[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*)
