You Can Try

EPMD said, "Rap's outta control"

It is

Flippin' through the channels, they banned real rap

No video or radio talk about that

Let me slide in the home with the beat on my back

You wanna be startin' somethin' it's somethin' to follow back

Cruisin' down the high street, lady on the side of me

Crew to the back of me, like how it's gotta be

That's the way it is just like I won the lottery

Get it? You copy me? Ditto, follow me

Kiddo one day you'll be on this balcony

Send a bird to the curb, bring back annually

This is dedicated to the 'lectric and the family

Inglewood, Chicago to that Big Smoke faculty

Put 'em on the card, don't test me boy

But know what you're doin', don't stress me boy

Put 'em on the card, don't test me boy

But know what you're doin', don't stress me boy

Put 'em on the card, don't test me boy

But know what you're doin', don't stress me boy

Put 'em on the card, don't test me boy

But know what you're doin', don't stress me boy

Flippin' through the pages, they banned real rap

No magazine or website talkin' 'bout that

Boy Meets World, no Mr. Feeny

And just yesterday I wrote my name in graffiti

Check my exhibit, it'll tell you all about him

The boys in the 70's really got it poppin'

Let me say somethin' to get the crowd marchin'

This life like, like I wrote outside the margins

Sixty-nine summers, dyin' after autumn

Family really miss him, what your ears used to listen

One minute's in the microwave, that's all from the kitchen

Breaker, breaker, end it, end the transmission

If you're up on the wall, it's time to make a break

If you want change just follow the gang and you can start today

If you're up on the wall, it's time to make a break

If you want change just follow the gang and you can start today

Put 'em on the card, don't test me boy

But know what you're doin', don't stress me boy

Put 'em on the card, don't test me boy

But know what you're doin', don't stress me boy

Put 'em on the card, don't test me boy

But know what you're doin', don't stress me boy

Put 'em on the card, don't test me boy

But know what you're doin', don't stress me boy

Put 'em on the card, don't test me boy

But know what you're doin', don't stress me boy

Put 'em on the card, don't test me boy

But know what you're doin', don't stress me boy

Put 'em on the card, don't test me boy

But know what you're doin', don't stress me boy

Put 'em on the card, don't test me boy

But know what you're doin', don't stress me boy

You can be famous, no matter what your name is

You can be famous, no matter what your aim is

You can be famous, no matter what your name is

You can be famous, no matter what your aim is

You can be famous
