| [00:00.30][Intro] |
|
| [00:00.48] |
Classified: Man, remember tape cassettes? |
| [00:01.83] |
Mic Boyd: Tape cassettes?! |
| [00:02.49] |
Classified: I remember goin into record stores, gettin so excited |
| [00:05.73] |
for that new album, you know? |
| [00:07.08] |
When you got it, is was like nothin else mattered |
| [00:08.64] |
Mic Boyd: Oh yeah, yeah, I guess, you had to pay for that sh*t |
| [00:11.07] |
Classified: Yeah man, it's not like that anymore |
| [00:13.44] |
Kind of feel, kind of feelin like damn |
| [00:15.33] |
When they used to say they don't make music like they used to |
| [00:17.64] |
(The way it used to be) |
| [00:18.27] |
Mic Boyd: No, I see what you're sayin man, I see what you're sayin |
| [00:20.16] |
Classified: Check this out, look, yeah |
| [00:22.14] |
Mic Boyd: What you got? |
| [00:22.83][Verse 1 -Classified] |
|
| [00:23.37] |
My, my, my, my dad says they don't make music like they used to |
| [00:27.54] |
And nowadays there ain't no record store to root through |
| [00:30.33] |
We upload and then we viewin it on youtube |
| [00:32.97] |
Digital to Bluetooth, I see why that confuse you |
| [00:36.00] |
This day and age, sh*t it's hard to tell who's who |
| [00:38.79] |
So many artists, every week you hear a new group |
| [00:41.61] |
Maybe it's me or possibly I got a screw loose |
| [00:44.28] |
A raisin short of two scoops but we don't do what you do (do, do) |
| [00:47.22][Verse 2 -Mic Boyd] |
|
| [00:47.91] |
Now-now-nowadays when I turn on the radio (yeah) |
| [00:49.74] |
It's like they take the same old song and play it out (true) |
| [00:52.92] |
Might be your favorite now but hated in a day or so |
| [00:55.59] |
Here today, gone tomorrow, that's how the saying goes |
| [00:58.62] |
The oldies were timeless and classic (that's right) |
| [01:01.59] |
Music now is models and actress (ah naw) |
| [01:04.44] |
Who we pay to ogle they asses (yeah) |
| [01:06.90] |
Never liked metal but still prefer it to plastic |
| [01:09.42][Chorus -Classified] |
(Mic Boyd)-w/ad libs |
| [01:10.53] |
My dad says they don't make music like they used to |
| [01:12.75] |
(Oh no they don't, no they don't, no they don't) |
| [01:15.03] |
And my crew says they don't make beats like they used to |
| [01:18.39] |
(Oh no they don't, no they don't, no they don't) |
| [01:20.49] |
You know what I-I think?It's just the music that I'm used to |
| [01:23.82] |
(It's what I'm used to, It's what I'm used to) |
| [01:26.22] |
I need my headphones louder, louder, louder, louder, louder, louder, |
| [01:30.15] |
louder, louder |
| [01:31.35][Verse 3 -Mic Boyd] |
|
| [01:32.04] |
From machines with touch screens, this must be the future |
| [01:35.22] |
One man band all recorded on computer |
| [01:38.01] |
Cue race tape walkin Pro Tool users |
| [01:40.89] |
Felt the effects and overused Auto-Tuners |
| [01:43.32] |
If you can't hit the note, then hit a switch |
| [01:45.78] |
Artists can't get the picture and end (*Auto-Tune voice*)"singing like |
| [01:49.11] |
this" |
| [01:49.53] |
Sounds like robots are takin our jobs |
| [01:51.93] |
While these same record labels keep on payin 'em off |
| [01:54.15][Verse 4 -Classified] |
|
| [01:54.69] |
Now have you ever thought about the old records we were proud to play |
| [01:57.90] |
(yeah) |
| [01:58.08] |
And if you heard them for the first time nowadays?(yeah) |
| [02:00.99] |
Would we give the same props, same amount of praise?(nope) |
| [02:03.54] |
I highly doubt it, hey it'd probably sound out of date (yeah) |
| [02:06.51] |
Or maybe life nowdays kind of cloud our taste (yeah) |
| [02:09.36] |
And hearin old tracks takes us back around the way (woo) |
| [02:12.27] |
Yeah, still soundin great, off that outer space |
| [02:14.97] |
Without a trace, leavin eardrums bent out of shape |
| [02:21.00][Chorus] |
-w/ad libs |
| [02:30.42][Outro] |
(Sample from "Back in the Day"by Ahmad) |
| [02:38.58] |
Classified: Yeah, the records that I play (back in the days) |
| [02:41.97] |
Mic Boyd: You know the clothes that I wear (back in the days) |
| [02:44.61]Classified: Haha, hey yo people![she know just how I feel] |
|
| [02:48.15] |
Classified: When? |
| [02:48.90] |
(Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore)(*echo*) |
