Jeff Davis - It's On Like That lyrics

(Jeff) On like a mix tape since the fifth grade It didn't take long to differentiate From the Kris Kross to the Kid Frost To this white boy with the big nuts I'm remember when I was building my rep Standing on deck with no microphone check Writing my songs to any beat I get Like writing along on my BMX Scratching up my dad's vinyl home alone Going through needles like Dee Dee Ramone The sh** didn't work so I went with words For that look on your face, ‘cause the truth liberates And I wanted that, I still do Every time I wrote a rhyme my thesis was proved Mobbing with the headphones, filling up the headroom Look at my notebook, the odyssey continues (Chorus) It's on like that, that So own it, flaunt it Chase it like you want it It's on like that, that So own it, flaunt it C'mon and jam on it (Dino) Ain't new to the scene, or new to the block Been rapping since the days of the record shops And when a, record dropped I'd cut cla** to get in Line for a copy couldn't wait to play it I learned it backwards and front, every word, ever rhyme It was a hip-hop state of mind Walk down the block, you wouldn't skip a beat You heard the same song play on a different street Say man did you hear MC so and so? He said this, said that and wouldn't you know He wore a tracksuit and some shell toes A big gold chain and a powder blue Kango, ‘cause That's the way, it was, and went Send some love to those creators of fresh And at best we could keep, your spirit alive On a culture you helped to redefine (Chorus) X2
