[KRS] {"I'm bout to hit you with that traditional style of cold rockin"} [Pumpkinhead] Welcome aboard the Underground Railroad, I'm your captain I'm gonna explain the reason why I keep on rappin Why I keep on movin, doin shows in Manhattan Knowin in my heart, that I'll probably never go platinum See it's for the love, music is in my protoplasm I can only wish but I don't have a genie and my name's not Aladdin Fasten your seatbelts, we're takin off soon I'm gonna rock rock on, on a rocket to the moon Start a label up there, sign an alien rappin clique Sell a million units, and get paid in amethyst Cause on this planet, reality doesn't exist You'd rather sell souls than to sign some real shit But I refuse to put it in park so I'm shiftin the gears Even though time flies, I'm 28 in years That's about 10 thousand and 2200 months Spittin heat for ten years and haven't been signed once How I'm 'sposed to blow up, when independent labels front Don't pay up, don't promote, your record label sucks You got MC's out there that deserve to get put on So for them, I'm gonna rock rock rock on Supernat (rock rock rock on) And The Plague (rock rock rock on) Stronghold (rock rock rock on) Red Clay (rock rock rock on) Juggaknots (rock rock rock on) M-Pire (rock rock rock on) All of y'all (rock rock rock on) N.Y. (rock rock rock on) [Pumpkinhead] At first, I wanted to paint, so I went to art school Then I saw heads rappin, bangin on tables in the lunchroom In a cypher, they were playin some hot beats And these heads rappin was C-Rayz Walz and Mobb Deep Yeah - I went to school with them dudes And they dropped out, and eventually I did too I formed a crew with a group named Doom, they call 'em Hydra now And they even sound liver now So me and Blitzkrieg, now we got Park Slope on lock That's when I battled, this Puerto Rican cat named Block And we battled, he beat me, I was impressed with his flow He saw potential, so we broke bread and smoked 'dro This ain't fake, trust me this is a real tale Block had a group called Zooty Zoo and introduced me to Will Tell We did a track with Medaphoar and shit clicked rapidly Then Block said let's form the Brooklyn Academy So we did, kids flipped, they loved our songs We were like Pink Floyd, Run-D.M.C. and Cheech & Chong Then Black Panther Marco Polo came along So now we gon' rock rock rock rock on Jean Grae (rock rock rock on) E.L.W.
