Y'all niggas love to hear the stories again and again

Of how it all got started way back then

See it was marlymc shanthe juice crew

Queensbridgehip-hop landthose niggas blew (up)

Nobody said it started there

But some playa hater tryed to end a party there

Niggas didn't care they burned itput it in the air

I took it personal readied up for warfare

Shityeahwhat? 

But time passed byshit died out

But niggas got paid off my hood no doubt

Now everybodies rhyminother hoods start shinin

Thats ahight 'cuz the bridge'll keep risin

"the bridgequeensbridge"

"screwball drops the illest shit"



[poet]

And just when you thought things couldnt get betta

Nas dropped illmatic and let'cha'll faggots have it

He brought the shine backmade the right contact

Had the whole world sayin "hey dunrewind that" (rewind that)

Niggas from every hood felt the new vibe

The word spread quickthe bridge is still live

My dun went goldthen he went platinum

My niggas mobb deep had the streets right afta him

Oh my godshits off the hook now

Killing kidsin the bridge carry rap books now

Another chapter about to dominate

I guess it's just in our naturequeensbridge gotta set it straight

We on some kamikaze shitmoving at a cormega pace

Infamous mobb up in this rap race

This is the place where stars are born

Im'a stay repin my hood until im'a dead and gone

You still walkin through life like you was blind

Need you a lucy but you short one dime

Damnthought about itten minutes later

Bumbed a cigarette going up in the elavator

Dead dreamsmore than sold

You gotta to try and recieve ya goal

However you do ithowever you may

Don't never listen to what nobody sayuhh

But you chose to lead that fate

Now you're sucking on a bone when it should'a been steak (steak)

The whole purpose of the story I told

Was mainly to inspire you to reach your goal

Stop walking through as you were blind

You should reach for your goal 'cuz I'm reaching for mine

You love toyou love to
