Takin' It Back - Kool Keith, Kutmasta Kurt

PS 53 classmate with Kenny Pounder

The Cold Crush Brother, watching Casanova Lover

The master flower, Keith Thornton, there’s no other

My class over at three with Bronx MC’s

The super imposer, cruisin' on the Major Deegan

Quarts and blunts, sippin' Olde E on the weekend

My girl Fatima, half black and Puerto Rican

I’m movin' fast rate, Webster down to Bathgate

A lot of guys was good, but many came half weight

The comp got bad, the city came half rate

Think to the critics, I left them all in debate…

PS 53,

Junior high school,

I went to Clinton,

12 o’clock lunchtime, bangin' on the school table

I was able more fatal to spin around like tornado

Catchin' Batman & Robin, Green Hornet and Kato

The main attraction was Grandmaster Flash action

I tell brothers Mean Gene was with the L Brothers

Cordio Vex with Phase 2 drawin' flyers

The crowd is fat, the people jumpin' over wires

The 5 train runnin', the crew comin' down from Dyer

Footline express, the last car but we don’t fire

Schlitz malt liq', the P.A.L.

gettin' higher

With Union Ave up there, we used to watch stick-up kids

Go and laugh up there

Cazal’s in the place, girls peep my Quarter field

Fur on the collar, the German Shepherd feel real

Breakout and Baron, in the club, on the wheels of steel

Kool Herc in Cedar Park, echoes down the hill

Echo chamber, yes yes y’all

When B-1's was out, with the orange lights, where was y’all?

The Saigons, the Nomads, the Black Spades

Alexander’s and Juman’s was the real spot

Pro-Keds and Converse stayed real hot

Turtlenecks and shirts, AJ’s and overlap

Stetson hats, bustin' over mean raps
