The Bridge Is Over by BDP (Boogie Down Productions) from their debut album Criminal Minded (1987)


LYRICS! :


Intro:

I say, the bridge is over, the bridge is over, biddy-bye-bye!
The bridge is over, the bridge is over, hey, hey!
The bridge is over, the bridge is over, biddy-bye-bye!
The bridge is over, the bridge is over

Verse one:

You see me come in any dance wid de spliff of sensei
Down with the sound called bdp
If you want to join the crew well you must see me
Ya cant sound like shan or the one marley
Because shan and marley marl dem-a-rhymin like they gay
Pickin up the mic, mon, dem dont know what to say
Sayin that hip-hop started out in queensbridge
Sayin lies like that, mon, you know dem cant live
So i, tell them again, me come to tell them again, gwan!
Tell them again, me come to tell them agaaain
Tell them again, me come to tell them again, gwan!
Tell them again, me come to te-ell them
Manhattan keeps on makin it, brooklyn keeps on takin it
Bronx keeps creatin it, and queens keeps on fakin it

Verse two:

Di-di di-da, di di-di, dida di-day, aiy!
All you sucka mc, wont you please come out to play, cause
Heres an example of krs-one, bo!
Heres an example of krs-one
They wish to battle bdp, but they cannot
They must be on the dick of who? dj scott larock
Cause, we dont complain nor do we play the game of favors
Boogie down productions comes in three different flavors
Pick any dick for the flavor that you savor
Mr. magic might wish to come and try to save ya
But instead of helpin ya out he wants the same thing I gave ya
I finally figured it out, magic mouth is used for suckin
Roxanne shante is only good for steady fuckin
Mc shan and marley marl is really only bluffin
Like doug e. fresh said I tell you now, you aint nuthin
Compared to red alert on kiss and boogie down productions
So easy now man, I me say easy now mon
To krs-one you know dem cant understand
Me movin over there and then me movin over here
This name of this routine is called live at union square
Square, square, square, ooooooooooooooooooooooo
Whats the matter with your mc, marley marl?
Dont know you know that hes out of touch
Whats the matter with your dj, mc shan?
On the wheels of steel marlon sucks
Youd better change what comes out your speaker
Youre better off talkin bout your wack puma sneaker
Cause bronx created hip-hop, queens will only get dropped
Youre still tellin lies to me
Everybodys talkin bout the juice crew funny
But youre still tellin lies to me
