Interlude 2 lyrics

I been known out in the streets of New York
There's nowhere that I can go in New York and maybe the world that
Somebody would know Melle Mel anywhere in New York
I know everybody
I know businessmen
I know, I know wives, I know
Schoolkids
I know pimps, I know hustlers, I know prostitutes
I know everybody, everybody knows Melle Mel
Because I been around that long
I’m one of the first original rappers that ever said a rhyme
I'm a legend in my own time
And that's not something that I’m saying out of ego
It's the truth, I'm a legend
When you see Melle Mel it's like, it's like seeing Chuck Berry, when you see Melle Mel
It's like seeing Willie Nelson when you see Melle Mel
