The Bridge

Ladies and Gentleman
 We got MC Shan and Marley Marl in the house tonight
 They just came from off tour and they wanna tell you a little story
 about where they come from
 The Bridge [scratched] [x3]
 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 [scratched] [x3]
 Queensbridge
 Hip hop was set out in the dark
 They used to do it out in the park
 Every place they said his name it rang an alarm
 Otherwise known as Mean Teen Tom
 A brother whose known for his rap
 Jabby Jack, Larry Laughter and least not last
 A cool brother by the name of Gas
 These 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 everytime they had a jam
 They couldn't get no peace
 So that's why the jam's out there
 And the parks they had to cease cause you was in
 The Bridge [scratched] [x4]
 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 you're ass had better run
 Cause you're in
 The Bridge [scratched] [x4]

 Dimples be 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 sucker dj's
 And then he strolled along one day
 And then he walked into a girl named Shante
 Third in line you know its 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 ones that can't be worn
 Out
 By any place any part of the world
 And while i'm out on tour keep your hand off my girl
 When she's in
 The Bridge [scratched] [x8]
 Queensbridge
 Dead dreams, bought and sold
 You gotta try and receive your goal
 However you do it however you're made
 Don't ever listen to what? 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
 Or someone else that you will see
 Their trying to live your destiny
 By the time you think about it your grown
 And then you gotta say god damn I gotta leave my home
 Grab hold of your heavy chain
 Rich people always pullin always trying to restrain
 You heard just what I said
 They're always pullin ya back when you wanna get ahead
 They pull you back cause their not wit it
 You're talking about school
 Their talking about quit it
 Soon you'll see that time just fly
 Cause you spent most of it out gettin 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 goals
 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 [scratched] [4X]

 Keep on rockin
 The bridge
 Will keep rockin
 If the beat stop rockin
 The bridge will keep rockin
 If the beat stop rockin
 The bridge will keep-a rockin
 Till the beat stop rockin
 The bridge will keep-a rockin
 Till the bridge stop rockin
 The kids will keep-a rockin
 When the bridge stop rockin
 The bridge will keep-a rockin
 If the kids stop rockin
 The bridge will keep-a rockin
 Till the beat stop rockin
 The bridge will keep rockin
