[intro]Ah.. just a minute, erm,This is a little to controversial, and I don`t think.. erm,We are going to be up and here comes that blackWatch yourself, he is kind of smart, you know...Verse 1: [fresh kid ice]This story began five years agoTook a funky idea and began to rollBy doing something that was never doneWhile getting paid, still having funBeing explicit straight from the streetsNot forgettin our roots to an up-tempo beatTaking what they say just for grantedFor us to give up, thats what they wantedTo do it all, wed be taking shortscause at that time we were given no thoughtTo follow another; we didnt see itWere the example for others to seeIn the beginning all we had was a phoneAnd trust in each other was how we lived onWord was bond, we relied on trueFaith in each other backed up by lukeChorus:We areGhetto stylePerched in the southThe king of the ghettoThe man, not a mythVerse 2: [brother marquis]The journey was long, but we fought the struggleWe paid off in the end by the bundlesIn the beginning, some were against usBut we proved them wrong, and made them enviousSo we kept on writing, the public kept on buyingWhat we were making, they took a-likinWe found the market, hit the targetWe started the fire, but its you who sparked itWe stayed independent, and we didnt sell outWe started off with no help from the white houseThe plot was perfect, though we needed a gimmickSo we thought up this dance called throw the dizznickIn no time at all, things started growinCharts were showin that sales were soarinThen all the talkin, all the squawkin,They tried to take the name, but keep skyy-walkinChorusVerse 3: [fresh kid ice]A black thing, from beginning to endBrothers in the business and loyal friendsSteppin on stages, movin as oneFor the money and for the funNo matter how it goes, how bad it seems,When once seem down, we all come clean[brother marquis]In unity, we all stand strongWe all step together,No man walks aloneNo matter what, they cant stop usThey aint doin us just cause, when its just usAny circumstance we must overcomeLets keep the dream alive, and all get someAnd never mind those people with the negative vibesAnd never mind the people with the evil eyescause they all flippin somewhere out on a tripcause they dont understand the man and the mythChorus
