Cormega - Bring it Back lyrics
[Cormega - Bring it Back lyrics]
The listeners craved
To hear our camera's get caned, the rooftop
Where the dealers will hang, and bubblegooses
And sheepskins, and DJ's play the song cuz
They love the music way before producers
Were gettin' paid for beats
Marley Marl was loopin'
He made ya'll able to eat
And B-Boy's were battlin'
That stay key on Allington
After school we watched Good
Times and bust heroine
When Melle Mel made the Message
It was monumental not only was it dope
It also spoke on our issues
Like Public Enemy, my memories
Essentially ill
Like hip hop was meant to be, KRS-One
Audio Two treacherous Three, Fearless Four
Furious Five dr jeckyll & Mr hyde
When T La Rock was in his prime
He spit rhymes, like no one other in his time
When it came to gettin' fly, Slick Rick
Never improvise l Rock the Bells
DMC rocked Gazelles with Shells
Skill matter
Fuck ya rims and your record sales
Hip hop is Stetsasonic and Mantronix
Ultramagnetic, Schoolly D, and Bambaataa
When Whodini made "Friends"
It was well spoken
When Red and Magic had their rivalry
Radio was doper
Masters of Ceremony, Steady P, Dimples D
Then Just Ice, Latoya, hit the streets
Then we got the era of EPMD
The Juice Crew, MC Lyte, and BDP
Main Source breakin' atoms
Had amazin' rappin' and beats
Not basically sampling
Artist need to regain the passion
It doesn't matter if your chain is platinum
Itf what you say is average
You will not be mentioned
With the greatest rappers
Hip hop is like Egypt
Reduced from it's greatness to sadness
The industry's enemy troops that's
Invading our palace they steal our culture
Desecrate our sculptures and claim
The best rapper's the complexion of the
Roman leader known as Caeser
I don't believe 'em, I seek knowledge
The Brand Nubian
The soul of Pete Rock, the vibe of the Tribe
Heart of Gang Starr
The braves of Diggin' In the Crates
I'm Kool like Moe Dee, vocally I innovate
