Life on Turntables

DST — “Rock It” set my fate

Needle dropped, world got flipped

Turntables talkin’, I got equipped

Dj honda production — hV

From party sets to battle scars

’86 — Union Square, Jeff raised the bar

Rewindin’ that VHS, frame by frame

Cash Money’s fingers? Lit that flame

DJ Aladdin with the “Rock the Bells”

Blew my chest — like I caught a shell

Ain’t no point if they don’t feel

Gotta prove it real, where it’s real for real

’85 — first scratch, “Rock It” rings

’86 — Jeff showed me what swing means

’88 — low-key cam, cut game tight

That footage schooled me every night

’89 — mailed my demo in bold

To Superman Pro — my story told

Turntables wrote my résumé

Clark Kent saw heat at NMS stage

’90 — DJ Steve Dee, first time I BATTLE

Needle drops, that’s my vow

Spinnin’ plates been speakin’ loud

Dreams I pressed in every groove

Life on Turntables — I made my move

’92 — went toe-to-toe with Raida

Now he cuttin’ from the sky — straight fader

Finals with Mixmaster Mike — real clash

Rob Swift, Sinista — all in that flash

Judges starin’: Q-Bert, Primo, Scratch

Every second — pressure, match

Stage was war, no room to front

I spoke with cuts — that’s how I hunt

This was Hip Hop, raw testin’ ground

Turntables spoke, no need for sound

Needle still spinnin’, talkin’ my truth

Record dropped, unlocked my youth

Hip Hop gave me lane and light

Plates and needles shaped my life

Gave me a voice, made it last

Life on Turntables — never the past

Needle still spinnin’, clock don’t stop

One record cracked the padlock

One stylus mapped out my fight

Hip Hop  gave me name, gave me light

Life on Turntables — every night

Rest in peace. Roc Raida

Respect and thanks, DJ Clark Kent

Rest in peace
