The Story Of Rap
Come on everybody let's all get down
Cause what we have is a brand new sound
It's called hip hop
And it can't be beat
So let me tell you all the tale on how it came to be
It goes Boom Bap Boom Boom Bap
Boom Bap boom boom Bap
Boom Bap boom boom Bap
Well let me finish my story and continue the rap
In the parks and the basements in nyc
In the year of 1973
Once upon a time there was a really great DJ
And he had a bunch a records that he loved to play
It goes Boom Bap Boom Boom Bap
Boom Bap boom boom Bap
Boom Bap boom boom Bap
Well let me finish my story and continue the rap
In the parks and the basements in nyc
In the year of 1973
The DJ played breaks to give the people a chance
To watch the B-Boys and B-Girls do their dance
It went Boom Bap Boom Boom Bap
Boom Bap boom boom Bap
Boom Bap boom boom Bap
Well let me finish my story and continue the rap
In the parks and the basements in nyc
In the year of 1973
Party people need to know they're in the place to be
So on the microphone emerged the first mc
It goes Boom Bap Boom Boom Bap
Boom Bap boom boom Bap
Boom Bap boom boom Bap
Well let me finish my story and continue the rap
In the parks and the basements in nyc
In the year of 1973
There was a movement of dance and fashion and sound
And everybody in the world wanted to be down
They called it hip hop
And it'll never ever stop
They called it hip hop
And it'll never ever stop
They called it hip hop
And it'll never ever stop
So don't you forget to give the DJ his props
Yeah
