Where is that shit?
|
*tapes rattle*
|
I know it's on one of these tapes
|
|
Verse One: Nouka
|
|
On the bus, rollin to the crib
|
I would get dibs on the seat with my man OJ
|
and rock beats from LaMerte, Park to 81st
|
When I, got home, this was first
|
I plugged the headphones in, then catch the break
|
Fourteen with the system, I was like great
|
on the, turntables, I turned labels
|
Back and forth then pushed stop on the tape
|
Then down the street, to 81st, place the kid
|
with the fat face with the fat case for sale
|
Ten dollars, if you was known
|
I put the turntable down for the microphone
|
|
Chorus: repeat 2X
|
|
I used to sell, mix tapes, but now I'm an MC
|
I got the rhymes and beats, I used to rock them tapes
|
|
Verse Two: Nouka
|
|
Back up at World O' Wheels with the rap contest
|
I used to try and get mine cuz I thought I was fresh
|
I liked LL and Shan with my Roxanne rhyme
|
It might sound wack but it was dope at the time
|
Then it progressed with styles of the I-Fresh
|
MC's like Ganjah K and the rest
|
Post Meter, with the pause mix cut
|
Rockin Southwest College tearin it up
|
Money, really wasn't part of the rap
|
Paid, was havin people start to clap
|
Gettin ready for the break, your heart starts to race
|
You was hyped, cuz I could see it on your face
|
Yes yes, the beat is like fresh
|
Plus we had the moves, that make the party move
|
And those were the dues, without makin papes
|
Damn I should go back, to sellin mix tapes
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Verse Three: Yusef Afloat
|
|
One to the two, four and eight
|
Hit the rewind and move and turn the black plate
|
Get you a tape, watch the crew wreck and
|
spin the vinyl til it melt and get a phat new casette
|
across the West y'all
|
Spin around with the sound and get choice
|
while the clear voice rock from the ground
|
Stereo, it's all in the jam
|
Plus tricks that fixes styles through mixes
|
If you're soft, beginning to end, you can't win
|
Let the DJ freak pause then run it again
|
While you're listening to the hit, it's nice can't you tell
|
That the two are steady bringin till we swell
|
|
Chorus
|
|
"Pull the new school tape from out my rag"
|
"Man I, man I, quit sellin (tapes)
|
|
Yo what's up? I just wanted to give a shout out
|
to all of those who was down back there when I started
|
Back in eighty-four and eighty-five
|
Yo I wanna give a shout out to my man Yusef Afloat
|
To my man Ganjah K, Aceyalone, J-Sumbi, we out
|
|
