lyrics

Now WHEN it first started
it used to be a party
Djs rocking the club graffiti artist
Mel had the MESSAGE Kurtis had the breaks
and there were many where this first took place
huh Cool Herc, Grand master Caz
man sometimes I wish (I) could go back
But we can NEVER go back co's time keeps going
But I rewind TIME from how I be flowing

You know it
like Kool Moe kid a poet
any era I show it
Hene's here and he's focused
the dopest like Rakim Allah composing
flows to get you open
and now you gotta quote em
The baddest thing since Daddy Kane
you glad he came to trash these lames
take back the game
co's they raps is whack they tracks it lacks impact
in fact these half ass cats need to relax

I relapse
thinking about ways of the 90s
that's the golden era re-member the beats they grimy
ya'll brothers know little cross colors
gimme the mic and I'ma educate folks
Krs-one, cypris hill, Fu Schiknickens
Tribe Called Quest for you pre school niggaz
Illmactic banging out the Walkman dig me
Ya'll swear the 90s only Pac plus Biggie

Drifting
into the 2000s wit me
new styles of ripping get a few thousand wit me
I do sound like history
if you recall, swizz beat roc that's what it was
Jay-z freeway beans the squad
Dmx would say what that shit was hard
Murder Inc. G unit money and cars
broads in videos 106 park
That Dip SET came pause, tho the era of floss gotta say they
had barz
as quick as it came then it was gone know some what it to stay
but time moves on

And you know that time moves forward
and things change if or not you want it
yeah
each era is a culprit, thinking that it's dead but
Hip hop is not over
Co's Hip hop is more than just spittin'
it's culture and culture is living
Although it may seem that it drifting
The saviour is here have no fear I am risen
Hip hop
