Statik Selektah - 1996 lyrics

[Verse 1] We smoking and drinking Me and Statik couple of friends of ours Scotty, B, O, Easy, Mo and Termanology The seminar's gotta be hip-hop I read it in the stars like astronomy, zip locks But I'm on parole, I can't piss hot Cause that'll get the kid locked We talkin bout these rappers That sold the n******gs who sh** flop My sh** hot but I never really got a chance to shine Turn back the hands of time You can see my plan to grind I speak to people who struggle Those are the fans are mine I tell'em life is a movie That n******gs can't rewind They love the fact that I spit With such a ferociousness Static was the best one Recording all of my vocal sh** You know the script was freezing When they was cold as sh** When the time stayed with a runny nose Cause my coke was my ripped And n******gs know that still Said I was poor as hell That's I rap and search vision Cause I got more to tell Could it been a offer? I pull a surprise winner Instead I hit the block I was starving to find dinner Young n******gs love the light Cause in dark you gonna find sinners On a bed just run in the park Like I'm Scott Brinner Cause I'm in a state of mind of a crime committer You shine and glitter Talkin greezy behind yo Twitter I'm on the front lunge of a war That you can't imagine Serious sh** no jokes Far from a n***a laughin We sit back and reminisce When the game wasn't about silly percentages I think we should take it back to the genesis I know all my real n******gs remember this [Outro] 1996 Back up in this n***a 1996
