[Intro] (Keyboard riff) [Verse 1] In the city where the streets are talkin' Every corner has a story to tell From the ghettos to the projects We rise up, our voices, they sell [Verse 2] The beat is the pulse, the rhythm's the heart Every line's a piece of our soul on the chart From the Bronx to Brooklyn, we spread the word The boom bap sound, it's heard [Chorus] East Coast, where the realness reside Every rhyme a reflection of our stride In the essence of the old school, we keep it alive Boom bap, forever in our prime [Outro] (Scratch and fade out)
