100dBs - Long Time feat. Ryan-O'Neil lyrics

rate me

Long time, you know how long I’ve fought,

Think about that

It’s been a long time, but I’m back, Jack

Rappers must have thought I got the axe

But if they knew their facts

They heard that I went back to making tracks

Plotting on a way to make sacks

I was going through some whacks

Started thinking back but realizing

Nowadays everything is outta whack

A couple years ago, if you had a … you knew how to rap

Now you gotta lie and sell yourself crap

Or sing whack hops, that shit it’s a whack look

Order tune, you ought to prove like Sam Cook

But you cancel

Yeah, I took a chance with this dance track

Usually you fall back if you can’t rap

That ain’t the case though, ask your fans

They know, you just lost your value like the peso

I ain’t got much but I’m rich ‘cause this song is mine

You ain’t heard some dope shit in a long time

Long time, you know how long I’ve fought,

Think about that

It’s been a long time, hope you missed me

Things done change, everything is strange, what a shame

I ain’t even tryin’ to find blame

I used to say fuck fame, what a dumb fuck

Found out this game is 50% dumb luck

One look and it’s clear, there’s no real rappers in here

Our duty cleared, it’s been some sort of mix up

What happed to rapping with your fists up?

Flavored …beamers and chuck he’s not, but he’s hot

That’s just the nature of the game, hah?

Well I did burned canes so I can’t complain

Rhymes complex, no Dick and Jane

Quick, let’s think, who should we thank?

I always had a thing for the Wu Tang Clan

Yeah, and Biggie Small … Brown

Half of y’all take a pause for a long time

Long time, you know how long I’ve fought,

Think about that

It’s been a long time, did you miss me?

Remember back when dudes were really rapping?

What happened to voices that were smooth like satin?

Guru brought the world Mass Appeal, rock on reels of steel

Now all I hear about is swaging

I’m just clapping for cats like … and Pete Rock

Dougie Fresh taught me how to beat box

When I was rocking Reeboks and blue Wallabies

Brooklyn zoo, come follow me

Wish I could see what I wanna see

Yo, honestly, I’d pay top bill to see Run DMC and Hollis Queens

What a scene!

Yeah, it must have been crazy in the ‘80’s, now the babies are running things

Yeah, but it’s like we lost our way, how come the hottest shit is back in the day?

That ain’t productive, let’s step it up kids, get on your Sound Hound

It’s been a long time
