[Intro: Joey Elwood]

Hey, yo, yo, T

What's up man?

Why don't you tell 'em that story bout how you went back in the day on the hip-hop thing?

Ya know what I'm sayin'?

Yeah, tell 'em that story, man, huh?

[Verse: TobyMac & Joey Elwood]

We're gonna go back to the basics of the hip-hop scene

Just a loop and some lyrics and a mic, ya know what I mean?

I was just a mere child in the capital of the nation

When I heard Sugarhill on my favorite station

I dropped all I was doin', took a train to the city

To Douglas Records and the wiz, "Rapper's Delight" was the ditty

No Scritti for my Politti, not a Pop for my sicle

And since that day I was never ever fickle

[Outro: Joey Elwood]

Aw, yeah

Yo, that was smooth, T

That was smooth, that was real smooth

I like that story (Hey)

Man, that was real, that was real, Toby

Man, please, you better watch that stuff

That was all wack
