Memories, What we talking about? Yeah memories
I walked the halls high school with the Source in hand. The town was Hillside I salute to
My fam. Hip-hop 101 studied the master course. Posing massive force cause most of us
From Newark. Claimed stakes back then, Heavyweights in the making. I stayed in the
Streets but success I kept tasting. Surrounded by Dj’s you all might know. Kaos from
Artifacts, Mr. Len from Co-Flow. Known thru-out the hood as the rhythm providers
Also DJ Muhammad from the group Da Outsidaz. Benef the young boss I was caught up in deep thought
Broke out dusty loops jazz hits of all sorts. Me and Kaos recorded a four song demo, in a
Bas#ment on Mertz. You can jot it in your memo. Slicker cuts was swift to the sounds of Lonnie Smith
It was hip hop bliss for the Lyricalologist. In these years to come we would bang out monster hits
It ain’t fair but for the culture man I wish I was there. Up in them legendary spots, nothing really
Compares. See there’s the L Brother’s, The Crash Crew in the clutch, While Breakout and Baron caused
Crowds to erupt. Rooftop, Disco Fever and the T Connection. Funky Four Plus One,The Red Parot
Reflection. Protection wasn’t needed they was out for fun. Precursor to L, this was way before Run
When Jerz entered the race it was Club 88. Where you cool out and escape. Yeah Zanz was the place
That gave Newark style and grace. See the Sounds of Jamaica brought the rhythm, and pace. The first
Things come, plus the music in your face. Girls up on the wall dudes standing in awe. Block Parties
Summer time this was never seen before. What you know about Sha-Rock and Double Trouble. Blast the
Cerwin Vegas it ain’t nothing subtle
Chorus: Go down go down go down with the get down, Straight from New York, Just listen to the sounds, There’s no way that the crowd can sit down, Gather around, Everybody get down, Down, go down, Get Down ,Straight from New York, Just listen to the sounds, There’s no way that the crowd can sit down

I remember vividly. My first park jam it was filling me, with pride felt it deep inside and yeah it’s still in
Me, Hip-hop really struck a nerve crafting words, The world could relate though had me feeling quite
Superb, Used to watch the neighborhood crews back in the Bridge, Too young to be amongst those
Crowds packed in the gigs, Harlem World Tapes, Fantastic verse the Cold Crush, Had my brain on tilt
Music had my soul touched, Way before the Juice Crew lunch table battle raps, Trying to be the best in
The school I would imagine that, Went from there to rocking the world every continent, Verbal
How its done on the set flows magnificent, Tomorrow next city we hope you fall through, Cause
Memories don’t live like people do!
Chorus: : Go down go down go down with the get down, Straight from New York, Just listen to the sounds, There’s no way that the crowd can sit down, Gather around, Everybody get down, Down, go down, Get Down ,Straight from New York, Just listen to the sounds, There’s no way that the crowd can sit down
Everybody get down, to the beat, Ya not familiar with the funky sound , that proves it right there you wasn’t down
Everybody get down, to the beat, Ya not familiar with the funky sound , that proves it right there you wasn’t down, Gather round
