Or someone else that you will see. They’re trying to lead YOUR destiny. By the time you think about it you’re grown, then you say Goddamn I’ve gotta lead my own. Grab hold of your heavy chain, which people always pulling always trying to restrain. You heard just what I said. They’re always pulled you back when you wanna get ahead. They pull you back because they’re not Winning. You’re talking about school. They’re talking about quitting. Soon you’ll see that time will fly, but you spent most of it out getting high.” - MC Shan “THE BRIDGE”
Nah it didn' bruh, Marly Scratch was Shan's debut summer 1985… The Bridge came out the next summer 1986… Then it dropped on Shan's album Down By Law in 1987… 💯
Im checking in from Strong Island NY the 🏡 Rakim, Public Enemy,Dela Soul,EPMD, Craig Mack, Biz Markie, Grand Daddy IU, Method Man, Keith Murray, and Roc Marciano just to name a few of L.I. icons. During the 80s we use to havr New Cassel Day in New Cassel Park in Westbury Long Island NY and when the neighbors Dj played the Bridge by Mc Shan the whole hood and people from all over Long Island lost their mind when this iconic timeless record came on. The Bridge is a certified Hip Hop classic told by a Hip Hop icon himself Nas. The Bridge spit out some iconic Mcs and Mc Shan and Nas are both from that rich tree of Hip Hop the Bridge birthed.
I listen to that classic song every day...I remember this grand slam when I was a teenager... Inspirational and powerful.....now your sucking on a bone when it could have been steak..
