Boogie Down Productions - Exhibit A lyrics

*clapping, barking, and somebody yells "Yo whassup??!"*

[Lawrence Krisna Parker]

One two

Rap music, what does it mean

What is everybody in this industry for

What is everybody, buying rap for

Why do people get involved, in rap music

Rap music number one, is the voice of black people, number one

Number two, it's the LAST voice, of black people

Black people have created every music you hear out here in the streets today

Every single music, rock and roll down

Therefore; in a situation that has, all African music in it

All African music, uhh, exploiting itself of it, or coming out of it

All African influence in all it's music

And you have what is called American Music Awards

You have what is called theft

And what I would like to bring out today is rap music

as, a revolutionary tool in changing the structure of racist america
