Strong Island - Album Version (Explicit)歌词
作词 : Barrier, Griffin
[Rakim] One two..
Yeah.. uhh.. yeah.. "Rough enough to break New York from Long Island" ->
My Melody
Yeah it's the
God baby..
Long Island's own.. barbarian of the microphone.. "Rough enough to break New York from Long Island" ->
My Melody
It's for y'all ******
And the streets just a couple of miles
East of Mecca
Where peeps touch nuttin but style heat and cheddar
Compete witcha livelihood to eat better
And ain't nuttin sweet but the ladies who speak wetta
With a torn smile, tryin to get my song on file
It's on now, the whole town done gone wild
Kick rhymes off my heartbeat as a unborn child
Then developed a strong style on
Long Isle
Won't be long now,
I started rhymin young
I designed for fun, knowin my time would come
I started, payin dues
DJin with crews
Learnin the inner city rules, conveyin the news
Soon as the jam start the man's art'll jam parks
Slam so hard it remains a landmark
The rhyme that
I'm stylin, smooth as a violin but "Rough enough to break New York from Long Island" ->
My Melody {*
DJ cuts and scratches "Rough enough to break New York from Long Island"*}
Like any G.
O.D., loose on a spree for new degrees
Things to do and see until nuttin is new to me
A true MC usually be into a breeze
And I can still see
New York City through the trees
My advance slams put you outside lookin in or the other way around, that depends, look again
Took a pen so you could zero in on my book of gems
It extends from the
Hamptons to
Brook-lyn
Through every hoodie in town, to learn the
Boogie Down til every
DJ around, wanted to put me down
Rhymes got rougher til
I was ready to blast off and harass all from
Suffolk County to
Nassau where we keep the money pilin, keep the honies smilin
Keep the heater just in case kids start whylin
The rhyme that
I'm stylin, smooth as a violin "Rough enough to break New York from Long Island" ->
My Melody {*
DJ cuts and scratches "Rough enough to break New York from Long Island"*} {*

Grew up in
Wyndanch, formerly known as
Crime-Danch
Me and my mans we travel lands to find jams where violence usually ends in sirens
By all means, we all fiend for finance
We make cash on the street called straight path
We take class, build with the
Gods with great math
Everyday true to the street, and never fronted
Along the way, learned from the best that ever done it
Bein exposed to life's highs and lows
Got my flows ready for shows,
I'm ready for the pros
I put it on a tape and then the city
I tested Then on the radio the
R's requested
Now the whole world's whylin, all the girls smilin
You know, it's on, soon as they let the crowd in
The rhyme that
I'm stylin, smooth as a violin "Rough enough to break New York from Long Island" ->
My Melody
