Au commencement - Taktika

Au commencement c'était les maîtres de cérémonie

Un cypher, un beatbox, sans mélodie

Y’avait les graffeurs qui embellissaient les murs de l'école

Et les DJ qui faisaient même danser les boles

Y’avait les B-Boys, qui tournaient sur la tête

Et quand les 4 étaient réunis c'était la fête

C'était l'époque des block partys, et des afros

Sugar Hill gang, prenait New York d’assault

De hip, de Hop, de hip and to the hip hop

Naissait la culture la plus influente de notre époque

Yeah, c'était une révolution

La musique était en pleine évolution

On pouvait voir DJ Kool Herc en perfo

Hip Hop à l'état pur live de son berceau

On écoutait The message de Grand Master Flash

C'était bien avant que le rap, devienne une histoire de cash

Refrain T-mo et B.I.C 2x

Au commencement c'était le soul, un funky drum

C'était peace, love, unity and having fun

Au commencement c'était le show, le real hip hop

Je t’emmène début 80 dans les quartiers de New York

T-Mo

Au commencement c'était peace, le son était festif

Au saurait cru dans Star trek, tellement les fringues étaient stiff

In the beginning it was the masters of ceremonies

A cypher, a beatbox, no melody

There were graffiti artists who embellished the walls of the school

And the DJs who even made the boles dance

There were the B-Boys, who were spinning on their heads

And when the 4 were together it was a party

It was the days of block parties, and afros

Sugar Hill gang, took New York by storm

From hip, to hop, from hip and to the hip hop

The most influential culture of our time was born

Yeah, it was a revolution

The music was evolving

You could see DJ Kool Herc performing

Pure Hip Hop live from its cradle

We were listening to Grand Master Flash's message

That was way before rap was all about cash

Chorus T-mo and B.I.C 2x

In the beginning it was the soul, a funky drum

It was peace, love, unity and having fun

In the beginning it was the show, the real hip hop

I'll take you early 80's to New York neighborhoods

T Mo

In the beginning it was peace, the sound was festive

As you would believe in Star trek, the clothes were so stiff
