This one is for the greats, we appreciate you....

Together we were born in the early 80s, then it was the norm we were worthy babies
The ladies loved Cool James Smith with a new hot spliff, William Griffin , Eric B, G.Rap and DJ Polo
Made it their own, eventually they went solo, it was change from Disco they were waiting for so long
Who said its like that to these sucka MCS, who was the posse in the west flossing making Gs
Cold chillin with the Kings of the New York, yes indeed - they ran New York
Run DMC, NDub A at work and play but had fun doing along the way
The 80s was Rap in its prime never frettin'to rhyme, did it battle cats break dancers in line
Honeys was fine, matured like wine - hoping one day that I would make you mine

Hip Hop my one and only with me when I was down with me when I was lonely stayed true I'm not a phony, my love not my mistress, wack MCs they distress, everyday I pray the God Bless

Doggystyle in 93 at only 11, had me rapping along - loving a song like Lodi Dodi
We like to party, we didn't cause trouble we didn't bother nobody
Was a west coast freak - 96/97, relapsed started to listen to Jodeci
I was simply trying to get the girls to notice me - I know this see
But still you stayed to grow with me, that Dogg food had me bugging Pac had me thuggin
Videos visualised, had me mean muggin
Then the East west beef had me taking sides, saw the death of many rappers what followed was cries
Started to make rap tapes to share with my friends, others was loving now and following trends
We stayed together just to make amends in perfect unity, still you stayed true to me

Hip Hop my one and only with me when I was down with me when I was lonely stayed true I'm not a phony, my love not my mistress, wack MCs they distress, everyday I pray the God Bless
