Band of the 15th Mile
Lyrics
It starts on Staten Island, up through Brooklyn and into Queens
For the physical test and the trial and the quest
For the band at Mile Fifteen
You take a hard left onto Twenty-Fifth
Feel the pounding of the rebel beat
Feel the rush and the high as you dance on by
The power on Crescent Street
'Cause we're the Band of the 15th Mile, boys
The Band of the 15th Mile
Kick 'em to the plaza with a rebel song
And leave 'em in a joy-strewn pile
Well they come into the city and they never knew what hit 'em
But they'll feel it for a long, long while
Shouting to the people fifty thousand strong
The Band of the 15th Mile, boys
They say if you can make the Big Apple you can make it anywhere
So we grab it by the throat, make it howl with every note
In all honesty it just ain't fair
Bringing muscle from the Glass City to the heart of the NYC
And they never had a chance when they start to shake and dance
To the power of KRC
We're the Band of the 15th Mile, boys
The Band of the 15th Mile
Kick 'em to the plaza with a rebel song
And leave 'em in a joy-strewn pile
Well they come into the city and they never knew what hit 'em
But they'll feel it for a long, long while
Shouting to the people fifty thousand strong
We're the Band of the 15th Mile, boys
It starts on Staten Island, up through Brooklyn and into Queens
For the physical test and the trial and the quest
For the band at Mile Fifteen
You take a hard left onto Twenty-Fifth
Feel the pounding of the rebel beat
Feel the rush and the high as you dance on by
The power on Crescent Street
'Cause we're the Band of the 15th Mile, boys
The Band of the 15th Mile
Kick 'em to the plaza with a rebel song
And leave 'em in a joy-strewn pile
Well they come into the city and they never knew what hit 'em
But they'll feel it for a long, long while
Shouting to the people fifty thousand strong
The Band of the 15th Mile, boys
They say if you can make the Big Apple you can make it anywhere
So we grab it by the throat, make it howl with every note
In all honesty it just ain't fair
Bringing muscle from the Glass City to the heart of the NYC
And they never had a chance when they start to shake and dance
To the power of KRC
We're the Band of the 15th Mile, boys
The Band of the 15th Mile
Kick 'em to the plaza with a rebel song
And leave 'em in a joy-strewn pile
Well they come into the city and they never knew what hit 'em
But they'll feel it for a long, long while
Shouting to the people fifty thousand strong
We're the Band of the 15th Mile, boys
