NYGz/GS 183rd (Interlude)

It's crazy, right?

Listen, listen, listen, I'm from New York City, right?

I'm from the five boroughs

It's the fact— Listen, when I was a little nigga growing up

When I met this nigga, him and Guru, right? (Mhm)

It probably— What was that, '87, '88? ('88)

'88, I was 16, 17 years old

I was gettin' money in Baltimore, I'm from the Bronx (Okay)

So I respected niggas from outta town

Coming to another town tryin' to get money (Aight)

Feel me? So that's what clicked me with Gang Starr

I thought Guru, God bless him, was my little man

That nigga was ten years older than me

I'm from outside (Okay)

And I thought that, you know

I come from the era where rappers wasn't really

Uh, admired the way they are now

You feel me? (Right) Them niggas was entertainers to us (Mhm)

We was ****in' with niggas who threw stones at the penitentiary (Right)

Alright, so, when I got with Gang Starr, it was like

"Yo, I like these niggas, they from outta town,

They came here to get money

And they doing they thing, I **** with them"

Then when they blew, it was, "Ah, that's shit, they blew

These niggas is legends"
