NYGz/GS 183rd (Interlude)

It’s crazy, right?
Listen, listen, listen, I’m from New York City, right?
I’m from the five boroughs
It’s the fact— Listen, when I was a little nigga growing up
When I met this nigga, him and Guru, right? (Mhm)
It probably— What was that, '87, '88? ('88)
'88, I was 16, 17 years old
I was gettin' money in Baltimore, I’m from the Bronx (Okay)
So I respected niggas from outta town coming to another town tryin' to get
money (Aight)
Feel me? So that’s what clicked me with Gang Starr
I thought Guru, God bless him, was my little man
That nigga was ten years older than me
I’m from outside (Okay)
And I thought that, you know
I come from the era where rappers wasn’t really
Uh, admired the way they are now
You feel me? (Right) Them niggas was entertainers to us (Mhm)
We was fuckin' with niggas who threw stones at the penitentiary (Right)
Alright, so, when I got with Gang Starr, it was like
«Yo, I like these niggas, they from outta town, they came here to get money
And they doing they thing, I fuck with them»
Then when they blew, it was, «Ah, that’s dope, they blew
These niggas is legends»
