Non Phixion - The Freshfest lyrics

It was a time when life when was mad simple
(SO SIMPLE)
Me and my people listened to records and
Used to rock rhymes all day
We didn't pay rent, moms had that
Monkey on her back
My main concern back then
Was kickin funky rap
And fantasizin bout bein signed to Def Jam
Around that time 3rd Bass
Got dissed by X-Clan
It was a crazy time in Hip-Hop
"Follow the Leader" was my shit back then
And got crazy props

Coca-Cola, rugbies and Benettons
Diadora tongues graf flicks
Summer cookouts in the project halls
Smoky lungs, off to the jam in the park
Where only real MC's performed and were
The ones who had heart
Havin cyphers at gunpoint
B-boppin see you in Hunt's Point
Cowboy stee', leather vest at one point
So real it is I never thought
I'd even make it this far
So real it is I never thought
I'd even make it this far

MC's, you know what we talkin about
DJ's, y'all know what we talkin about
Write graffiti on the train, do your thing
No doubt
B-Boys and B-Girls, turn the party out
MC's, you know what we talkin about
DJ's, y'all know what we talkin about
Write graffiti on the train, do your thing
No doubt
B-Boys and B-Girls, turn the party out

When Red Alert was bangin it on KISS
I made my first demo tape
No better yet I made my first hit
At least I thought it was at the time
Today I think I'm just as nice as all
The cats that made me wanna rhyme

It was Kangol, Doc Ice, UTFO
Roxanne rivalry, I heard it on the radio
The Show" was Doug Fresh
The Bronx was at they best
While Rockmaster Scott blew up
The live request spraypaint was toxic
Shinehead was with the rosters
Days was spent lookin for refrigerator boxes
Battlin MC's in front of Marlboro Houses
Packin razor blades inside
My kangaroo pouches ePMD and, Run-DMC and
Public Enemy was at the Nausau Coliseum
You shoulda seen 'em
Sold out crowds and bright lights
Party people in the place with
Only one or two fights
I remember how I felt when
Scott LaRock got shot
I was there when Greg Nice
Would beatbox for T-La Rock
And Slick Rick was rockin jewels
I never seen before non Phixion
You can catch us on the Freshfest Tour!

MC's, you know what we talkin about
DJ's, y'all know what we talkin about
Write graffiti on the train, do your thing
No doubt
B-Boys and B-Girls, turn the party out
