| Up in the Bronx |
| What’s up y’all? How y’all been doin'? |
| It’s Kurt Blow and I just flew in |
| To let you know that I’m still number one |
| I did my job and my job is done |
| But sucker MCs are out there frontin' |
| Call themselves the kings but they really ain’t nothin' |
| I caught them perpetratin' at my show |
| Tryin' to chill out in the front row |
| That’s right y’all, his name is (Kurtis Blow) |
| We all know James is the king of soul |
| Chuck Berry is the king of rock 'n roll |
| I got to say that the Duke is the king of the swing |
| And when it comes to rap, Kurtis Blow is the king |
| But sucker MCs committin' a crime |
| If you don’t all hail when I say this rhyme |
| When I was busy flushin' rappers down the train |
| They were still playin' with choo-choo trains (Choo what?) |
| You understand what I’m sayin'? |
| Yo! |
| Yo! Save your love for number one y’all |
| So why does it got to be so damn tough? |
