XV - Funeral Of The Tape Deck lyrics

Primo! You know I was thinking it would've
Been real dope if I could've
Just recorded this on like a
Dual cassette recorder but then
I was thinking, damn I can't
Upload it but, it's cool, i'll
Keep it simple though like two
Track or whatever yeah
Ya know with Donny Goines in here yeeerdig?

I got my Skee-Lo single my Nike box of tapes
Aa couple of new originals and
De La Soul's Stakes is High
And Ryan borrowed my Black On Both Sides
While I'm dubbing the color and the shape
In the mix come on at 8: 00
Index finger on that record button
Grandma got me a dual
Deck to record something
Blew the dust up off it
Hit pause on playing tunes
Sold my bike to my neighbor
Lock myself into the room
Told all of my dudes, got my demo coming soon
I even drew the cover
Resurrect the tape deck
Man I Used To Love HER she was like safe sex
It went out around the year 2000
I'm down for the future, that's what I do now
But what they did
The flame to our soul blew out
Now everything is fusible and
Digital is doable so please
Bow your heads at the tape decks funeral

The funeral of the tape deck
The funeral of the tape deck
The funeral of the tape deck
The funeral of the tape deck

The funeral of the tape deck my eulogy
Musically just describes how I'm missing the
Way it used to be and even though all the CD
Players ain't new to me
Usually I just reminisce of moments
Old school to me
Blank cassette in my tape deck
Recording them break sets
I couldn't wait to hear what they played next
When I was breaking my curfew
The tape it was purple
Way before they started playing commercials
A lost era in time
Back when there was rewind
I must admit I was a fan at the time
But things change and it's evident
That that era has died now irrelevant
My sentiments I'm sharing with pride
Because the generation now can't
See what I visualize
When it all epitomized the
Music all criticized
And now the culture of hip hop is minimized
May it now rest in peace why my nigga died?

The funeral of the tape deck
The funeral of the tape deck
The funeral of the tape deck
The funeral of the tape deck

I remember playing my tape so much those
Motherfuckers would pop walking
Down the block
To get that new Clue, that new Ron
G y'all too young for that
Y'all don't know about that man what up?
XV you already know donny Goines
