sir diggy - long island era lyrics

[intro: sir diggy]
aight cl-ss listen up
open your textbooks to page 631, chapter 17
we gon’ learn some history
dig, icerocks (ayo)

[verse 1: sir diggy]
i’m on the 495 fallin’ back in time
this for every single rhymer who defined long island
dug in the archives and studied the archetypes
from suffolk to n-ssau county, the areas ill minds
it was 1986, my parents exchanged vows
eric b. searching the sticks for the best rapper around
who could rock a crowd, knock ’em down, lyrically sound
y’all know the outcome, rakim allah was found (uh)
follow the leader through these lines and meters
little reason to keep reading if you non-believer
when media needed people to scapegoat and blame
they set aim at the best, chuck d., flav and the gang
enemigo numero uno, government to the flame
yo! bumrush the world, ’87 the stage
still three years away from ’90 and dig’s entrance
history to be continued, verse one, final sentence

[hook: sir diggy]
it’s long island era forever (legacy intact)
let a enemy fire at us (let ’em meet they match)
strong island from a new generation
salute the og’s who laid the foundation
(2x)

[verse 2: sir diggy]
let’s bring it back to ’88, erick sermon, parrish smith
craig mack in brentwood, where my grandmas had they kids
where janie peddled a bike down on orient ave
dad over on 4th street, 17 when they crossed paths
jvc force doin’ damage, provin’ the island was strong
wasn’t till ’89 when south bay waters would warm
dave, pos and mase made the tidal levels rise
a whole three feet higher than scientists ever surmised
are you still surprised? welcome to the isle of kings
if you not convinced this is where our riot begins
i’ll bust a rhyme like trevor, clever, word to the new school
doom, prodigy, ll, markie had ties too
if i’m honest i’m on next, always pay your respect
and better prep for the test when it’s boondock context
as the road comes to an end, leavin’ the h.o.v. exit
i owe roc marci a salute, the reigning king of the present
i got next

[hook]

[outro: sir diggy]
ayo, dig
icerocks, what up man
it’s the long island era, man
forever
let this one ride out
shout out all the emcees i mentioned
without them there’s no me
salute
