This Is Dedicated To... - Wale Oyejide, MF DOOM

This goes out to DJ’s, b-boys, and emcees, all the world

This goes out to Pete Rock, KRS, the Roots crew and A Tribe Called Quest

This goes out to Black Star, Black Moon, and my man MF DOOM

This goes out to hip hop

«Daddy Kane, Daddy Kane, Daddy Kane, Daddy Kane»

Yo, this goes out to DJ’s, b-boys, and emcees, all the world

This goes out to Pete Rock, KRS, the Roots crew and A Tribe Called Quest

This goes out to Black Star, Black Moon, and my man MF DOOM

This goes out to hip hop

«Daddy Kane, Daddy Kane, Daddy Kane, Daddy Kane»

This goes out to hip hop

As told by the oldest, I’m straight out the womb

The first thing he noticed was a 808 boom

DOOM, not from the earth like mummy Smurf

If you ain’t no ventriloquist then what’s the dummy worth?

There was a time when there was no fake gun-clapping rapping happening

Let me know, when they done yapping

Ever since the born age survived on rage

Dude’s paid on a real stage like the steel cage

The Iron Sheik told you who’s the all

The power of your thought can shape a cube into a ball

'Stead of plugged in to the tube through the wall

Stop and follow your heart you might avoid the fall

Only the best’ll stand the test of time

I take this more serious than just a rhyme

Wanna learn the D pay the fee

This one goes out to the one Subroc, KMD

And you don’t quit

Back in the days when I, was a teenager

«Back- the days» «back- the days» «back- the days»

Before I had, stacks and a pager

«Back- the days» «back- the days» «back- the days»

You could find, where I lay, listening, to hip hop

«Back- the days» «back- the days» «back- the days»

You could find, where I lay, on the floor, whenever the beat dropped

Nowadays radio only plays, the same songs

Nowadays, to be fake, and you know, that’s all gone

It is time, change our ways, bring it back, to where it belongs

How many emcees, must be dissed, before they all learn?

All learn, that

This goes out to DJ’s, b-boys, and emcees, all the world

This goes out to Pete Rock, KRS, the Roots crew and A Tribe Called Quest

This goes out to Black Star, Black Moon, and my man MF DOOM

This goes out to hip hop

«Daddy Kane, Daddy Kane, Daddy Kane, Daddy Kane»

This goes out to DJ’s, b-boys, and emcees, all the world

This goes out to Pete Rock, KRS, the Roots crew and A Tribe Called Quest

This goes out to Black Star, Black Moon, and my man MF DOOM
