It was eighty-five
Queensbridge was crazy live
Smitty was an icon
His son had and MB5
Shan was the man on the rap tip
Marley on the beats, Big Wag on the crack tip
sh** was sweet, Trent was a fly n***a
John Boi a live n***a
Trag hung with Ugi, you my heart til I die n***a
Herb was a trouble maker
RK a money maker
Can't forget Wee-Wop he was the illest ball player
86 was when the Bridge stuck together
The era of crack vials and dapper dan leathers
Karenga was a funny n***a
Fat Boy a hungry n***a
Wells from the 40 busters was a get money n***a
When Tyrone died we cried with Thomas
Smash had the accident that shocked the projects
Then The Bridge dropped, KRS got on the bandwagon
And did Shan but it was good for hip hop
And 87 hot day mixtapes was bangin'
Anita Baker sang while we were slangin'
Doing our thing hangin' on corners
With Roach that was enormous
Big bu*ter was reppin', Dime had the tournaments
Rodney was a flashy n***a
Prince Wally had heat, Mark Allen used to physically smash n***as
Can't forget Yammy with the sk** and hand speed
That also it the year we first seen blue vandeeds
Fun and World was gettin' it big time
And n***a World was the first n***a I seen wit a five
88 was ill, John Hov got k**ed
In the summer time n***as parked their rides on the hill
Droughs was a fighter, Spunk was a cash getter
Up was mad skinny but not afraid to blast n***as
Don't even ask about a Queensbridge jam kid
The music was loud and secluded the blastin
Im from 40-15 like Horse and Douler
Alley Joe Mar and Troy the future
Jungle to Wattson fishin' the Austins
Puerto Rican Juan on the fifth floor snortin'
Can't forget Kool Chip Hays and Bo
Spud Black Jay E Flam Mayo
Wallace Snake Hi-C Starby
Gram Wiz Crazy Barry and his brother Robby
A year later we was duckin' from Bobby
On the Ave it was Crazy Smalls Black and Party
Kenyon Lisa Inga Richie Opps and Howie
Suiter and Bar Kim the Foul One the hand and hand king
