Herc's Message

featuring DJ Kool Herc

Yes indeed y'all, this is DJ Kool Herc

Once again, comin at cha

Lettin you know it's a great inspiration right now goin through me

Bein on the wax right now

What we gotta do out there is big up ourself

Lift up ourself

Don't kick another man down, you know, help somebody up

It's hip to be square

Stop gettin locked down, y'know

Forget about the forty and the fuckin blunts

You can't see straight if you got them things in you

Don't need no guns, we could build our neighborhood

And keep it, y'know

Forget about the drugs, it ain't goin that way no more

Gotta wake up, it's a helluva road goin down that way, y'know

Kids if ya see ya doin it, won't respect you

What can you tell em, can you teach em

More than you bein example

Of what the horrors you're gonna come into, when you do it

And once again, hip-hop, black gold ghetto stable ours

People over there, in England, our UK brothers

I like that sound y'all put down a lot

But hip-hop is worldwide now

And those who knockin it, keep on knockin it

Cause you gonna think about us, but we not thinkin about you

That's good enough for me, rock on New York City

DJ Kool Herc, the Godfather of hip-hop

I'm outta here...
