The Bridge (original) Songtext
Ladies and gentlemen
We got MC Shan and Marley Marl in the house tonight
They just came from off tour
They wanna tell you a little story about where they come from
The Bridge, Queensbridge
The Bridge, Queensbridge
The Bridge, Queensbridge
The Bridge, Queensbridge
You love to hear the story again and again
Of how it all got started way back when
The monument is right in your face
Sit and listen for a while to the name of the place
The Bridge, Queensbridge
The Bridge, Queensbridge
The Bridge, Queensbridge
The Bridge, Queensbridge
Hip-hop was set out in the dark
They used to do it out in the park
Every place that said his name, it rang an alarm
Otherwise known as Mean T Tom
A brother who′s known for his rap
Jabby Jack, Larry Latch, third least not last
A cool brother by the name of Gas
Phase brothers made you get loose
They was down with a brother called Cousin Bruce
They used to jam in the center
You had to pay so you could enter
Go to the door, get frisked
Just in order to get in
And if you wasn't from this town
Then you couldn′t fight and win
But every time they had a jam
They couldn't get no peace
So that's why the jams out there in the parks they had to cease
′Cause you was in
The Bridge, Queensbridge
The Bridge, Queensbridge
The Bridge, Queensbridge
The Bridge, Queensbridge
Why don′t you wise up, show all the
People in the place that you are bright
Make this here one jam that you do not start no fight
'Cause that is one thing that we all must see done
And if you start some shit, your ass had better run
′Cause you're in
The Bridge, Queensbridge
The Bridge, Queensbridge
The Bridge, Queensbridge
The Bridge, Queensbridge
Come see the girl, she was great
Her and Marley Marl went and cut a plate
They used to rock it out in the place
And the title of it was Sucka Dee Jay
And then he strolled along one day
And then he walked into girl named Shanté
Third line, you know it′s me
MC Shan, ha ha, in the place to be
MC Man, he made them beg
He is the man who is known as Craig
The newest member, out to get loose
Now he is down with us and he got the juice
This is the place where stars are born
And we are the only one that can't be worn out
Find a place any part of the world
And while I′m out on tour, keep your hand off my girl
While she's in
The Bridge, Queensbridge
The Bridge, Queensbridge
The Bridge, Queensbridge
The Bridge, Queensbridge
Dead dreams, bought and sold
You gotta try and receive your goal
However you do it, however you may
Don't ever listen to what nobody say
′Cause I will tell you the deal
You gotta go by what your heart feel
′Cause if you don't, you′ll be misled
By stupid little things put inside your head
By someone else that you will see
They're trying to lead your destiny
By the time you think about it, you′re grown
Then you say, "Goddamn, I gotta lead my own"
Grab hold of your heavy chain
Which people always pulling, always trying to restrain
You heard just what I said
They're always pulling you back when you wanna get ahead
They pull you back ′cause they're not with it
You're talking ′bout school, they′re talking 'bout, "Quit it"
Soon you′ll see that time goes fly
But you spent most of it out getting high
Thought about it much, much later
Could've went to school and been much greater
But you chose to lead that fate
Now you′re sucking on a bone when it should've been steak
The whole purpose of the story I told
Was mainly to inspire you to reach your goal
Stop walking through life as if you are blind
You should reach for your goal ′cause I'm reaching for mine
And I'm from
The Bridge, Queensbridge
The Bridge, Queensbridge
The Bridge, Queensbridge
The Bridge, Queensbridge
Keep on rocking, the Bridge will keep rocking
If the beat stop rocking, the Bridge will keep rocking
If the beat stop rocking, the Bridge will keep rocking
If the beat stop rocking, the Bridge will keep rocking
If the Bridge stop rocking, the kids will keep rocking
If the Bridge stop rocking, the Bridge will keep rocking
If the kids stop rocking, the Bridge will keep rocking
If the beat stop rocking, the kids will keep rocking
