"In The Beginning" lyrics
In the beginning, in the beginning
In the beginning, in the beginning
I'd like to dedicate this one to the Brooklyn posse
My brother Dynasty, [?], Larry Lar, rock on, murder!
Committin' murder on the scene, rock-shockin' the spot
Doin' as we see fit, rockin' the house on down
Ladies and gentlemen it's the one and only
But you can call me Ecstasy
We've come a long way baby
We've struggled through thick and thin
And if I had to do it over again it would be with you my friend
'Cause one day when I look back, a little further down the line
All we're gonna be able to say is that it wasn't always that way
In the beginning...against all odds
We didn't rob or steal, we went to school
And we always kept a job
And one thing it taught me, I'd like to mention
Is that a good education did for me what Lipton did for tea
Now, I'm not bragging, that's not my style
Because with me it's always service with a style
And baby doll, from that point I knew, rap would be my tool
So I kept on working at it, trying to improve
You see, when I was just a little boy my daddy sat me on his knee
And he told me about the fact of life while whispering to me
He said "Son, if at first, you don't succeed
A little bit of practice is all you need
Because after you start, you cannot quit
You've got to commit yourself to it
Because I wanted to be point guard
First string on my high school basketball team
I didn't really wanna go to school
Just play basketball that's all
I couldn't go to the prom with my Phys ed teacher
So I tried to get close to a fly cheerleader
But that didn't help my marks at all
Because in every subject I took a fall
So I tried to get back up on my feet
I even stopped hanging out in the street
I went to bed about 10 o'clock
And every morning I was ready to rock
I'd eat two bowls of Frosted Flakes
And then I had to break out so I wouldn't be late
'Cause the early bird always catches the worms
And I figured it's just about my turn
In the beginning, in the beginning
In the beginning, in the beginning
In the beginning, in the beginning
In the beginning, in the beginning
In the beginning, in the beginning
In the beginning, in the beginning
I'd like to dedicate this one to the Brooklyn posse
My brother Dynasty, [?], Larry Lar, rock on, murder!
Committin' murder on the scene, rock-shockin' the spot
Doin' as we see fit, rockin' the house on down
Ladies and gentlemen it's the one and only
But you can call me Ecstasy
We've come a long way baby
We've struggled through thick and thin
And if I had to do it over again it would be with you my friend
'Cause one day when I look back, a little further down the line
All we're gonna be able to say is that it wasn't always that way
In the beginning...against all odds
We didn't rob or steal, we went to school
And we always kept a job
And one thing it taught me, I'd like to mention

In the beginning, in the beginning
In the beginning, in the beginning
In the beginning, in the beginning
In the beginning, in the beginning
