Farmers Blvd. (Our Anthem)

(アルバム： Mama Said Knock You Out - 1990)

[LL Cool J {Marley Marl}:]
Hey, man, don't you realize, in order for us to make this thing work, man
We've got to get rid of the pimps, and the pushers, and the prostitutes—
Bahahaha
Yes, yes, y'all
Uh, uh, that's funky {Yeah}
Ayo, Marley, man ({Yo, what's up, man?} Farmers Boulevard)
Ayo, man, you know, we was getting busy on the album and everything
Yeah, we been getting funky, but
I wanna take this jam back to Farmers (Farmers Boulevard)
Know what I'm sayin'?
{Yo, let's go back on Farmers}
{And get some of them early MCs}
{You used to be kicking it with back in the day?} (Farmers Boulevard)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
{Yo, let's do a jam with them}
Aight, bet
But first I gotta, like, introduce it, you know what I'm sayin'?
{Aight, kick it} (Farmers Boulevard)

[LL Cool J (Bomb):]
Back in the days, before I was Cool J
I used to hang up on the corner pumping "Games People Play"
Sitting on a garbage can, rhyming to my man
Talking 'bout big money and future plans
I always told the brothers if I got a contract
When the money started flowing, I'd be back
To do a jam, against all odds
Introducing rapper one from Farmers Boulevard (Ayo)

[Bomb:]
B-O-M-B, bomb explosion
Attack like a cat when I'm trapped and I'm closed in
Sharp-ass claws and I break all laws
In a while all jaws, 'cause I'm perfect, no flaws
Now I'm back to Farmers on some new improved (Shh)
I'm making moves, not faking moves
So don't you never come around here talking that talk
Or walking that walk, you'll get played like a sport
Football, soccer, whatever you savor
You're a tramp and a pussycat, ready for labor
Ha, L'll have you breaking locks
I'll have you cooking fried rice in a big steel wok
The type of skills that I got reigned for years
No worry or cares, your crew'll shed tears
"Hip-hip-hooray, he's back," yo, save the cheers
Suckers, I'm drinking forties of beers on the Boulevard

[LL Cool J (Marley Marl):]
Funky, funky, funky rhymes being said here
(Ayo, ayo, ayo, Uncle L, let's go)
Yeah, man, I wanna check out my man Big Money Grip
Yo, what's up, man? Kick a little something

[Big Money Grip:]
Kicked out the can and slam
Summertime, C.I.A. stepping into the jam
Reach for the mic and the punks start to fold up
And the brothers start fleeing like it's a hold-up
Some step aside, but a few play me close
Never worry, 'cause the brother who cross me's gettin buried
And the fool who wants to deal with another dose
I see to it in a hour that the motherfucker's comatose
Farmers Boulevard, the place
Handing me a mic is like giving a chainsaw to Leatherface
Smoking MCs in an instant
At my side busting caps is T-Boogie, my assistant
Throw that speaker in the trash
Why's that? 'Cause "Gangster Boogie" gave the woofer a gash
Big Money Grip making you get up
Farmers Crew's in effect, we never heard of a head-up

[Marley Marl (LL Cool J) {Hi C}:]
Yo, yo, yo
It's kinda funky out here on the boulevard, yo
(Yeah, we living Chinese people in a Turkish bath, baby)
Hi C over there, man
(Yo, what's up Hi C?)
{What up, kid, yo, what's up?}
{Lemme get busy for 'em one time (Farmers Boulevard)}

[Hi C:]
Hi C on the scene, at last to bust a funky rhyme
More than a line on time because I'm getting mine
Never underestimate the skill of a great one
The Boulevard lord, shorts, never take none
Another funky rapper from around the way
Leaving bodies at a party 'cause somebody gotta pay
Boy, you been told, put your lips on hold
All you'll remember is a barrel and a mouth full of gold
Spreading terror on the street like they was in the past
Any punks on the block, yo, never could last
And I never feel sorry for a sucker I gained on (Buck)
Any slick talker, yo, he's bound to get rained on
At any Farmers party at my side is a Mag
One time a sucker got ill and went out in a body bag
Fear will erupt through the heart of another
The Farmers Crew will never fall, that's word to the mother

[Marley Marl (LL Cool J):]
Yo, yo, yo, it's kinda funky out here
Yo, yo, yo, Hi C
Yo man, y'all kinda funky out here, yo—I was—Yo, what's up?
(Farmers Boulevard, baby)
Yo, I was kinda—I was kinda stagnant to sleep on it, but yo, L
Why don't—why don't you sum it on up for the people?
(Aight, let me sum this up, yeah)

[LL Cool J:]
Now you heard the brothers speaking 'bout the street that we're from
Rhymes hitting, beats kicking, you can't get none
F-A-R-M-E-R-S passing the test
Marley Marl in the background doing the rest
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do, do-ti-la-so-fa-mi-re-do, Kato
Get up out my face before I play you like Play-Doh
I did a jam against all odds
And it was dedicated to Farmers Boulevard

Farmers Boulevard
Keep on
Farmers Boulevard
To the beat, y'all (Farmers Boulevard)
A funky beat, y'all
Yes, yes, y'all
You don't stop (Farmers Boulevard)
