Many, many moons ago
Jurassic 5
Began their quest
To put real hip hop on the radio
[Akil]
Now here's a little story that must be heard
About the brother with the word sounds so superb
It started way back with these emcees
Now here's a little something on the history
[Zaakir]
I'm a H-I-P H-O-P H-E-A-D, been since one-nine-eight-three
Are to the A-P-P-I-N
Eighty-four was the year I picked up the pen
At the same time breaking tryin' to come on in
But I was already in since way back when
One-nine-seven-five, the saga began
Are to the O-be
