- To you super listeners how you doing tonight?
All you fly guys and fly girls
Welcome once again to the world famous Mister Magic
Rap Attack and （unintelligible）
Way way back before the Hots and the Powers
We used to listen to live mixin for hours
Roxanne Shanté,U.T.F.O.
Mister Magic Rap Attack some of yall know
But I was in the shelter in weakness
Homeless, turntableless and microphoneless
Fresh gearless but still I was fearless
And focused on being the dopest MC alive
Its 85,LLs on Def Jam
With the best jam,And Whodinis on Jive
Man you know I had to survive
New York City was crazy in the 80s but damn it was live
So here comes the Juice Crew with MC Shan
Shantés already the queen,Marleys already the man
Yall dont really understand
When you throw on Shanté or Shan it got live in the jam
So we went to Mister Magic
If anybody had to power to put you on he had it
We gave up the demo tape no love lost
But it seems Mister Magic just brushed us off
Somehow we heard we were whack
Every track,and that we shouldnt even call back
Right there my jaw dropped, no doubt
But it made me see what I was all about
And Ill keep rising to the top while my mind go
Give it all you got, give it all you got
Ill keep rising to the top while my mind go
Give it all you got, give it all you got
Well keep rising to the top while my mind go
Give it all you got, give it all you got
Wellkeep rising to the top while my mind go
Give it all you got,give it all you got,give it all you got
In the spot new hip hop and Latin Quarters
And the Union Square and the rooftop
We used to hear them tunes pop in the parking lot
Where it got dark a lot me and Scott La Rock
But it was all for the hip hoppers
Salt-N-Pepa answered Doug E Fresh with The Show Stoppa
MC Shan was gonna challenge LL
Shanté was battling 3 or 4 groups at the same time what the hell
Answer records were big then
after Shanté did it,Everybody was trying to spit them
so we spit off
To tell you the truth it was the only way an MC could get on
We answered MC Shans Queensbridge
A dope jam about where he was from and where he lived
But in the Bronx there was these kids
KRS, Scott La Rock trying to live
And Ill keep rising to the top while my mind go
Give it all you got, give it all you got
Ill keep rising to the top while my mind go
Give it all you got, give it all you got
Well keep rising to the top while my mind go
Give it all you got , give it all you got
Well keep rising to the top while my mind go
Give it all you got,give it all you got,give it all you got
This it what an MC was,we had a strong street buzz
Marley and Shan showed us some love and love never hurt
Cause while Shan was with Marley we was with DJ Red Alert
Every Friday night,every Saturday night
On the airwaves the battle was right
Under New York nights, smog and lights
Jargon at night the Roxy used to get so hype
You could put on your headset
And get what heads didnt get yet
Live MCs going,'Check, check'
Spitin rhymes over the radio set
These are the days and the ways I can never forget
So I dont forget it to Marley and Shan I am indebted
For the start of my career these guys could take credit
For my rappin,the whole battle they let it all happen
Marley and Shan and Shanté could have been gun strapping
Cousin!But they wasnt and you know why?
Cause we was on some real hip hop lets keep it buzzing!
