Listen as I separate homies from phonies.
The Unsigned Korean-American Phenomenon
Leanin' and rockin'....I'll leave that to the sell-outs.
Story behind the song
I had to do something for the friends [family] that never turned their back on me.
Lyrics
"Rewind Time"
Wrote, performed, recorded, and engineered by:
Eric Smead aka Split
Produced by: D.M.M. for Rebels of Art (R.o.A.)
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Espeeliyte D.M.M. back again
Yo
The melody captivates my mind, and when it's combined
with my rhyme, I shine to the audience.
No fraudulence when I'm givin' this out.
I just speak my thoughts about livin'...miss out
and you'll get lost. The fire inside my chest melts the ice
around me, evaporates the frost.
I freestyle nowadays 'cause I'm done writin'.
No longer do I bust guns 'cause I'm done fightin'.
Yet, still, I protect myself, detect these selfish haters
that wanted to try to diminish my health, uh.
I just play stealth 'cause they can't see me.
Bustin' and bruisin' these b!tches like we playin' "BB."
I try to keep it real with those that keep it real with me
and for the people feelin' me. Ya' feel me?
So I gotta give back to y'all.
Y'all the ones that held it down, never let me fall.
And I might not mention ya' name, but y'all know
exactly who you are, so check it, here we go, yo.
For everybody that rides for me, I rides for you.
You side with me, I side with you
through thick and thin 'till the storm passes over us homie,
'till the day the Lord decides that it's over for us homie.
Even then, I'll never leave ya' lonely. Hold ya' down,
turn that smile upside down, get rid of that frown.
And now I'm talkin' in the singular tense, but still,
this goes for everybody that was keepin' it real
and who continue to do so, 'cause some of y'all won't.
Ever since I came back, man, a lot of y'all don't
even look in my direction when you see me out and about.
But I don't stress it. I ain't even 'bout to shout
and waste my breath. So, back to the crew I rolls with.
Thank you for never tryin' to control Split
and showin' this kid love. And I love ya' back.
My girls gimme hugs; my dudes gimme daps.
And it's like that; that's how it goes.
My friends are my family, my sisters and bros.
The rest of y'all gonna watch from the sidelines
as I continue to grind until I shine,
'cause me and my family will do so in due time.
And if you don't get the rhyme, hit rewind.
