Taking titles, breaking idols

Fresh styles we manifest

In Japan, it's "ichiban"
KRS-"Ichiban", number 1 rap song
You try to do it, and it turns out all wrong
You know why?
'Cause all the others specialize in plastic
Boogie Down Productions specialize in classics
Classical Hip-Hop, Reggae, Dancehall music
Industries rocked by BDP
So girls throw your hand in the air
Put 'em down, turn around, and move your bo-dy-dy-dy
