[Intro]
Oh sh**
Illy, M-Phazes, Friday Flips #2
White strips, Seven Nation Army
f** you know Phazes is going to k** this one
I had some sh** written to this
I had to change it at the last minute
Pay homage to a legend
I don't mean any disrespect if I haven't done this well enough
Check it out
[Verse 1]
Fire up the DeLorean, hit the time warp
2012 Melbourne, 80's New York
Twist bottle tops, I don't pop corks
Mic is my tommy gun, pen is my sword
We could go to war, bum rush ya fort
Seven nation army couldn't hold us back with force
They all talk, so allow my retort
I do dirt but I don't get caught
Sell records but I won't be bought
Put that in your companies quarterly report
Kick raps till my voice is horse
Cool as a cucumber in a bowl of hot sauce
Rhyme reason and cause, I hold all cards
And to s**a emcee's its sabotage
[Bridge]
Just put your hands up high
And hold your lighters to the sky
And would you please make noise
This ones for the beastie boys
[Verse 2]
MCA R.I.P
Stay s**a free, I know it's all G
Cause I'ma tell you like a rapper told me
We all intergalactic planetary
But we losing our idols, times up, needle off the vinyl
Pray for an end a little less final
We seldom see timeless in this age of album cycles
Where bottom lines more vital than messages recited
They glamourise basic, for advertising space, and generations raised with televisions on
All the media portrayed with Chris Brown is basically you're able to hit women long
As you can sing a song
Mmm, nah, wrong, I ain't having that
Young girls hear of whips and chains in Rihanna's trash
And tough guy rappers say if you ain't a tough guy rapper
"You a f*ggot", Jesus caveman thanks for that
I'm fitting somewhere in the middle
Actually I'm to the side of it all, cause all they trying to score
Points off of is talk, but listen to what their saying
No substance, no thought, both sides the same
You don't need to buy into it, or give a sh**
Or think because its in your face, you gotta be interested
You don't, f** it, we all, choose
Cause while they profit, music loses
I was probably born a generation late
To the beastie boys party, but they still had a place
In my teenage life, so its only right I pay
My respects, to a caliber we hardly find these days
So rest in peace to the late MCA
Not saying he's a prophet, but this next clips from '98
f** the gloss and lollipop sh**
How many pop culture icons drop knowledge like this...
