Radio

Many many moons ago

Jurassic 5

Began their quest

To put real hip hop
On the radio

Now here's a little story
That must be heard
About the brother with
The word sounds so superb
It started way back
With these emcees
Now here's a little somethin
On the history
I'm a H-I-P H-O-P H-E
A-D been since
One-nine-eight-three
R to the A-P-P-I-N
Eighty-four was the year
I picked up the pen
At the same time breakin
Tryin' to come on in
But I was already in
Since way back when
One-nine-seven-five
The saga began
R to the O-B-O-T-I-N
Eighty-one I was P-O-P-P-I-N

One-nine-eighty-two D-J-in
Eighty-three it was all
About Run-DMC man
A gangbanger taught me
How to break dance then
The same year I
Picked up the pen
And wrote my first rhyme
And got that feelin
And now I'm here in the
Flesh still **** still death
Tryin' to get my song
(rockin on the radio)
The summertime yo
We would hang out
And talk about the new
Jam that came out
And from the way
The beat was laid out
And all the emcees had
Turned the place out
And we would say
Our rhymes to the beat
Right but we never
Indulged in the street
Life and now we all good to go
J5 is rockin on the radio
Yo I was an inner-city
***** in my room I'd sit
Poppin off quick cause
I could sing a little bit
With my hi-top fade
And matchin outfits
But once the record hit
It's like listen to this
Hip hop is the reason
That a brother evolved
And I was so involved
I ain't gonna lie to none a y'all
By the time I started
Rhymin in the late eighties
The drugs in Cali was crazy
Nine-teen eighty
Nine's the number
This is the summer
On some get rich come up
Quest switch the drum up
Invested some of my best
Years because of
Then I repped with some
Of the best kids that done it
My love dates back to show
That's incredible
Brothers who lack revenue
Spent on they back several
Times It made me
Know which way to go
And now
(Jurassic is rockin on the Radio)
The summertime yo
We would hang out
And talk about the new
Jam that came out
And from the way
The beat was laid out
And all the emcees
Had turned the place out
And we would say our
Rhymes to the beat
Right but we never
Indulged in the street
Life and now we all good to go
J5 is rockin on the radio
I got my mind on
Back in the day
The style a dress and
The records they play
Reminisce I got somethin to say
Check it out
Cause it went this way
Cause it went this way
The year was eighty-two
And the block was froze
When I stepped out rockin
Burgundy shell-toes
A fresh mock-neck

And some new Lee jeans
Add a pair a Gazelles and
Well you know what I mean
DJ Red Alert and Mr Magic had static
Over Kiss FM and BLS
Which one is the baddest
Brothers on the block
Was doin the Wop
While the cars drove
By bumpin real hip hop
The vibe and the feelin
Was oh so real
We held it oh so dear
So brother don't go there
Fat Boys Cold Crush Force MCs
All showed me how to
Really be a real emcee
From the Yes Yes Y'alls
To the Ladies say Ho
I can't believe my jam is
(rockin on the radio)
