Title: Back in the Day
Beat: Elite Mindz
[Verse 1 - Emoshun]
Remember back in the days all I use to have was a/
Radio shack mic now I'm rollin 2 G's//1
Deep in production; Emoshun is the name/
Emoshun be the dopest flowin' like a ocean//2
I spit bars of flames while all you other emcees/
Are playing video games; never did I//3
Use to stay on beat now bring heat to the streets/
I don't do this for the money or b*** es or the fame//4
Doing this for the love of the game; used to be/
A wack cat now I lace track after track//5
Back again to make my mark in history/
Refuse to be a mystery; if I live I live to//6
Suceed even if it means to bleed/
Internally I'm at the point of no return if I turn//7
Forever will be buring in the flames Of hell/
Well man I'm putting my time and dedication in the game//8
[Hook - Emoshun]
Remember back in the day when we felt so neglected/
Didn't have sh** now ghetto kids lifes are reflected//1
By the lyrics that we spit every night/
We came along way and it will never end//2
[Verse 2 - J-DraGoNz]
Yo, I remember back in the day when this mic was just a mystery/
Another Asian emcee trying to make it in this industry//1
Spittin' these flows about my life and my stressin'/
And then this microphone suddenly became my form of expression//2
To let everybody know about the world through my eyes/
The pain that's inside and all of the tears that I cried//3
F*** the fortune and the fame; this sh** 's more than just a game/
Rappin' is my life, it's what I do and what I claim//4
It ain't fake, hip hop is my life and who I am/
And if you ain't feelin' me then I really don't give a damn//5
Cause I rap for myself; not for the praise or the wealth/
But to let the ones that can relate know the way that I felt//6
Know the way that I melt when I see that special someone/
The hate that was dealt when my rappin' just begun//7
I just started to flow,
and now a whole years gone by/
And I'm still tryin' to elevate and reach for the sky//8
[Hook - Emoshun]
Remember back in the day when we felt so neglected/
Didn't have sh** now ghetto kids lifes are reflected//1
By the lyrics that we spit every night/
We came along way and it will never end//2
[Verse 3 - Leon]
Back in the days; just rappin' away/
Passin' a flame; put my passion on a page//
Before I found rap I used to drink and smoke/
Kick stupid frees and think it's dope//
Had to switch my flow when I was rhymin'/
Was told that mattered more then the thoughts behind it//
So feel me or not I'm never gonna stop/
Not doin' it for you; man, this ones for hip hop//
And for everyone that ever talked behind my back/
Who say I can't rap just cuz I don't sound black//
You can diss my voice or my mic skills/
I don't give a f*** cuz I'mma spit and write still//
But I'll admit it; sometimes I'm insecure/
Not sure of myself and what I'm doin' it for//
But I'mma keep flowin'; hates my motivation/
Ya'll can't stop this asian from reachin' cultivation//
[Hook - Emoshun]
Remember back in the day when we felt so neglected/
Didn't have sh** now ghetto kids lifes are reflected//1
By the lyrics that we spit every night/
We came along way and it will never end//2
