Instrumental for the track "Retrothought" from the Legion of Heroes album "United By Fate, Divided By None". Straight up "Livin' Proof" parody.

Straight up hip-hop production, funny stuff
The Cybertron Sound. Just what is that, one may ask? Ask the one who coined the term, and he'll tell you, it's a state of mind, a time and place that can't be recreated, a time to which people wish they could relive. When you hear it, you just know you're back in those times. The collection of tracks you'll find here are bits and pieces of the The Cybertron Sound's greatest fan's take on the original creations, for personal projects. Just who is the man? No one knows; he goes by a ton of aliases. For the sake of simplicity, just call him Dr. Claw. Hardly anyone knows where he's really from, however it's safe to say he's a "Cybertron" native. Whatever the case, he's a man who seems to have a whole lot of time on his hands, enough to bring The Cybertron Sound to your home.

Story behind the song
This song is a straight up, yet serious parody of the Group Home track "Livin' Proof". Like all Legion of Heroes songs, they took a "Group Home" format. However, this song talks about the much-neglected social pressures within the two MCs home country of Japan, and how conservative ideals could end up doing more hurt than good. This beat was done in 1998, one of the best of my "beats" of that time.
Lyrics
(Sho-Dawg): Time to put this bat down, stop and open my eyes Take a long hard look and address what I despise Every day I read the news and I hear of these fools WIth some effed up views, they must've lost a few screws Some of these people I can't believe what they say The third world, isolation and it just sounds gay I don't care if what I said ain't politically correct These people open their mouth and don't know nothin' about The world we live in today ain't the Tokugawa era And we'll never clean up if we can't keep it all together Try to keep things at peace so we can all live nice But these people break it up with their continuous gripes Try to say outside influence is the decline of society They get in my ear and I think they all lie to me I'm tryin' to play ball, so why should I even care What happens here ain't got nothin' to do with what's over there Leave people alone, do your thing, don't discriminate Because when you're givin' hate, you'll be gettin' hate Backwards thought makes me wanna break a neck You call yourselves "right", but you ain't correct (B.I.): Polite words and gestures conceal racist faces People that could be so base ain't got no place in my association/They're not only a disgrace To my people, they efface the entire human race Whether it be subtle ostracism or blatant defamation Hidin' hatred only debases the entire effin' nation There's a quick resolution to the situation we're facin' Elimation --- take face saviors and erase them Revolutionaries, I just call 'em actors So-called facts are wack, always tryin' to move ass backwards Representative of the crap that they practice Put zero trust in any of these crack-sniffin' bastards Speak to me of modern-day feudalism More often than not you're met with pugilism Mission -- not to diss tradition but to unlearn what was taught Dissect the nation and remove the cancerous part (The retrothought) Chorus (Strider's Scratch): "I don't believe in none of that shit, your facts are backwards" (Nas, "Represent") "Kick The truth!" (Inspectah Deck, Wu-Tang's "C.R.E.A.M.") "Unlearn what was taught" (Jeru The Damaja, "Tha Frustrated..") "I don't believe in none of that shit, your facts are backwards" (Nas, "Represent") (B.I.): Where I'm from, you're not a hero sayin' "Fuck the old guard" Flip the bird at tradition and get chased by a mob That's the exact reason why I write this rhyme/Not to put my life on the line or waste my nation's time This is a head-on assault of the minds Of those who define bein' a lone wolf as a crime Also the school of thought that contends isolation from the West will put all negative trends to an end/Challenge your intellect, you call it disrespect Your thoughts are retrospect, mine are introspect We all don't want to be clones of society drones But I'll touch upon that later, take me out with the fader DJ Strider (Scratch): "I don't believe in none of that shit, your facts are backwards" (Nas, "Represent") (Sho-Dawg): The only thing I gotta ask is "What the fuck's going on?" We'll never make number 1 if these people keep frontin' We'll only fail at what we do if we can't get along Remember we shot up to the top pushin' up outta nothin' So many people speak as if they were on crack Through a prejudicial eye without any facts People keep lookin' back, cause they say things are strange But if you look under the surface things are still the same The only thing that's changed is the face of the game And the players involved, but the rules are retained Keep hangin' on to the past and you'll just get lost It's time to stand on our own, and point out our own faults People talk about the war but it won't happen again Unless you really want it to, we'll lose a valuable friend They're quick to gas you like petro, with thoughts that are retro Chorus (Strider's Scratch)
