KRS-One - Outta Here

Back in the days I knew rap would never die
I used to listen to Awesome 2 on WHBI
I used to hear all kind of rap groups
Before sampling loops
Rappers wore bell bottom Lee suits

Me and Kenny couldn't afford that
So we would go to the park
When they was jammin' to hear rap
I used to listen till the cops broke it up

I always thought to myself
Damn, why they fucked it up?
But never the less I was in love with the microphone
And it stayed that way until I left home

On the streets of New York, now I'm free
But with freedom comes big responsibility
I used to walk around driven by the force
I remember how large Super Rhymes was when he fell off

I used to wonder about
Crews that used to rock
They were large, but none of them
Could manage to stay on top

Do you ever think about when you outta here?
Record deal and video outta here?
Mercedes Benz and Range Rover outta here?
No doubt BDP is old school, but we ain't goin' out

After livin' on the streets alone
Some years went by, I signed myself into a group home
I used to watch the show, "I Dream of Jeannie"
