For That |
| Before terrorism had arisen to fight |
| I’d stay up for the wake up show and i’d listen at night |
| Just to know what was officially tight, get it cassetted |
| Made my fat tapes while classmates sweated for extra credit |
| But me, son? |
| forget it, i achieved under |
| Now suckers shit bricks whenever i breathe thunder |
| But i wasn’t always down with what cool cats were doing |
| Couldn’t cop jordans, i rocked patrick ewings |
| Damn, i was a shoe-in for the nerdiest, |
| Four eyed geek who was the wordiest, but turned impervious |
| When the cipher got open, assholes stopped provoking |
| Quoting soul khan 'cause i was more than just a token… |
| …melanin deficient fellow with an eloquence and vision |
| Feeling them hello kittens but they were so seldom licking |
| Probably got you thinking, «damn, he’s attached» |
| But hip hop kept me afloat after the family collapsed |
| The panic attacked, my father didn’t plan to come back |
| But the boom bap never let my sanity crack |
| No the boom bap never let my sanity crack |
| Yeah, the boom bap gets mad dap for that |
| Hook: |
| If it wasn’t for the records you gave me |
| Don’t know which way that life would take me |
| The 1−2, 1−2 that raised me |
| I’mma play you 'til they crossfade me |
| I never thought i’d make song a for this |
| But here i go with a jawn for that |
| Here i go with a jawn for that |
| End of the day, i did it all for that |
| So even though i’m the golden era’s grandson |
| It ain’t fair to say we don’t compare to that one |
| I thought they called it the past, 'cause all of it passed |
| (can i kick it?) damn, i shouldn’t bother to ask |
| If it’s new, some of you won’t put your hands up to it |
| I love the old school, but i ain’t handcuffed to it |
| But i can’t keep just rapping about rapping without |
| Feeling a little vomit in the back of my mouth |
| Too much to address and the youth’s unimpressed |
| It’s hard enough today to speak to you in the flesh |
| To the youngins that are plugged in the subject we’re discussing |
| Remember that it’s more than just a mumble and percussion |
| It’s rats in the front room and roaches in the back |
| It’s two dope boyz steady posting in the 'lac |
| It’s bonita applebaum that we’re hoping to attract |
| And the boom bap gets mad dap for that |
| Hook |
