The Genesis Lyrics

The Genesis lyrics

*sound of a subway train going overhead*

 *in the background, Nas' verse from Main Source "Live at the BBQ" is heard*

 *excerpt of verse is as follows*

 

         (Street's disciple, my raps are trifle

          I shoot slugs from my brain just like a rifle

          Stampede the stage, I leave the microphone split

          Play Mr. Tuffy while I'm on some Pretty Tone shit

          Verbal assassin, my architect pleases

          When I was twelve, I went to ... )

 

 *conversation heard over this before Wild Style music kicks in is as
follows*

 *(dialogue from the film between ZORO and his infantryman brother, Hector)*

 

 Hector:  And you're sitting at home doing this shit? I should be earning a

   medal for this. Stop fucking around and be a man, there ain't nothing out

   here for you...

 

 ZORO:    Oh yes there is...this!
