'87 dropped a classic disc
15
The facts is the tracklist was like four
16
The vocals, the beats -- according to Marly Marl
17
Recorded in my hometown Queensbridge
18
That's why it's so relative

Paid In Full posse, hot they was on

With the next line I'ma be easy

His wisdom's name is Fifi
38
EPMD put a record out, was dope
39
Tension spread, and I quote "Smack me and I smack you back"
40
Sounded like the answer to the I Ain't No Joke track
41
For a second it ain't look good
42
Little tension buzzin' from Wyandanch to Brentwood
43
Misunderstood, all forgot by sixteen when I met Freddy Foxx
44
Totin' burners, the whole coast's most concern was
45
How was Rakim's flow, made Christians convert with Islamic ways
46
Let The Rhythm Hit 'Em was the third LP
47
A sophisticated mean one, before similar voices were King Son
48
A few others, but sooner or later, the game was Ra's kingdom
49
At sixteen, son was watchin' him, mesmorized
50
Respect, not jockin' him, was so amazin', besides
51
He came on the stage with lasers in his eyes
52
Walk with me now
53
