- Fresh Fest tickets, who needs tickets?
  We got your tickets right here
  Fat Boys, Run-D.M.C., Whodini
  Yo kid, you're lookin for tickets, you wanna go to the show?
- I don't get it
  How you scalplin tickets in Brooklyn?
- What, what you say to me?
- Ah, shouldn't you be in front of Madison Square Garden?
- You want tickets or what, little pooh-put?
- I don't need tickets cause one day I'm gon' be on that stage
  Watch

(Before we go any further)
- Got them Fresh Fest tickets, who needs tickets?
(Now the world knows my name)
- Got 'em right here, who needs 'em
  Get 'em now before they're gone
  Tonight, live at the Garden
  Fat Boys, Whodini, Run-D.M.C.
  Your last chance
(So I be on the Fresh Fest)

I just wanted to be large, large like Whodini
Cause fame for my name on the train in graffiti
Wasn't good enough, maybe I was bein greedy
But I thought I could be on TV
Fact is, Mike Jack' set in on fire
But I moonwalked with a umbrella six months prior
In my school talent show, white gloves lock-tickin
We was in the park poppin like hot chicken
I was on the block tryina get my name known
And be the hottest in the hood like Flame-on
Or maybe just the best in my building
Competin with the rest of the children
Let the crowd judge who the winner is
They can be so cold like the winter is
But mama always said, 'Have no fear'
And I will rise to the top like a cold beer
So I rehearsed my lines on the F Train
Them Boys famous, why should I have less fame?
The Freaks came out at night and they stayed out
Without a doubt I refuse to get played out
I had a Big Mouth, would not shut it up
I can prove I'm the best, just set it up
I feel like it's me against Jalil
All I gotta do is show the world my skill

(It started with a dream
Now the world knows my name
I just try to be the best
So I be on that Fresh Fest
You had to have skills
To get a record deal
You had to be the best
To get on that Fresh Fest)

I just wanted to hear my song on 'BLS
Couldn't care less about a brand new CLS
I ain't had my license anyhow
Fat Boys had a show and made 20 thou
Wow, you could get paid like that?
And all I gotta do is spit a tight rap?
I think I got a few lines on stash
Then I could have the rap game on smash
Them boys better make room
Cause I could formulate a great tune
Yup
Peter Piper picked peppers and Run rocked rhymes
I bet I could get known with one hot line
I bet I could get on with one hot song
I just need a beat like the one Run rocked on
Or, yeah like Flash, so I could be the best dressed
Yes yes, then I'd be on the Fresh Fest

- I think I wanna start usin the name Ace
  Yeah, I like how that sounds
  Cause one day I'm gon' be on that stage, watch

(Started with a dream
Now the world knows my name
I just try to be the best
So I be on that Fresh Fest
You had to have skills
To get a record deal
You had to be the best
To get on that Fresh Fest)
