Lyrics
Remember the old days, rapping with ice beats? Or rapping on WinMx with no Mic or nice sheets Full of lyrics that you can spit and at least Get a head nod or spitting on beat Staying up all night till the sun comes up Spit it all night, till the pen is smudged up Do you remember those days, cause I know I do No one was in front I was standing beside you When you wrote crazy shit I was ready to ride too When we slowed it down I was ready to cry too It was like you was me and I was you Nothing could change that or divide us two So I invited to record at my house We together 24/7 til summer let out But even then we kept up with our game Never let a hater break us down, we still remain Do you remember those days? Thinking audios gon get us paid Oh lord how we changed our ways And the lyrics we say Making money for some nice beats Hoping we'd get up on our feet I looked up to you And you looked up to me We got older; a little wiser as the years come Looked out for each other when the fear comes We had some rough times but worked through it all Worked as one, so man together we fall Keeping our dreams alive is what we got in mind Now we learned that rap takes up a lot of your time But it’s worth it in the end when you see the prize Falling for no one, pride kept us alive Some ask us why we do it, other just don’t understand It’s not about the flow it’s the lyrics in hand That makes a mysterious man, come delirious man You could write a rhyme get accepted by a few Or diss the few and be hated by the crew It wasn’t a racial issue until you made it Cause we write better lyrics, yeah I know yall hate it We none in the community, cause we cant feel unity ::Chorus 2x:: Sometimes I wonder whats life without rap I put my heart and soul in it, comes out and get scrapped You don’t see the time behind the spit, what’s that You don’t get the lyrics that I get, that’s that So how could you judge us, for writing abstract? Let’s just call it music it don’t have to be rap Whats so big about me writing how I feel Just because it rhymes, now it’s a big deal? Unbelievable the times people stood in our way We told them to move, what else could we say We didn’t take shit from no man, man im my own man Up to our knees sinking like we in quick sand The mic kept us side by side Even being accepted by our peers we strive to be alive No pride inside should die, and im Just tryin to savor those times ::Chorus 2x::
