Kielce ([ˈkʲɛlt͡sɛ] [kee-ELT-sa]; Yiddish: קעלץ, Keltz) is a city in south central Poland with 199,475 inhabitants (June 2014). It is also the capital city of the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship (Holy Cross Voivodeship) since 1999, previously in Kielce Voivodeship (1919–1939, 1945–1998). The city is located in the middle of the Świętokrzyskie Mountains (Holy Cross Mountains), at the banks of Silnica river, in northern part of the historical Polish province of Lesser Poland. Kielce was once an important centre of limestone mining.
The area of Kielce has been inhabited since at least the 5th century BC. Until the 6th or 7th century the banks of the Silnica were inhabited by Celts. They were driven out by a Slavic tribe of Vistulans who started hunting in the nearby huge forests and had settled most of the area now known as Małopolska and present-day Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship. The lands of Wiślanie were at first subdued by Bohemia, however they soon came under the control of the Piast dynasty and became a part of Poland. According to a local legend, Mieszko, son of Boleslaus II of Poland dreamt he was attacked by a band of brigands in a forest. In the dream he saw a vision of Saint Adalbert who drew a winding line which turned into a stream. When Mieszko woke up, he found the Silnica River whose waters helped him regain strength. He also discovered huge white tusks of an unknown animal. Mieszko announced he would build a town and a church to St. Adalbert at that site. According to this legend, the town's name Kielce commemorates the mysterious tusks (kieł in Polish).

Skillfully tested
rythmically possessed with rhymes
and when it was time Jah gave me the mike
after he blessed it
he said share the lovin
prepare tehm for the second comin
beware of false prophets
cause they got my people bummin
but put on the full armor
you know these fools are gonna wanna
talk behind your back but stay away from the drama
and you know that im'a
keep you safe inside the palm of my hand
cause you da man
and that's word to your mama
so give it to 'em
it's themeselves that they foolin
got ahead of the game too quick
what they lack is old schoolin
you know who's who
wether or not
i'm talkin to your crew
it's up to you to keep it true
nuff respect due
dem test me crew but dem can't get with this.

Your styles been played and im alrady sick of it

Original rude boy

They dime a dozen
can't understand why all the fussin
known for talkin loud but they really sayin nothin
with every word you poison my mental concept
negative be the topic somebody's gotta stop it
and clear their minds
and continue to come alive
cause he love
