Producer - Marley Marl 1986 , Bridge Records Lyrics: Ladies and Gentleman We got MC Shan and Marley Marl in the house tonight They just came from off tour and they want to tell you a little story about where they come from The Bridge (3X) 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 (3X) 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 T-Tom A Brother who's known for his Rap - Jappy Jap Larry Larr , 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 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 (4X) 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 (4X) Queensbridge Dimples-D 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 DJs' 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 (8X) 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 want to 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 (4X) Queensbridge 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 ......................................... Ladies and Gentleman We got MC Shan and Marley Marl in the house tonight Ladies and Gentleman We got MC Shan and Marley Marl in the house tonight They just came from off tour and they want to tell you a little story about where they come from _________________________________________________________________ Description: - Marley Marl’s older Brother Larry Larr was part of a DJ crew called Hi-Fidelity , along with Jappy Jap, T-Tom and DJ Gas. They were one of the first Crews to start performing in the Parks in Queensbridge. Years later, People Under The Stairs would name a song after Jappy Jap, using the “a brother who’s known for his rap” vocal as a hook. - Crystal Smith aka 'Dimples D' rapped on Marley Marl’s very first production, the 1983 track “Sucker DJ’s” (an Answer Record to “Sucker MC’s” by Run DMC). The song wasn’t hugely popular on first release but it does have a legacy thanks to its acapella version. Marley himself used the record in several DJ tracks (such as “Marley Marl Scratch” and “The Man Marley Marl”). - Roxanne Shante, famous for making the Answer Record “Roxanne’s Revenge” in response to “Roxanne, Roxanne” by UTFO en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roxanne_Wars - Craig-G was another Member of the Juice Crew genius.com/Mc-shan-the-bridge-lyrics
