In the beginning, in the beginning In the beginning, in the beginning I'd like to dedicate this one to the Brooklyn Posse My brother Dynasty, Reby, MC Boo, Larry La Rock, or, Murder! Committing murder on the scene Rock jocking the spot Doing the sweet chief big rock in the house On down ladies and gentlemen It's the one and only But you can call me Ecstasy We've come a long way, baby We've struggled through thick and thin And if I had to do it over again It would be with you, my friend 'Cause one thing when I look back A little further down the line All we're gonna be able to say is that it wasn't always that way In the beginning, against all odds We didn't rob but still we went to school And we always kept a job And one thing it taught me, I'd like to mention Is that a good education did for me What Lipton did for tea Now, I'm not bragging, that's not my style Because with me it's always service with a smile And baby doll, from that point on I knew Rap would be my tool So I kept on working at it Trying to improve, you see When I was just a little boy My daddy sat me on his knee And he told me about the fact of life While whispering to me He said "Son, if at first you don't succeed A little bit of practice is all you need Because after you start, you cannot quit You've got to commit yourself to it" Because I wanted to be point guard, first string On my high school basketball team I didn't really want to go to school Just play basketball, that's all I couldn't go to prom with my phys-ed teacher So I tried to get close to a fly cheerleader But that didn't help my marks at all Because in every subject I took a fall So I tried to get back up on my feet I even stopped hanging out in the street I worked 'til seven, by ten o'clock And every morning I was ready to rock I'd eat two bowls of Frosted Flakes And then I had to break out, so I wouldn't be late 'Cause the earlier bird always catch the worm And I figure it's just about my turn In the beginning, in the beginning In the beginning, in the beginning In the beginning, in the beginning In the beginning, in the beginning In the beginning, in the beginning
