The Bridge (Bladerunners Dub)-MC Shan

The Bridge (Bladerunners Dub) - MC Shan You love to hear the story, again and again Of how it all got started way back when The monument is right in your face Sit and listen for a while to the name of the place "The Bridge" "Queensbridge" Hip hop was set out in the dark They used to do it out in the park Every place they said his name it rang an alarm Otherwise known as Mean Teen Tom A brother who's known for his rap Jabby Jack, Larry Lah, third least not last A cool brother by the name of Gas Face Brothers made you get loose They was down with the brother called Cousin Bruce They used to jam in the center You had to pay so you could enter Go to the door, get frisked Just in order to get in And if you wasn't from this town Then you couldn't fight and win But everytime they had a jam They couldn't get no peace So that's why the jams out there In the parks, they had to cease Cause you was in "The Bridge" "Queensbridge" Dimples D, the girl, she was great Her and Marley Marl went and cut a plate They used to rock it out in the place And the title of it was 'Sucker DJ's' And then he strolled along one day And then he walked into a girl named Shante Third in line, you know it's me MC Shan, ha ha, in the place to be MC Man, he made them beg He is the man who is known as Craig The newest member out to get loose Now he is down with us and he got the Juice This is the place where stars are born And we are the only ones that can't be worn Out by any place, any part of the world And while I'm out on tour keep your hand off my girl While she's in "The Bridge" "Queensbridge" Dead dreams, bought and sold You gotta try and receive your goal However you do it, however you may Don't ever listen to what nobody say Cause I will tell you the deal You gotta go by what your heart feel Cause if you don't, you'll be misled By stupid little things put inside your head By someone else that you will see They're trying to lead your destiny Grab hold of your heavy chain Which people always pull and always trying to restrain You heard just what I said They're always pulling you back when you wanna get ahead They pull you back cause they're not with it You talk about school, they talk about 'quit it' Soon you'll see that time does fly But you spent most of it out gettin high Thought about it, much, much later Could've went to school and been much greater But you chose to lead that fate Now you're sucking on a bone when it should've been steak The whole purpose of the story I told Was mainly to inspire you to reach your goal Stop walking through life as if you were blind You should reach for your goal cause I'm reaching for mine And I'm from "The Bridge" "Queensbridge"
