Let me take you back to the day when MC's were short And rap wasn't treated like a little league sport On this, "Mom I wanna rap when I come of age" And every MC could control the stage Remember back then, after the backspin Before everyone who's a fan was rappin Back when every album had a classic track And if it was on sale then the shit was wack Back when on Tuesday you could find me at the Wherehouse Every new release on one receipt (You remember it man?) I remember it well Back when Rick the Ruler was still locked in jail Back a half a decade, when everyone had a fade And I taped every video that Rap City played Before Black Sheep broke up, L.O.N.S. broke up The Soul Brothers broke up, Tribe broke up We were all smoked up, big East coast fam Before Jive became focused only on boy bands Before Rawkus, Fat Beats, Bad Boy or No Limit Before I had a chance to come out independent When "Unsigned Hype" was a sign of who's next Before rap artists saw six figure checks Back when, major labels were screwin MC's and Nirvana and Pearl Jam ran MTV When a group put an album out, every few years Back when people made music for the listeners ears (You remember it man?) It wasn't too long ago Before we were old enough to go to a show It was just before all the major labels merged Before rappers started usin scientific words Back when rap fans had a common bond If I heard a beat, I could name the song Before every damn track was about a par-tay And Fellowship resided on 4th and Broadway When I used to lay in my bed with my walkman on Listenin to mix shows 'til the break of dawn Back when rap was half mellow, half thug Just before the mainstream, was controlled by Suge Before Biggie got shot, before 'Pac got shot Back when rap was different than what the mainstream thought Before Hilfiger knew, we were wearin his clothes Before beats took importance over lyrics and flows Back when Common loved rap, and I did too And every group or MC was a part of a crew Before everyone was preachin on the five elements And music in videos had no relevance Before the reunion of Guy, and EPMD Remember when we all had a favorite MC? Cats had personality in the last chapter Let's bring it back to the charismatic rapper One two, testin one two Alright party people in the place to be The party has already started, and it's about to end.. [scratched: "rap is outta control"]
