[00:00.310]Akua Naru -the world is listening Jay Baez remix
[00:01.278]Flash
[00:01.798]Flash
[00:02.422]Flashback '88
[00:03.925]Copped my first tape
[00:05.06]Third Grade
[00:05.669]Young girl banking Roxanne Shante
[00:07.941]Around my way
[00:08.861]Called McKay
[00:09.893]Disarray
[00:10.694]Langston's a dark hues get bruised
[00:12.767]Stored away hey
[00:13.726]Caught in cage
[00:14.597]Fought in the maze gave up
[00:16.62]And now I got dreams of being live on stage
[00:18.757]What
[00:19.222]Turn up the volume me and my cousin
[00:21.193]Doing the wop
[00:22.234]Dreaming about the Salt-N-Pepa haircut
[00:24.346]Speakers bump like the rock pumps
[00:26.673]The rhythm of my next double-dutch jump
[00:28.778]What you want at once
[00:30.26]And we love the
[00:31.304]We dreamed of ourselves
[00:32.552]Knew when Latifah showed us what a queen was
[00:35.168]Went from invisible to seen on the Smooth tip
[00:37.720]Sweet Tee to follow Monie in the
[00:39.456]Middle on the scene
[00:40.519]So then saw myself I'll drop mics
[00:42.264]When I'm over

[01:03.287]For those never seen
[01:04.352]On the search for female emcees
[01:06.216]The microphone fiends
[01:07.601]Stomped in the '90s
[01:08.577]After school you could find me
[01:10.09]In the backyard begging for a beat box
[01:12.18]Rhyming
[01:12.571]U-N-I-T-Y and Heather B Blues
[01:14.427]Claim the news of the death
[01:15.802]Of Phyllis Hymen
[01:16.618]I rap to keep from crying
[01:17.979]Taking Mine now I'm the Bo
[01:19.298]Recipe for a show

[01:21.812]So I rock solo
[01:22.962]Then on the Blackstreet
[01:24.114]Ill Na Na get me home though
[01:25.882]I rap along to every song
[01:27.231]And ain't no playing with my Yo-Yo
[01:28.831]Check how I hit every note though
[01:30.679]Even sung along with patois
[01:32.310]Like in the joint she did with Patra
[01:34.222]I'm on a Romantic Call
[01:36.335]Talkin'to my baby Down ah mi yard
[01:38.390]Blank page calling a
[01:40.31]The crowd yes ya'llin'
[01:40.726]Nonchalantly in the trees

[01:42.231]Sported he Kim hardcore wig
[01:43.776]Then came Lauryn

[02:13.109]While things stayed the same
[02:14.318]Media forms changed
[02:15.451]New name from What-What to Jean Grae
[02:17.251]We bootlegged the bootleg
[02:18.483]Facebook or MySpace
[02:19.915]Put away cassette and VHS
[02:21.427]Tapes in vinyl crates
[02:22.787]Fast forward album release dates
[02:24.507]Hip-hopalizing what we buy or objectify
[02:27.240]In these days
[02:27.999]Tell me what's the plight
[02:29.40]Of a female MC's fate
[02:30.632]Or what's the worth of a
[02:31.735]Woman's story to a DJ
[02:33.231]Downloading everyone and now
[02:35.95]My heroes seemingly gone
[02:36.327]Search and found Lauryn Hill Unplugged
[02:37.880]Guess I lost one
[02:38.926]Some come and go
[02:39.878]Self-labeled b***h and ho
[02:41.205]A heretic of discourse
[02:42.838]I turn off the radio
[02:43.982]I can't relate nor can I hate
[02:45.870]For the ways we negotiate
[02:47.237]The sexist spaces we navigate
[02:49.477]I stay reppin'
[02:50.333]Vaunted by the crest of hip hop's crescent
[02:52.70]It seems
[02:52.638]Fantasy's what people want reality to be
[02:54.567]This is for Latifah for Lyte
[02:56.543]For Shante
[02:57.295]Bahamadia Lauryn Hill Heather B
[02:59.463]For Jean Grae
