Lyrics
Connect to the metro, pay my fare like the rest
Feeling retro, but no doubt at my best
Today's a standing tour of the city
From point A to point B, next to me, an old lady
And a dude whose shirt says "security"
It's a bit smelly, but today my only sanctity
Streams from an RCA jack attached to a box
In the pocket of my backpack
You gonna tell me that you don't remember Walkmans?
Even the cheap kind, no rewind button?
We had to flip it, fast forward, even became a pro at it
Chewing up your tapes, but you still kept in tow with it
Puts me in a lucid state
To hear the greats on magnetic tape
Somewhat of a ritual, like digging in the crates
And finding all the breaks, cut and paste in a loop
With an 808, DJ and MC
Got this industry like fate or simply gifted
Unlimited rhymes, universal
Got this vocal, born to rock the mic over a horn solo
Or dynamic duo with Premier for a deadly combo
Making music for the streets but on that next level
I remember
Never thought when it was played way back
That it would ever get remade, in fact
In a new way, a catalyst for a good day
Streaming from my backpack
Never thought when it was played way back
That it would ever get remade, in fact
In a new way, a catalyst for a good day
Streaming from my backpack
I got the main ingredient for a quest unknown
From a tribe down to ride or bless the microphone
I'm almost home, coming from the far side of town
Where they be passing you by instead of giving a pound
I want a touch of jazz, invent some shit like Jeff Townes
Where you can hear the chirp scratch in the background
Jazzy Jeff world renown like The Roots syncopation through sound
Future generations, the treasure to be found
Audio crackling 'cause my tape's near its end
Flip it over, let the B-side begin
I remember
Never thought when it was played way back
That it would ever be remade, in fact
In a new way, a catalyst for a good day
Streaming from my backpack
Never thought when it was played way back
That it would ever be remade, in fact
In a new way, a catalyst for a good day
Streaming from my backpack
I never thought when it was played
That it would ever be remade
Streaming from my backpack
I never thought when it was played
That it would ever be remade
Streaming from my backpack
