| Where is that shit? |
| I know it’s on one of these tapes |
| On the bus, rollin to the crib |
| I would get dibs on the seat with my man OJ |
| And rock beats from Leimert Park to 81st |
| When I got home, this was first |
| I plugged the headphones in, then catch the break |
| Fourteen with the system, I was like great |
| On the turntables, I turned labels |
| Back and forth then pushed stop on the tape |
| Then down the street, to 81st, place the kid |
| With the fat face with the fat case for sale |
| Ten dollars, if you was known |
| I put the turntable down for the microphone |
| I used to sell, mix tapes, but now I’m an MC |
| I got the rhymes and beats, I used to rock them tapes |
| I used to sell, mix tapes, but now I’m an MC |
| I got the rhymes and beats, I used to rock them tapes |
| Back up at World O' Wheels with the rap contest |
| I used to try and get mine cuz I thought I was fresh |
| I liked LL and Shan with my Roxanne rhyme |
| It might sound wack but it was dope at the time |
| Then it progressed with styles of the I-Fresh |
| MC’s like Ganjah K and the rest |
| Post Meter, with the pause mix cut |
| Rockin Southwest College tearin it up |
| Money, really wasn’t part of the rap |
| Paid, was havin people start to clap |
| Gettin ready for the break, your heart starts to race |
| You was hyped, cuz I could see it on your face |
| Yes yes, the beat is like fresh |
| Plus we had the moves, that make the party move |
| And those were the dues, without makin papes |
| Damn I should go back, to sellin mix tapes |
| I used to sell, mix tapes, but now I’m an MC |
| I got the rhymes and beats, I used to rock them tapes |
| I used to sell, mix tapes, but now I’m an MC |
| I got the rhymes and beats, I used to rock them tapes |
| One to the two, four and eight |
| Hit the rewind and move and turn the black plate |
| Get you a tape, watch the crew wreck and |
| Spin the vinyl til it melt and get a phat new casette |
| Across the West y’all |
| Spin around with the sound and get choice |
| While the clear voice rock from the ground |
| Stereo, it’s all in the jam |
| Plus tricks that fixes styles through mixes |
| If you’re soft, beginning to end, you can’t win |
| Let the DJ freak pause then run it again |
| While you’re listening to the hit, it’s nice can’t you tell |
| That the two are steady bringin till we swell |
| I used to sell, mix tapes, but now I’m an MC |
| I got the rhymes and beats, I used to rock them tapes |
| I used to sell, mix tapes, but now I’m an MC |
| I got the rhymes and beats, I used to rock them tapes |
| Pull the new school tape from out my rag |
| Man I, man I, quit sellin (tapes) |
| Yo what’s up? |
| I just wanted to give a shout out |
| To all of those who was down back there when I started |
| Back in eighty-four and eighty-five |
| Yo I wanna give a shout out to my man Yusef Afloat |
| To my man Ganjah K, Aceyalone, J-Sumbi, we out |
