Boogie Down Productions

Boogie Down Productions was a hip hop group that was originally composed of KRS-One, D-Nice, and DJ Scott La Rock. DJ Scott La Rock was murdered on August 27, 1987, months after the release of BDP's debut album, Criminal Minded. The name of the group, Boogie Down, derives from a nickname for the South Bronx section of The Bronx, one of the five boroughs of New York City. The group pioneered the fusion of dancehall reggae and hip hop music and their debut LP Criminal Minded contained frank descriptions of life in the South Bronx of the late 1980s thus setting the stage for what would eventually become gangsta rap. more »

All over the world... 
Chorus: 
Black drug dealer  you have to wise up 
And organize your business so that we can rise up 
If your gonna sell crack then don't be a fool 
Organize your money and open up a school 
Verse One: 
Drug dealer  understand historical fact 
Every race got ahead from sellin drugs except Black 
We are under attack  here comes another cold fact 
In the 30's and 40's a drug dealer wasn't black 
They were Jewish, Italian, Irish, Polish, etc. etc. 
Now in 90 their live's a lot better 
They'll sell you a sweater, a pair of pants cold hearted 
But first sellin drugs and killin people is how they started 
Drug dealer, black and Hispanic, stop killin one another 
Cause in the ghetto we're all brothers 
Organized economically, understand the psychology 
America is the drug monopoly 
They own the block and kill your brother for 
Therefore, we got the same enemy - what's more, I go on tour 
But who do you think picks up the bill? 
A hard workin fireman? Chill 
Repeat Chorus 2X 
Verse Two: 
Eighty percent of American business is created illegally 
This is a fact I don't ask you to believe in me 
If you're really in the drug game to win it 
Eventually you're gonna get shot, open a clinic 
Again, if you're really in the drug game to win it 
Invest in a prison, therefore you can be put in it 
Everyone else did it now they chillin 
Above the law, while your under the law still killin 
One another, wake up my Hispanic brother, my African brother 
America's not your mother 
Or your father, so don't bother with right or wrong 
Just check out the logic in the song 
Organize, realize, become unhypnotized 
To the lies that your livin for the get high 
See many people have forgotten the fact 
That America was never ever built for Black 
So when some people are gonna run and buy crack 
Take the money and put it back into Black 
It's only logic, see KRS-One will rock it 
With knowledge, education for the people Ill never stop it 
Organize and legitimize your business 
Remember, everybody else did this 
Repeat Chorus 2X
