Songtexte Foundations Of Hip Hop & The DJ - Common
Hip-hop started on the streets of New York
With the black and Latino community
And it's gone on to spread across the world
Bringing together blacks, whites, Latinos, Asians
People from England, people from Amsterdam
People from, from um, Germany, people from Ireland
People from Japan, from Africa, from Cuba
From where else? (Suriname!)
Suriname, yes, Suriname, yeah
From the Caribbean all over, right? South America
Bringing together all people, y'all
All under what we call hip-hop
(Hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop)
(Hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop)
Now, in the basement, we love hip-hop
And we wanna take it forward
But in order to move forward
You gotta understand where you come from, you dig?
Now, at the North Sea Jazz Festival, we, we, we should know
We all know that hip-hop got these different elements
It's not just rappin', it's different elements
You got MCin', you got graffiti
You got breakdancin', B-boyin' and B-girlin'
But the foundation of hip-hop, where it all started
Is with the DJ
