Remember when they used to
Rip it up
Tear the place down, When the sound and the crowd go whoa
Rip it up
MCs were like wow
Girls went out Ow, Fellas went Ho
Rip it up
DJs spun the bun
Everybody got down to the break of the drum
Rip it up
Remember when
Something's missing
Even kids are reminiscing
Your ladies in the kitchen
And the old folks wanna listen
To something real again
Haul it up and wheel again
Bring in something else
That we can feel again
Like the all-dayers and weekenders
Carrying pen and paper just to get the girls number
Scrub jams, good times sound, rap attack
Mastermind, Richie Rich, can't forget Chris Nat
Groove Sales Chart with wire at the back end
Pause mixes and we're spooling the tape back in
Troublesome kids, nice as we ever did
On the grifters and the choppers
Pulling willies and skids,
We banging dustbin lids, running from the pigs
If you drove a Capri round the end you made it big
Channel 4 dropped, TJ brought me in the crew
KAOS was the name
And back then we used to
Rip it up
Tear the place down, when the sound and the crowd go whoa
Rip it up
MCs were like wow
Girls went out Ow, Fellas went Ho
Rip it up
DJs spun the bun
Everybody got down to the break of the drum
Rip it up
Remember when
Travel zones were 1, 2, 3, ABC
No barriers, just cards, you hardly ever paid the fee
Video's futuristic
No one knows what's best
You rockin' Beatamax
Or you're rockin' VHS
It never made the BBC
It made Girls FM
Or it made DBC
4 Star General
Soul 2 Soul, much to remember
Hitman, Red Records
Honest Jon's Dub Vendor
I learned the rope from heavyweight cats
Real to real acetate
Vinyl and DAT
10" dubs cut for the Acklam Jam
Markers in my jacket
As I rock the mic stand
Calls from the phone box
Meet by the shops
No one talked about getting shot
We thought vinyl cost a lot
At three pound or less we half inched a few
From Tower Records
Cause back then was when we used to
Rip it up
Rip it up
Tear the place down, when the sound and the crowd go whoa
Rip it up
MCs were like wow
Girls went out Ow, Fellas went Ho
Rip it up
DJs spun the bun
Everybody got down to the break of the drum
Rip it up
Remember when
I do recall so very well
When I was just a little boy
I used to hurry home from school
I used to always feel so blue
Because there was
No mention in the books we read
About our heritage
And for any information
Or any real life education
We had to tune in to the pirate station
Thank you B*m a*d t*e Z**u N****n
For showing us true peace
Unity and love
And having fun
To show our appreciation for your support
Thank you DJ
Rip it up
Tear the place down, when the sound and the crowd go whoa
Rip it up
MCs were like wow
Girls went out Ow, Fellas went Ho
Rip it up
DJs spun the bun
Everybody got down to the break of the drum
Rip it up
Remember when
Remember when
Thank you DJ
Rip it up
Tear the place down, when the sound and the crowd go whoa
Rip it up
MCs were like wow
Girls went out Ow, Fellas went Ho
Rip it up
DJs spun the bun
Everybody got down to the break of the drum
Rip it up
Remember when
Thank you DJ
