Take It Back
Chorus
Before the 64 track, making beats with a Mac
We used to do a little something with this thing called rap
So take it back, take it back, take it back, take it back.
Before the music was known all across the map
We used to do a little something with this thing called rap
So take it back, take it back, take it back, take it back.
When Cyndi lauper did the shebop, I was doing the Beatbox
I kept those beats hot, wearing the pinstripes and Reeboks
I used to keep candy for the little sweetharts,
Who loved the street art, banging out the nearest speaker.
The Bass would reach ya. Four woofers, two tweeters
Whoever won the dance off was the leader. I used to see the
little kids on the strip doing back flips
Off trash canisters, hallway banisters.
Dam if I could go back, go back to the Heart-
Ford Connecticut, It was in Bowles Park
Where I let flows spark, I paired up like Noah's Ark
Nowadays rappers got no art, no heart
Show no part, The Industry a loan shark
Playgrounds turn into cold parks.
So if you really love rap, represent the track
Take it back, take it back, take it back
Before the 64 track, making beats with a Mac
We used to do a little something with this thing called rap
So take it back, take it back, take it back, take it back.
The Souls of Rap Folks
The Souls of Rap Folks, we need you please pass hope
They say that hip-hop's on its last rope
If you don't believe its time to cast votes
Let's just look at what happened to black folks.
(Repeat)
I write this for the youngsters, the punksters,
the wanna be monsters, the all heart no hunger.
Wonder what happens when your not prepared
Cashed in the silver coins, broke now you outta here
A rapper makes it, a thousand didn't
I remember when hip-hop was forbidden
And emcees were counselors, down with blue collar
hood scholars, and even hustlers had honor.
Some kids imitate, think that they older
Finger paint crime, write rhymes with Crayola
Smoke weed for a weak, and now you O.G.?
I'm a tell you like a cat once told me.
They may let you pass through
But they'll smash you, if they have to.
Reduce your nuts to crumbled cashews
Step out my way when I pass through
Stop living off of Red Bull and fast food
So again I ask you.
The Souls of Rap Folks, we need you please pass hope
They say that hip-hop's on its last rope
If you don't believe its time to cast votes
Let's just look at what happened to black folks.
Repeat
Do you write?
Do you write about romance,
do you write about romance,
do you write about romance,
do you write about love?
You claim to represent the name, its a shame
that even with fame, we can't reclaim the game
We act like we afraid to be in love again, understand?
It should feel like a summer jam, the other plan
Once called for liberation, Zulu Nation
Now the music sells medication
of the streets
they try to thug the beat, drug the weak
Claim to love the heat, but
once they speak, you can tell, what they really seek
Build a reign, from cocaine
At least thats what they are saying
I've seen so much death that its got me praying:
"Watch out for family, remind of my legacy
Save all the brothers, locked in the penitentiary
Bless all the children that my work has sent to me
And to My Parents, when you talk to God, don't forget to mention me,"
Thanks for reminding me of my destiny
It took a while but it was meant to be
It was meant to be.
Seize the Day
Chorus
I don't care what people say,
Whatever image they portray.
For those that try to block our way
We'll always seize the day.
Live from the killing field, children of the corn get scorned
No more beans and rice, Similac Child born
Turn to another way, help a mother get paid.
Where the brothers play, and the rubbers lay
Need it in the worst way, pick up a cursed trade
Catch my child tongue kissing in the first grade.
They get straight Cs, I don't even see straight
Barely read and write, only numbers and dates
Way my packages, see how fresh my shit is.
My child's my only witness and hope out of the business.
Leave the game alone, but the money is tremendous
Keep my agendas, don't have to pretend this
endeavors gonna last forever, that I'm too clever
To get lock up, or Glock(ed) up, my new girl knocked up
The man thinks he can out box us
Keep your fist tight nothing can stop us.
Bridge:
If you can dream it up
Build you a team to trust
If you believe in us
we can do anything!
Frisco Wind
Three Voices in Syncopation too create a rhythmic effect
Voice 1 |Breath | | Breath Out |
Voice 2 |Breath In | Breath Out | Breath In | Breath Out |
Breath Sound: |Ha Ha Ha Ha| Ha Ha Ha Ha| Ha Ha Ha Ha| Ha Ha Ha Ha|
Since we're running out of time, and i'm trying to reach the streets
I'm speaking through the beat, you should set it on repeat
Another hurricane is coming, and you want to retreat
The Frisco Wind, just blew in the heat
I know this tracks on fire, and my beats don't lie
But the world's so cold, it makes a grown man cry
And I can't sit by and watch these kids get high,
Off the mix tape hype, or the get rich lies
The My Space craze, fake profile page
Just a pawn in the game, another Murdock slave
Brave enough to reach but not enough to fall
Let's end the speculation, I'm talking to all yall
Even those that really ball, feel me dog
Stop acting like a silly broad.
We've come a long way but what's its really for
We got all the weapons, but you ain't ready for war
We ain't ready for war!
