[Intro] [Verse 1: Buck 65] It all started with [sampled caveman-grunts] Before the DJ started mixing tones The missing link had a mic made of sticks and stones The quest for fire coincided with the "yes, yes, ya'll" writing on the wall and savage styles and the terrific hieroglyphics New methods were fresh And it was all about survival of the clever and expression So it didn't take long before we started bodyrockin' it And braggin wit' some exaggeration when we talkin' It shouldn't come as any surprise And like the problem is solved, because The s**er-mc's were the slowest to evolve And started breakin' north – they couldn't take the heat The only choices open to 'em were to die or else retreat And so um, it's like that, and now to choose: Would it be worse if I waged world war or let mankind diversify? You never know. There's always room for improvement And so the original "Stop the Violence" movement was born And were it not the only logical response There never would've been a Renaissance and probably no DJs Because sophisticated music was made And the bases was taken Bits of what those and other places were makin' Sk**s developed with variety in charge And it had a great effect on the society at large Physics and other scientifics gained velocity Because there was rejuvenated sense of curiosity When it comes to stars in the sky, thunder and lightning, and the need for speed I wonder why [Bridge] [Verse 2: Sixtoo] After the Renaissance is when it all started to happen rapidly All the starin' at the sky made people ask questions Tinkerin' with their possessions in the quest to find somethin' more Electro-rock was formed soon thereafter The overturnin' of the [?], formin' of a new chapter Created discontentment with common belief from thereafter "ELECTRO-ROCK" would be written in block-letter For movin' type, preschool styles To foresight to foreshadow to forefront to the fortress While turnin' of the century brought about new innovation Creation on creation, invention of new occupations The emergence of the kick-drum first-draft Recorded on dubplates that be single sided-wax Soon followed by two-sided wax Compression and multitracks to industry And here's where the problems emerge I wonder if I should stop them now Or will they know how [?] ? It ain't clear to them the power they've released into their immediate atmosphere [Bridge] [Verse 3: Buck 65] I finally had to spell it out in wild-style suggestion In aerosol, written in the form of a question I guess it takes time to identify the fossils and relics We laid faith in the hands of the apostles And let 'em lay the groundwork down and set parameters But somehow a group of amateurs and nonbelievers got involved I guess it's what we get for bein' vague, baby What's it gonna be? [Sixtoo]: Another ice-age or a plague maybe [Outro]
