Attendance Lyrics

Attendance lyrics

Who was, who was, who was

Who was the first to flash the heat on the cover?

Who was the first crew to go against another?

Who was the first to go Acapella on a video replay?

Who was the first to lose a DJ?

Who was the first to teach at Yale?

Who was the first to hit that hip-hop reggae on the nail?

Who was the first to say, '€œStop the violence

And teach that real bad boys move in silence"?



You're soon to see the mind bendin' rhyme weapon

Get more busy than two-two-three-double-nine-seven

All these rappers, swear they the best

I know whatchu thinkin' about, where's KRS?

Eighty percent of these rappers fake they shit

The other twenty percent they goin' upstate and shit

There's no way out except knowledge and wisdom

I got it so I spit 'em you ain't got it you gotta get 'em



Who was the first to produce mix and write

At the same time up in the club rockin' the mic?

Who was the first to have a DJ and a side man?

The first to say, '€œWhat is hip-hop?'€?, I am

Who was the first to produce gangster shit?

Put out, gangster hits with a gangster click?



Not no prankster shit, Steady B, Mad Lion

Just-Ice, Shabba Ranks and shit

My Channel is Live, my only battle is Jive

MC to MC, you won't survive

You'll be censored 'cause my Crew is 2 Live

I ascend like Christ and watch you die



Breakers, MC's, writers, beat-boxers

DJ's, hip-hop, hip-hop

Breakers, MC's, writers, beat-boxers

DJ's, hip-hop, hip-hop



I'm like Noah, I'm takin' 'em, two by two

I took, them and them and I'll take, you and you

Be I'm right or be I'm wrong, you'll see I'm tight with this mic

You should be like, "B I'm gone", but you still in my face Neo

I'm not your girl all that ice and thug life, that's not my world

I'm the teacher but you still can't see



'Cause while you respect Tupac, Tupac respected me

Another thing, don't ever show me another ring

Remember you Rudy Ray Moore, I'm Martin Luther King

Everything you bring sounds horrendous

You need repentance 'fore I take attendance



Breakers, MC's, writers, beat-boxers

DJ's, hip-hop, hip-hop

Breakers, MC's, writers, beat-boxers

DJ's, hip-hop, hip-hop



Breakers, MC's, writers, beat-boxers

DJ's, hip-hop, hip-hop

Breakers, MC's, writers, beat-boxers

DJ's, hip-hop, hip-hop
