes Benz and Range Rover outta here?
No doubt BDP is old school, but we ain’t goin' out
After livin' on the streets alone
Some years went by, I signed myself into a group home
I used to watch the show «I Dream of Jeannie»
And dreamt about «When will I be large like Whodini?»
But I was messin' with graffiti on the subway
And gettin' chased by the cops almost everyday
I knew it had to bea better way see
So I would go to my room, blast Run DMC
Around 1984 I left the group home, again alone
Still dreamin' about the microphone
Gimme a chance man, I know I can rock it But I had to worry about puttin' money in my pocket
So when I reached the shelter I met my helper DJ Scott La Rock
And we both loved hip-hop
I was takin' suckas out in the shelter system
Yeah there was rappers in the shelter but I had to diss 'em
But all along, my vision was never lost
I kept seeing all these rap groups fallin' off
Do you ever think about when you’re outta here?
Fly girl and fresh gear outta here?
Five-thousand dollar love seat outta here?
No doubt BDP is old school, but we ain’t goin' out
While I’m battling these rival crews
Yes, BDP would stay in the street news
Some said all they wanna do is battle
They can’t write a song, so their careers won’t last long
Around this time I used to hang with Ced Gee
And DJ Scott La Rock used to buy gold with Eric B I didn’t meet Rakim till later with Scott
I remember we were jammin' at the rooftop
It used to irk me when these critics had opinions
Scott would say «Just keep rappin', I’ll keep spinnin'»
We had a fucked up contract, but we signed it And dropped the hip-hop album Criminal Minded
We told the critics your opinions are bull
Same time Eric B and Rakim dropped Paid in Full
Hip-hop pioneers we didn’t ask to be But right then hip-hop changed drastically
People didn’t wanna hear the old rap sound
We started samplin' beats by James Brown
In the middle of doin' My Philosophy
Scott was killed and that shit got to me But knowin' the laws of life and death
I knew his breath, was one with my breath
I had nothin' left and it was scary
So I dropped By All Means Necessary
Another hip-hop group that was a friend of me Was a revolution crew called Public Enemy
It Takes A Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back
These two albums set off consciousness in rap
But all along, I’m still lookin' around
And all I can see are these rap groups fallin' down
Do you ever think about when you outta here?
Condominium and beach house outta here?
Credit cards and bank accounts outta here?
No doubt BDP is old school, be we ain’t goin' out
Traduction des paroles
Le BDP, c'est de la vieille école, mais on ne sort pas
Pendant que je me bats contre ces équipages rivaux
Oui, BDP resterait dans les nouvelles de la rue
Certains ont dit qu'ils ne voulaient que se battre
Ils ne peuvent pas écrire une chanson, donc leur carrière ne durera pas longtemps
À cette époque je traînais avec Ced Gee
Et DJ Scott La Rock avait l'habitude d'acheter de L'or avec Eric B Je n'ai rencontré Rakim que plus tard avec Scott
Je me souviens que nous avons été jammin' sur le toit
Ça m'irritait quand ces critiques avaient des opinions
Scott disait: "continuez à rapper, je vais continuer à tourner»
Nous avions un contrat merdique, mais nous l'avons signé et laissé tomber L'album de hip-hop Criminal Minded
Nous avons dit aux critiques vos opinions sont bull
En même temps Eric B et Rakim ont chuté payé en totalité
Pionniers du Hip-hop nous n'avons pas demandé à être, mais à droite puis le hip-hop a radicalement changé
Les gens ne voulaient pas entendre le vieux rap
Nous avons commencé samplin ' beats par James Brown
Dans le milieu de doin' Ma Philosophie
Scott a été tué et cette merde m'a touché, mais je connais les lois de la vie et de la mort
Je connaissais son souffle, Je ne faisais qu'un avec mon souffle
J'ai eu nothin' à gauche et c'était effrayant
Donc j'ai laissé tomber par tous les moyens nécessaires
Un autre groupe de hip-hop qui était un ami de moi était un crew revolution appelé Public Enemy
Il faut une Nation de Millions pour nous retenir
Ces deux albums ont déclenché la conscience dans le rap
Mais depuis le début, je cherche toujours
Et tout ce que je peux voir, c'est que ces groupes de rap tombent
Tu ne penses jamais à quand tu sors d'ici?
Condominium et maison de plage dehors?
Cartes de crédit et comptes bancaires d'ici?
Sans doute que le BDP est de la vieille école, on ne sort pas
