ziplock freshhh – “loose tape” lyrics
[verse 1]
i can remember the first time
i jotted my first rhymes
down on them dotted lines
couldn’t had been older than 9
on that project bench, kicking rhymes to my friends
zone out while i tell you how my story begins
this was all circa 1995 ya see
suicidal when my pops took my nas cd’s
nigga found my whole stash
threw em all in the trash
because the stickers said parental advisory
i really almost lived and died for this hip-hop shit
20 years before i was on my ziplock shit
man it was love at first sight when i laid eyes on the mic
i had the p-ssion for rappin i started laying some tracks
on my high speed dubbing, dual c-ssette player
2 tapes, one played the beat the other record what im sayin
first time i heard my voice on wax, i smiled ear to ear
what i wanted to do with my life, i knew then and there
[chorus]
{have you ever?}
been in love with something that’s invisible
you cherish it but you can never hold it in the physical
{have you ever?}
have a memory so magical
you hate thinking ’bout it ‘cuz the past ain’t coming back to you
{have you ever}
gotten caught up in the moment
when ya mind start roaming
on them times and what they meant to you
{have you ever?}
gotten lost in nostalgia
reminiscing on the best times from ya childhood
{loose tape distortion}
you ever have loose tape on ya favorite c-ssette?
had to tighten it with a pencil
by twisting it thru the middle
ever cut out parts of your favorite songs for instrumentals?
got like 30 seconds worth that was perfect for you to spit on?
did you have the portable cd player back in the day?
with the anti skip protection that still skipped anyway?
[verse 2]
in high school instead of taking notes down
lyrics got wrote down
cuz bringing weak rhymes to the cypher would get you roasted
we cutting cl-ss, third period niggas posted
on the radiator next to the lockers gettin’ it poppin
lunchtime better bring ya punchlines
hard to find a seat
we deep taking turns freestyling to the grindin’ beat
afterwhile we started naming crews and shit
me curtis and lil chris was the boxcutta clique
we grown now niggas got cribs cars and kids
but till this day when we link we got bars to spit
[chorus]
{have you ever?}
been in love with something that’s invisible
you cherish it but you can never hold it in the physical
{have you ever?}
have a memory so magical
you hate thinking ’bout it ‘cuz the past ain’t coming back to you
{have you ever}
gotten caught up in the moment
when ya mind start roaming
on them times and what they meant to you
{have you ever?}
gotten lost in nostalgia
reminiscing on the best times from ya childhood
