Kurtis Blow - Throughout Your Years Lyrics
Throughout your years
Your ups and downs
Your highs and your lows
I'm the man with the mic who rocks the house
The man called Kurtis Blow
'Casue I'm about ready to rock the world
And listen to my story because it got to be told
Like an Oscar winning actor when he is playing a role
When I wasn't the best, there was something in my head
To be a rapper was my dream
Like in the morning with the bacon, and the eggs, and the coffee, and the cream
So I made up my mind that I would always try to be the best that I can be
Now here I am, rapping at the jam
With the all the fly guys and the young ladies
Just take your time, you don't have to hurry
Hang tough, you don't have to worry
In society, the strong survive
So rap a single or get a nine to five
With a little hard work and dedication we'll pull together and rock the nation
So if you do the do and think you are great, come on everybody, participate
Say "ho"
You gotta to say "ho" if you are ready to go
Say "ow"
You gotta to say "ow" if you are ready right now
Say pride
Cause pride is what we got inside
To the top!
We are going to the top, we ain't going to stop!
Get down!
When it started out, the way wasn't clear
There was much confusion and a lot of fear
Walking in the shadow, searching for the light
Be the reason I could be that to make me right
Cause it ain't all champaign and cavier
Riding 'round the town in the finest car
Living in the star life of luxury
And being seen 'round the world at the place to be
Let down, no jobs ... checks hang up... back sets ...
A thousand things can hold you back and try to run you off the track
So you got to believe you can be the best
You got to work real hard to achieve success
So listen close, cause I insist
I got some advice, it goes just like this:
Take your time, you don't have to hurry
Hang tough, you don't have to worry
In society, the strong survive
So rap a single or get a nine to five
With a little hard work and dedication we'll pull together and rock the nation
So if you do the do and think you are great, come on everybody and participate
Say "Ho"!
You gotta to say "ho" if you're ready to go
Say "ow"!
You gotta to say "ow" if you're ready right now
Say "pride"!
Cause pride is what we got inside
Say top!
We're goin' to the top, we ain't gonna stop
Get down!
There is a man up there who's calling the shots
He says what is going to happen and what's not
There is only one way to stake a claim
You got to be a man
You gotta to play the game
Some people you may be around have negative vibes and try to get you down
But you mighty sound and you're really strong
You got to ... riding along
Winter, summer, fall, spring
Give it your all and everything
Step by step, day by day
Watch out for obstacles in your way
Don't be no other, be yourself
You can do that better than anyone else
Now, I can't tell you what to do, but the things I say still come true
Take your time, you don't have to hurry
Hang tough, you don't have to worry
In society, the strong survive
So rap a single or get a nine to five
With a little hard work and dedication we'll pull together and rock the nation
So if you do the do and think you are great, come on everybody, participate!

Kurtis Blow - Throughout Your Years 1980 & 2018
Desde panama saludos muy buenos recuerdos con esta canción.
I had the 2 little latchkey boys downstairs jumping and dancing to this.
Hell, have now played it so many times that we all sing the lyrics.
Their "Na-na-na-na-na-a-na" is just the best, just a crack up and they know it so the refrain becomes more and more ridiculous with their arms flaying and feet trying to move so quick they step on themselves.
Gotta love Kurtis.
Rap Roots... I wouldn't be here today if the old school didn't pave the way. Ain't nothing like the Old School!
This "RAP" has nothing to do with todays' crap.
RESPECT!!!! Pour le "First One" Mr Kurtis BLOW
