Dedication To Bambaataa Lyrics by Justice System

Sounds of the Rooftop

0

[Verse 1]
Never stop the funk flowing from New York
'Cause I'm a native, bred and born
And I'd like to talk about the MC battles
And all the old school crews
Kick a rhyme with my boys when they drinking 40 brews
Hip Hop is the medicine to sooth my brain
An imitation MC causes lots of pain
A good Dj can make my day
But with the microphone, I'd like to say
Get the stand steady now you already understand
'Cause we got the master plan and I'ma kick it if I can
Yes, yes y'all, we can do this all night long
'Cause the vocals is strong and the rhyme goes on
My style has pauses, I fight for causes
I don't bare no sins, just wins, no losses
Of course a [?] got the power of a [?]
Getting paper from a show so yo, I'm heading to the bank
[?]
I used to bless the Buddha and my rhymes were always stronger
And I started to sell [?] on the ultimate route
When the girl isn't cute and want to knock boots
[?] it don't matter 'cause I can still scatter
And I got more hats than the man Jimmy [?]
Chumps, chimps, chatter, my brain is filled with data
Soul beats are phat but [?] are phatter
Give us our praise, I think we gotta
Take all the praise and dedicate it to Bambaataa
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
Infiltrators on your station with a ghetto quotations
[?] the rap equations getting heavy rotation
Patiently await my turn to tell the tale of my nation
And thus far, I'm giving props to the Zulu foundation
Listen blessing of the souls from times long past
Of b-boys in the parks rocking parties after dark
Spark the long term memory cell
Histroy [?] 'cause the Greek had multiple gods
But never cite that as a curb with the world of peace
My key to transform against criminal minded mentality
Unity through the music scene
[?] to the [?] busting rhymes with affinity
No need for a shame, boy [?]
Bass pumping from the speakers will make your nut juggle
At the P-A-L, bell bottoms and durags
[?] up on Jerome Av
The Herculoids with Cool D on the set
[?] in his Puma sweats
The nigga, [?] uptown wilding
Brooklyn in the house, profiling and styling
The break beat music room at the rooftop
In the Converse hi tops doing the buster
The roots of the culture running in the groove
As the one and Eddie Cheeba was show and proof
The code of honour established on the streets
Respecting fly rhymes and dope-ass beats
So now you give us the props
I think you gotta take all the praise and dedicate it to Bambaataa
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Here we go...
Well, bring all the competition and get the critics
Jahbaz is kicking the heavy jazz for all the heritage
Afrika Bambaataa was creator of the style
Back in the 70s he got buckwild
Kool Herc went to work, sound systems went berserk
Kool Keith wasn't there so down with Dj [?]
Grand Master Flash, Islamic Kaz
Pioneers for our ears didn't clock the cash
Hip Hop as a art back then was starving
[?] tag when the kids went rhyming
So I say respects to Compton
'Cause the Cali funk was funking while New York rap was rap rocking
Oakland had disco and I was rocking Sugar Hill
Sucker [?] got jacked when they stepped on [?]
I remember going to Yankee standium
Walking with my dad [?] in the radio
We went from Forder road down to Hunts point
I had a Funky 4 jam called... (It's the joint!)
Diamond Z, Busy B, The Cold Crush Brothers
The Treacherous Three, Spoonie Gee and many others
Like Kurtis Blow and his son, Dj Run
They used battle Dj Hollywood just for fun
I gotta go play [?]
Just to bump the old tapes and my man Bambaataa
