ASHERU - For Old Time's Sake lyrics

rate me

Coolin' in the shade, yeah

To all my emcees, djs, b-boys and writers

Pullin all nighters tryna make it right

Consider this a salute from yours truly,

Asheru, the human beacon speaking truth to light

It's about that time, it's about that time to get paid

{While you were sleeping}

It's about that time, it's about that time to get paid

Coolin' in the shade, yeah

To all my emcees, djs, b-boys and writers

Pullin' all nighters tryna make it right

Consider this a salute from yours truly

Asheru, the human beacon, speaking truth to light

Just keep doing your thing and represent for your culture

Don't let nobody misrepresent you

Like these cats who would rather you dumb your shit down

For the masses than to rock for the intelligent few

Sometimes I feel like we need a new definition of the words that define us

Music that we love, maybe it's just because I got too much ambition and

Wanna be more than just a thug in a club

I traveled all over the world, wined and dined and had a good time

With folks of every color and hue

From my different conversations and combinations of experience

I been able to change my worldview

Hip hop is a universal language

We all speak fluently and shapeshift to fit congruently

Started in the Bronx around the same time I was born

And now look, it's a worldwide community

Built upon the foundations of peace, unity, love and havin' fun

Word to Zulu Nation

Cause these'll be the same principles that I'm a hand off to my son

{I'm MC Asheru, know what I'm sayin, do it for old time's sake}
