Uptown - Lets Take It Back lyrics

Hook [ Uptown ] Lets take it back to the old days when we use to do it the old way Lets take it back I guess I have to clap some more cause I don't know what they rapping for Lets take it back Lets take it back to the old days when we use to do it the old way Lets take it back I'm about to tap your jaw cause I dont know the you're rapping for Verse 1 [ Uptown ] Uptown and I'm at it again, explode with pen Here to separate the boys from the men Lyrically I'm as bad as I been Just google me n***a and you'll see all of the work I put in Its not as many who can f** with the boss Still Dope On Plastic but I don't f** with Dante Ross Tommy Boy I was living a dream but it became my nightmare But they can look up and I'm right there I'm the epitome from Hamburg to Italy No matter what they spit at me they can't get rid of me They try to get at me, co*k and hit at me Flipping the whole rap game, sleep with the enemy And that's a penalty that f** with me mentally And I'll take out a friend of me or even a kin of me You want the end of me I won't pretend to be Liking that bullsh** funny style you sending me You didn't know you better ask a n***a Uptown will hold it down and quick to blast a n***a I've grown in a zone of disaster n***a Uptown will never answer to a master n***a...Lace up Hook Verse 2 [ Uptown ] Remember De La made Me Myself and I I was down with Tommy Boy representing the Stuy That's way before R.Kelly knew he can fly And the hottest sh** out was Groove Me by Guy Oh my my my I can't compute cause someone in the company was stealing my loot Every record that they played every beat that I looped Every dollar that I made was still unre-couped On top of that n***as who was knowing the game Was putting my words in they name collecting the fame Matter of fact I didn't know this or that And my publishing was making all my enemies fat I should have known that I would lose all my ends When the company and lawyer was the best of friends But still i tried to make the best of the deal Got in the Battle of Supremacy ready to k** I knew that I will Damage them with average sk** So I gave a little more than they can feel and yo that's real I was laying them down like rugs I had the speed tongue way before the Bones and Thugs In the final rounds it was Freshco, me, and Serge Going at it and only the king would emerge After that I can't explain all the pain that I felt That was the year my label mate won my belt the cards was dealt Hook
