Non Phixion - The Freshfest lyrics

rate me

[Verse One]

It was a time when life when was mad simple (SO SIMPLE)

Me and my people listened to records and used to rock rhymes all day

We didn't pay rent, moms had that, monkey on her back

My main concern back then, was kickin funky rap

And fantasizin bout bein signed to Def Jam

Around that time 3rd Bass got dissed by X-Clan

It was a crazy time in hip-hop

"Follow the Leader" was my shit back then, and got crazy props

[Verse Two]

Coca-Cola, rugbies and Benettons; the adore of tongues

Graf flicks, summer cookouts in the project halls

Smoky lungs, off to the jam in the park

Where only real MC's performed and were the ones who had heart

Havin cyphers at gunpoint, b-boppin see you in Hunt's Point

Cowboy stee', leather vest at one point

So real it is I never thought I'd even make it this far

So real it is I never thought I'd even make it this far

[Chorus: x2]

MC's, you know what we talkin about

DJ's, y'all know what we talkin about

Write graffiti on the train, do your thing, no doubt

B-Boys and B-Girls, turn the party out

[Verse Three]

When Red Alert was bangin it on KISS

I made my first demo tape, no better yet I made my first hit

At least I thought it was at the time

Today I think I'm just as nice as all the cats that made me wanna rhyme

It was Kangol, Doc Ice, U.T.F.O.

Roxanne rivalry, I heard it on the radio

[Verse Four]

The Show" was Doug Fresh, the Bronx was at they best

While Rockmaster Scott blew up the live request

Spraypaint was toxic, Shinehead was with the rosters

Days was spent lookin for refridgerator boxes

Battlin MC's in front of Marlboro Houses

Packin razor blades inside my kangaroo pouches

[Verse Five]

EPMD and, Run-D.M.C. and

Public Enemy was at the Nausau Coliseum

You shoulda seen 'em, sold out crowds and bright lights

Party people in the place with only one or two fights

I remember how I felt when Scott LaRock got shot

I was there when Greg Nice would beatbox for T-La Rock

And Slick Rick was rockin jewels I never seen before

Non Phixion, you can catch us on the Freshfest Tour!

[Chorus]
