once upon a time   in the early days of rhyme   rap was just an aoddity   not today's commodity   a sure form of self expression   not violence and wealth obsession   so please let me take this chance    to change your mind and make you dance!      who's hot, who's not?      well, i wanna take you back to the brooklyn streets of the 1970's   where kids played beats by stomping their feet   and became the first mc's   cause you know what they were rapping about positivity   despite the fact that they were living an a greature poverty      now all we ever seem to find is another greedy fool with an empty mind   why?      we got a hunger for a real donation   true mc's with imagination   go back in your memory   way back before the money   tip your hat to the old school   straight up, too fresh and so cool      this is a love song, this is a love      they walked down staircases in their fat shoelaces   and they had smiling faes on   cause you know that their flow caused a hippity show   breakers breaking till the break of dawn      had the party shaking to the tracks they wre making   these guys could do no wrong   they rocked the house keeping all the words   up party-moving all night long      now it's not about bouta bouta wha'da ya got   but what you gotta gotta gotta to give   giving to the people i the hottest of hot   so start thinking about the love you can live      maybe now you have realized the things they tell are really lies   but don't you fret 'cause this quartet will never let you forget about love      this is a love song, this is a love
