[Intro: Joey Elwood]
Hey, yo, yo, T
What's up man?
Why don't you tell 'em that story bout how you went back in the day on the hip-hop thing?
Ya know what I'm sayin'?
Yeah, tell 'em that story, man, huh?

[Verse: TobyMac & Joey Elwood]
We're gonna go back to the basics of the hip-hop scene
Just a loop and some lyrics and a mic, ya know what I mean?
I was just a mere child in the capital of the nation
When I heard Sugarhill on my favorite station
I dropped all I was doin', took a train to the city
To Douglas Records and the wiz, "Rapper's Delight" was the ditty
No Scritti for my Politti, not a Pop for my sicle
And since that day I was never ever fickle

[Outro: Joey Elwood]
Aw, yeah
Yo, that was smooth, T
That was smooth, that was real smooth
I like that story (Hey)
Man, that was real, that was real, Toby
Man, please, you better watch that stuff
That was all wack
