lirik lagu pioneers – the zyg 808

[intro]
in the words of curtis blow
up in the bronx where the people are fresh
was born a funky drummer who had to pass a test
now he’s on the mic live as can be what’s
good y’all i’m the zyg!

[chorus]
kidd creole was the first to say yes yes y’all
the days before curtis blow was fresh fresh y’all
been bumping rakim since i was small
mad love to the pioneers
grand wizard theodore invented the scratch
mc whipper whip had the lyrics to match
little did they know a new culture would hatch
mad love to the pioneers

[verse 1]
the mashpee wampanoags that i represent
can quote the 120 of the 5%
here’s an oral tradition
something you didn’t invent
and the fraudulent rap lyrics that you present
delousional
if you think your good
maybe you should stop re rolling backwoods
that’s all a fantasy
you can say what you want
but just like hip hop
i was born in the bronx
and just like dj aj i can pass the test
because 1520 sedgwick was where i was blessed
all you mc’s talkin’ ’bout the checks you cash
tell me what you know about grandmaster flash
alot of you mcs remain in the dark
about how the cold crush brothers got live in the park
shoutouts to the elders who put in mad work
mad love and respect to my elder kool herc
[chorus]
kidd creole was the first to say yes yes y’all
the days before curtis blow was fresh fresh y’all
been bumping rakim since i was small
mad love to the pioneers
grand wizard theodore invented the scratch
mc whipper whip had the lyrics to match
little did they know a new culture would hatch
mad love to the pioneers

[verse 2]
zulu nation parties at the bronx river projects
77 blackout made equipment found objects
to reference the history is my intention
run dmc, bdp not to mention
the soul sonic force, treturous 3, and juice crew
all indicate that their style isn’t new
eric b and rock kim native tounges and dj jazzy j
laid the style we all play
looking for the new sound and wonderin’ what’s next?
put your drum machine away and start beating on your desk
dont ask why you should be solving for x
confused?
allow me to lay the culture all in context
hip hop grew out of absence and filling sp*ce
with the bap of the snare and the boom of the bass
you don’t know you’re history but think you’re gonna flip it
you’re mad wack on a mic but you swear that you ripped it
[chorus]
kidd creole was the first to say yes yes y’all
the days before curtis blow was fresh fresh y’all
been bumping rakim since i was small
mad love to the pioneers
grand wizard theodore invented the scratch
mc whipper whip had the lyrics to match
little did they know a new culture would hatch
mad love to the pioneers

[verse 3]
1900s bert williams got poetic on a track;
then the harlem renaissance put traditions on the map
mckay, hurston, hughes, bennett, cullen, toomer and fauset
are names that none of us should forget
and
a scratchy old record that the elders loved by pigmeat mark*m
called here comes the judge
city streets created poets who spoke the blues
through neatly phrased rhymes they delivered the news
jazz poets phrasing was as smooth as a cat
and rudy ray moore… what you know about that
said gil scott heron, the revolution won’t be televised;
nikki giovanni can bring tears to your eyes.,
the last poets, introduced beats and poetry in the park
watts prophets created verses from rage in the streets
hip*hop didn’t just happen, it’s part of a continuum
from the griots, toasters, speakers is where it came from
[chorus]
kidd creole was the first to say yes yes y’all
the days before curtis blow was fresh fresh y’all
been bumping rakim since i was small
mad love to the pioneers
grand wizard theodore invented the scratch
mc whipper whip had the lyrics to match
little did they know a new culture would hatch
mad love to the pioneers

[verse 4]
knowledge dwells in quiet observation
understanding comes with direct partic*p*tion
on the microphone i’m right at home
phrasing my lines like a vibrophone
music became the weapon of choice
when all the gang bangers started using their voice
brothers started kicking the verse that we like
when they laid down their zipguns and picked up the mic
cowboy controlled the crowd incredibly
and mcing got redefined by my elder bizzy b
the stories i tell are all very real
cause my mc traditions trace back to the griots
follow my story and you’ll know the deal
dropping knowledge on street corners has an appeal
check your ego at the door stop fronting for your peers
because your game is wack if you don’t know your pioneers

[chorus]
kidd creole was the first to say yes yes y’all
the days before curtis blow was fresh fresh y’all
been bumping rakim since i was small
mad love to the pioneers
grand wizard theodore invented the scratch
mc whipper whip had the lyrics to match
little did they know a new culture would hatch
mad love to the pioneers
