Radio

Many many moons ago

Jurassic 5

Began their quest

To put real hip hop

On the radio

Now here's a little story

That must be heard

About the brother with

The word sounds so superb

It started way back

With these emcees

Now here's a little somethin

On the history

I'm a H-I-P H-O-P H-E

A-D been since

One-nine-eight-three

R to the A-P-P-I-N

Eighty-four was the year

I picked up the pen

At the same time breakin

Tryin' to come on in

But I was already in

Since way back when

One-nine-seven-five

The saga began

R to the O-B-O-T-I-N

Eighty-one I was P-O-P-P-I-N

One-nine-eighty-two D-J-in

Eighty-three it was all

About Run-DMC man

A gangbanger taught me

How to break dance then

The same year I

Picked up the pen

And wrote my first rhyme

And got that feelin

And now I'm here in the

Flesh still **** still death

Tryin' to get my song

(rockin on the radio)

The summertime yo

We would hang out

And talk about the new

Jam that came out

And from the way

The beat was laid out

And all the emcees had

Turned the place out

And we would say

Our rhymes to the beat

Right but we never

Indulged in the street

Life and now we all good to go

J5 is rockin on the radio

Yo I was an inner-city

***** in my room I'd sit

Poppin off quick cause

I could sing a little bit

With my hi-top fade

And matchin outfits

But once the record hit

It's like listen to this

Hip hop is the reason

That a brother evolved

And I was so involved

I ain't gonna lie to none a y'all

By the time I started

Rhymin in the late eighties

The drugs in Cali was crazy

Nine-teen eighty

Nine's the number

This is the summer

On some get rich come up

Quest switch the drum up

Invested some of my best

Years because of

Then I repped with some

Of the best kids that done it

My love dates back to show

That's incredible

Brothers who lack revenue

Spent on they back several

Times It made me

Know which way to go

And now

(Jurassic is rockin on the Radio)

The summertime yo

We would hang out

And talk about the new

Jam that came out

And from the way

The beat was laid out

And all the emcees

Had turned the place out

And we would say our

Rhymes to the beat

Right but we never

Indulged in the street

Life and now we all good to go

J5 is rockin on the radio

I got my mind on

Back in the day

The style a dress and

The records they play

Reminisce I got somethin to say

Check it out

Cause it went this way

Cause it went this way

The year was eighty-two

And the block was froze

When I stepped out rockin

Burgundy shell-toes

A fresh mock-neck

And some new Lee jeans

Add a pair a Gazelles and

Well you know what I mean

DJ Red Alert and Mr Magic had static

Over Kiss FM and BLS

Which one is the baddest

Brothers on the block

Was doin the Wop

While the cars drove

By bumpin real hip hop

The vibe and the feelin

Was oh so real

We held it oh so dear

So brother don't go there

Fat Boys Cold Crush Force MCs

All showed me how to

Really be a real emcee

From the Yes Yes Y'alls

To the Ladies say Ho

I can't believe my jam is

(rockin on the radio)
