＂this is the place where stars are born＂

＂the bridge, queensbrigde＂

Y＇all *s love to hear the stories again and again

Of how it all got started way back then

See it was marly, mc shan, the juice crew

Queensbridge, hip-hop land, those *s blew (up)

Nobody said it started there

But some playa hater tryed to end a party there

*s didn＇t care they burned it, put it in the air

I took it personal readied up for warfare

Sh*t, yeah, what?

But time passed by, sh*t died out

But *s got paid off my hood no doubt

Now everybodies rhymin, other hoods start shinin

That＇s ahight ＇＇cause the bridge＇ll keep risin

＂you love to hear the stories again and again

Of how it all got started way back when＂

＂the bridge, queensbridge＂

＂screwball drops the illest *＂

And just when you thought things couldnt get betta

Nas dropped illmatic and let＇cha＇ll faggots have it

He brought the shine back, made the right contact

Had the whole world sayin ＂hey dun, rewind that＂ (rewind that)

*s from every hood felt the new vibe

The word spread quick, the bridge is still live

My dun went gold, then he went platinum

My *s mobb deep had the streets right afta him

Oh my god, *s off the hook now

Killing kids, in the bridge carry rap books now

Another chapter about to dominate

I guess it＇s just in our nature, queensbridge gotta set it straight

We on some kamikaze sh*t, moving at a cormega pace

Infamous mobb up in this rap race

This is the place where stars are born

Im＇a stay repin my hood until im＇a dead and gone

You still walkin through life like you was blind

Need you a lucy but you short one dime

Damn, thought about it, ten minutes later

Bumbed a cigarette going up in the elavator

Dead dreams, more than sold

You gotta to try and recieve ya goal

However you do it, however you may

Don＇t never listen to what nobody say, uhh

But you chose to lead that fate

Now you＇re sucking on a bone when it should＇a been steak (steak)

The whole purpose of the story I told

Was mainly to inspire you to reach your goal

Stop walking through as you were blind

You should reach for your goal ＇＇cause I＇m reaching for mine

You love to, you love to
