Rising to the Top KRS-One & Marley Marl

[Intro]
Good evening to you super listeners
How you doing tonight, all you fly guys and fly girls
Welcome once again to the world famous Mister Magic Rap Attack
And of course I am Sir Juice

[Verse 1]
Way way back before the Hots and the Powers
We used to listen to live mixing for hours
Roxanne Shante, U.T.F.O
Mister Magic Rap Attack some of y'all know
But I was in the shelter in weakness, homeless
Turntableless and microphoneless
Fresh gearless but still I was fearless
And focused on being the dopest MC alive
It's '85, LL's on Def Jam with the best jam and Whodini's on Jive
Man you know I had to survive
New York City was crazy in the 80s but damn it was alive
So here comes the Juice Crew with MC Shan
Shante's already the queen, Marley's already the man
Y'all don't really understand
When you throw on Shante or Shan it got live in the jam
So we went to Mister Magic
If anybody had the power to put you on he had it
We gave up the demo tape, no love lost
But it seems Mister Magic just brushed us off
Somehow we heard we were wack
Every track and that we shouldn't even call back
Right there my jaw dropped, no doubt
But it made me see what I was all about
