The Park by Charlie Bucket Lyrics
[Intro]
Uh
It's all about
Y'all know what it is
They used to do it out in the park
Get yo hands up
Wave your hands like you just don't care
It's all about
Hip-hop, was set out in the dark
We used to do it out in the park
[Verse 1: Grandmaster Caz]
Every place they said my name, it rang an alarm
Casanova Fly, yo that dude is the bomb
And if you wanna see him play, all you gotta do is just
Follow that parade up the 82
You see, bad chicks and a bunch of dudes
And a Bronx state of mind, hip-hop attitude
[?]
More letters than your ABC's, baby please
A park jam, you don't need no flyer
Tell one person and it'll spread like wildfire
Especially if they see Casanova
Like a cup, I make the park runneth over
No generator, and not a plug in sight
But the next to the park house, there's a [?]
At the bottom there's a door lock usually
But we got in and jacked electricity
Hahaha
[Chorus]
Get yo hands up
Wave your hands like you just don't care
It's all about
Hip-hop, was set out in the dark
They used to do it out in the park
Get yo hands up
Wave your hands like you just don't care
Hip-hop, was set out in the dark
They used to do it out in the park
[Verse 2: Grandmaster Caz]
Everytime we had a jam, the park was packed
Side to side, front to front, and back to back
The park was church, the DJ was Pope
And if you wasn't down you couldn't go behind the rope
They had two turntables and a microphone
And a set that any DJ woulda liked to own
Speakers stacked on each side like towers
And enough records [?] to play for hours
The basketball courts was packed
Though hip-hop and basketball was predominantly black
We lived in the same hood with Puerto Ricans
But we shared the park, so in the summer 'til dark
Not only did you hear the sound of the DJ
But the [?] would also play
The sounds of salsa and hip-hop grooves
While the B-Boys bust some moves
That's how we did it in the park
[Chorus]
Get yo hands up
Wave your hands like you just don't care
It's all about
Hip-hop, was set out in the dark
They used to do it out in the park
Get yo hands up
Wave your hands like you just don't care
Hip-hop, was set out in the dark
They used to do it out in the park
[Verse 3: Grandmaster Caz]
I'd play the clubs in the winter, without no heat
Dressing rooms, with rats runnin' under my feet
But in the summer of '77 when the city went dark
Had my boys and my set jammin' in the park
[?], where we film Wildstyle
[?], where Chase played and Ching-a Lings were pal
The Westside, where Herc used to play in Cedar
Echo Park, my first battle, it was off the meter
In the winter we would have to go back indoors
Still the parties, used to be packed indoors
Couple of bucks to get in, at a park or a gym
Just to see us perform, yo but when it got warm
Mic check one two, in a park near you
Block parties, side street, the school yard would do
Wherever we could set up and jam music 'til dark
Nine times outta ten that was in the park
[Chorus]
Get yo hands up
Wave your hands like you just don't care
It's all about
Hip-hop, was set out in the dark
We used to do it out in the park
Get yo hands up
Wave your hands like you just don't care
It's all about
Hip-hop, was set out in the dark
They used to do it out in the park
[Outro]
Shout out to [?]
[?]
Y'all know what it is
Get yo hands up
Wave your hands like you just don't care
Hip-hop, was set out in the dark
They used to do it out in the park
Uh
It's all about
Y'all know what it is
They used to do it out in the park
Get yo hands up
Wave your hands like you just don't care
It's all about
Hip-hop, was set out in the dark
