mr. every day and the past life - i remember lyrics

[intro: mr. every day]
you know hip-hop ain’t like what it used to be
i missed them old school days when hip-hop was pure lyrics over dope beats
i wish could i could take it back

[chorus: mr. every day]
i’m taking it back to the days
the hip-hop craze
back spins, dj’s
graffiti was the wave
fly jumpsuits and spittin rhymes all day
we did it for the love
‘n n0body got paid
i’m taking it back

[verse 1: mr. every day]
i was a baby in the old school when i learned my first jewel
my cousin zig taught me the streets, he was a old school dude
during that time, you could lose your life just for grabbing the mic
your lyrics had to be original, ya flow mad tight
ya get booed if your rhymes was whack, gear had to be phat
thick laces in my shoes was the style wit a kangol cap
couldn’t fake like you was down, dem real cats would expose you
even the females was dope, i ain’t even gon’ hold you
we had the best beak dance crew that ran the block
tee ski terminator / dr. i / l god & the box
i was the terminator, ya know, determined to be much greater
when djs was ill on fader, rest in peace roc raider
jsp, poetic justice to az – u – r
even before the past life, i knew i’d be a star
i missed the mix tape era when we record on tapes
before a tribe called quest taught us that the industry rapes
and now they vapin’ the ganja / back then it was bong hits
milly rock took the place of backspins and dope kicks
saving the best for last / sometimes we skipped cl-ss
on the way to the arcade you know we had to run fast
when the truant officers came (we be given ’em fake names)
back in ’86 it was for love and the fame, i’m going back

[chorus: mr. every day]
i’m taking it back to the days
the hip hop craze
backspins, djs
graffiti was the wave
fly jumpsuits and spittin’ rhymes all day
we did it for the love
‘n n0body got paid
i’m taking it back

[verse 2: rhythmic syns]
yo i remember / flip flops and socks
dope man / cl-ssics / same name as reeboks
bust mah head tryna headspin / frigidaire box
u wasn’t sh-t u wasn’t on the block / poppin’ and lockin’ and plottin’
on ya neck fresh dance move / but when ya hit that dance ooo / ladies gotta ask / who rockin’
ay yo / parachuter pants move better than ya mans who brolic in the girl jeans / stop it
let’s bring it back to the days when waves came from caps
and n-ggas trapped for ways / out the trap in a daze
now they trapped in a maze
alotta these modern g’s trap for praise
before the bubble gum popcorn clockaz got a leg up
pac was tellin’ locked n-ggas keep they head up
pimp c was tellin’ n-ggas keep they bread up
and kool j was tellin’ yo b-tch keep her legs up

[chorus: mr. every day]
i’m taking it back to the days
the hip-hop craze
back spins, djs
graffiti was the wave
fly jumpsuits and spittin rhymes all day
we did it for the love
‘n n0body got paid
i’m taking it back

[hook: rhythmic syns & mr. every day]
go! go! go!
lets take it back!
