Dub Aura - Rap Royalty (Narration By Dapper Dan) Lyrics

Yeah, you know son
You know um, It's things I need to tell you man, for real
Growing up in Harlem man
And trying to explain what it means to be growing up in Harlem man
And how it worked out is like I had to find out for myself
First, what made me who I was
And so when I think about the big picture like us coming from Africa, ya dig?
And once I got conscious of that, I said damn
All those who didn't go for it and stood up to what the
Situation was...
They stayed here in Harlem
Uh, Look
Swear this is rap royalty
I float by in that two-seater, it's coral leaf, Team Aura loyalty
Whole crew wrist in Audemar, that's how it ought to be
I'm about to kill the game, I know Pop will cover my lawyer fee
Don't tell me about your homies that rap
Cause honestly you'll need them all for me
And for what it's worth, ain't no affording me
Look champ, get a drink in your system, try to Nore me
Just know I seen it all a mile away, you like forgery
And I'm the real deal, Holyfield, real spill
Mmm... Man it's too much drip for this shit
They probably thought that I would get the ball and drop it... Like I still will
Now they see who got that feel-feel like oh you ill-ill
Fuck it, Let that beat knock
I play the deuce, Margiela toe on the Reeboks
They ain't want to see us here, type niggas' hoping we stop
They tried to build a wall but the whole time it was sheetrock
And then as a result of that, ya know
I noticed everybody, we had the Harlem Renaissance
Everything was happening here
Then when I noticed, I said hold on
Everybody wants to be like New York
But everybody in New York want to be like Harlem
For all the times they said "I won't", They got to pay me twice
We on them blocks you shouldn't play at night
I'll have them boys hit you nigga, Say goodnight
You hard hardly, I'm Bob Marley, the way I write
Cause I could Turn Your Light Down if I take it light
Oh this a stick-up, they'll never find us
'Cause all they seen in Prada sweats and the eyes cut out the balaclava
I'm Michael Jordan with performing, you just Harold Minor
Tell them I'm back, recliners, you cats vagina
They like "oh now he frontin' on us, we slept long but now he buzzin' on us"
It was grey skies but now I'm Dub Aurora
Ain't it crazy my soul clean? I'm from muddy waters
You ain't too sharp if you ain't notice ain't no cutting corners
This ain't for Netflix, really my life's a movie
I know I was a jeen yuhs since lunch boxes and coodies
Now the flow Ye' raw, Since I would play the hallway in the Great Wall
They finally let me in, time to play ball
Ya know, I say we set the pace
And that's what make Harlem what it is
So that's what I owe to y'all man
I got to break that down to y'all so y'all understand
Everything is built on strength platform, that's why I'm telling you man
Everywhere wanted to be like us but they didn't know they all us
Ya dig? It's just that once we got here together
The juice start clicking, you understand?
That energy start moving, ya know?
So we everybody right, and as a another result of us being everybody
Now everybody want to be like us
Ya dig?
This conversation I'm having you...
It releases a whole lot of stuff that I had to go through fighting this battle man
You understand but this is the best part
This one is on me

Yeah, you know son
You know um, It's things I need to tell you man, for real
Growing up in Harlem man
And trying to explain what it means to be growing up in Harlem man
And how it worked out is like I had to find out for myself
