“This sound hard, something funky that the people gonna dance to
Give the record a second and a chance to/
Hittin people like a scene of amazement
While they slippin back my feet is planted in the pavement
Crumble I can never do/ So now I’m lookin dead at you
What are you gonna do?/ You listen to the knowledge of a scholar
You say ‘Hi Breed,’ now tell em how I holler.”
-MC Breed, “Ain’t No Future in Your Frontin”
