Grandmaster Caz - GOAT lyrics

[Verse 1: Grandmaster Caz] Before rap was a game or Hip-Hop was a nation Before Lauren Hill began her miseducation Before Milk was chillin' or PE brought the noise Before Heavy D and the Boyz Before the roof caught on fire, Before fresh was the word Before Whodini and friends and Roxanne's Revenge Before the freaks came out at night, before say Ho Before the Crash Crew was rocking on the radio Before Whitney, Mariah and J-Lo and Janet Before Bam and the Soulsonic Force rocked the planet Before “These Are The Breaks”, before Hard Times Before the Sugarhill Gang, and Before Super Rhymes Before Reaganomics, before rappers got shot in their stomachs Before you found Hip-Hop in comics Before G's, before weed was trees Before going raw dog gave you a deadly disease Before haters, before thugs and perpetrators Before the alphas and before the betas Before beepers and cell phones and retro gods And fed ex, food stamps and metro cards Before cops was 5-0 or gats was answers Before all the B-Boys turned in to break dancers Before Legs was crazy or out turned to swazey Back when my man said it's hot, humid and hazy….. Before all the bull and by no means get it twisted My name is Hip-Hop and I have always existed
