Intro music
Play that shit like you just got your motherfuckin'... * It all began in '94 Kept on rolling in '95 The pieces were in place in '96 It came to an end in '97 Now it comes, and here we go K-O-F is here again Nothing's gonna stop 'cause it's nineteen ninety-eight !
* : The first line was censored in the non-encrypted version (kof98h). The V ROMs are identical so they still contain the sample, only the M1 ROM was modified so that the sample is no longer triggered during playback.
