[Verse 1:] I wanna take you way back to when a girl on a mike's worth Wasn't determined by the length of her skirt I mean way back to creativity, before MTV before BET I mean way back before recycling shit, when the props that you got was for your writing and shit Let's rewind before the hype when you used to be low key To be a singer you had to actually know key I mean way back to before people made a job of seeing who's best at impersonating Bob I mean way back to when you sweat blood on every line To get one good song didn't cost sixteen ninety nine To be considered deep you had to actually say stuff And if it wasn't good disc jockeys didn't play stuff I mean way way, Marvin Gaye way back, and I pray that you will
[Chorus:] Come with me, let us journey past this melody Give us room to exercise our minds Take you to another place another time, better hooks better rhymes Stronger lyrics every line, you could even press rewind Come with me, let us journey past this fallacy Give us room to exercise our minds Take you to another place another time, better hooks better rhymes Stronger lyrics every line, you could even press rewind
[Verse 2:] Well it's ironic that the chronic that I smoke got me singing shit that's bionic every note That it's affecting my judgement is what some people would hope But I'm not tripping, I'm on a journey, come along now let's float I used to be excited going to the record store, but these days I stay pacing the floor Somebody please take me back to when the artistes were poor Cause when they made less they gave us so much more Let's take it back to a ballroom, cloudy microphone' Smokey Robinson, Nina Simone James Brown was still occupying the throne when the songs weren't sold off videos alone Way back to when a star attitude wasn't defined by somebody being rude To when it was a pleasure definitely not a task To greet a fan with a smile and sign a damn autograph I mean way back to before you used to drive the Maybach You dreamt about a mil but never made that When you made some shit that we could play back I mean way back to a whole 'nother time, further back than your grandad's hairline I mean way back, wont you say that you will
