Joe Budden - No.1 lyrics

rate me

Joey!

Let's go back in the days before your present

Back when it was a little more pleasent

Before I knew this rap shit would ever lure me in

Let's go back like Mike Fox in the Delorean

Back in the day shit, back to the basics

When brass knuckles used to leave a nigga face ticked

Its back to the Diadoras and the Asics

It's back to the New Editon and The Take 6

I'm Number one, one, one, one

Damn it feels good to see hip-hop say its number one

Let's go way back if you able to do the math yeah

I'm talkin' bout the pool table in the cafe yeah

When the strip was introduce to Paruiqo

Commodore 64 and Coleco

Not back to Cali back to the valley

Back to dapadere yall back to Bally's

Back before Puma and Stange'

Before Zhane and go a little further back to Kwame

Damn we came a long way

I'm Number one, one, one, one

Damn it feels good to see hip-hop say its number one

I remeber break dancin' cardboards and backflips

the royal blue and the orange Patricks

wudn't like you homo sucka's

I had the low top Converse cause I could change my logos color

I remember way back when every clan was stylin'

Flava Flav clocks and X-Clan medallions

In class see a girl you glance at her

pass her a note do you like me? Circle a answer

I'm Number one, one, one, one

Damn it feels good to see hip-hop say its number one

Winters not the best time warm it up Kane had came through

The eight ball jackets and Columbia Rain suits

We ain't pay minds to the length of our chains

Transformers was a dance Decepticons was a gang

yall I'm talkin bout sheep skins

Talkin bout wearn two pair of jeans when moms gave me a beatin'

after school three o clock we was able to fight

park dibs yall two turn tables and mike like

I'm Number one, one, one, one

Damn it feels good to see hip-hop say its number one

What about when Public Enemy came out and they dropped a classic

or the Pee-Wee Herman and the Roger Rabbit

and the nerds took our tests and they passed em for us

back to the roof top back to latin quarters

the olds school's new school now it's the same ol

It's back to Fila's, gazelles and Kango's

It's back to 40 ounces back to OE

Not back to rope chains but back to Gold teeth

I was the class clown just snappin at cats

Let's go back to the (?) with the matchin' hats

Remember the Real Roxanne remember all (?)

Remember Kool Moe Dee remember Lord Finesse

I bumped Run-D.M.C. almost every weekend

The Bronx and Queensbridge just couldn't stop beefin'

Kept it on wax they ain't have to pack heat

Back to Ron Zee tapes back to Black Sheep

I'm Number one, one, one, one

Damn it feels good to see hip-hop say its number one

Come on say it with me

Im talkin' old Bobby Brown before he (?) Whitney

I used bring all my touys in the tub with me

A snotty nose kid eatin boogers

It was Ultimate Warrior and Jimmy Fly Snooka on

sometimes I read scriptures like Psalms maybe

and I didn't wanna go to church but my moms made me

TV made me laugh

I remember night rider cause Kit used to save his ass

Let's go back to spoonin' back to Black Moon and

back to when wrestlin' had it's own cartoon and

they used to sleep on us now they demand us

Will smith told parents they just can't understand us

back to playin the dozens

back to humpin' our prettiest girl cousin

psyche! I'm buggin.

NWA was simply known

Let' get back on the block I'm talkin Quincy Jones

I gotta Jones yall

I'm Number one, one, one, one

Damn it feels good to see hip-hop say its number one

Let's go back before I burned the booth

when Tevin Campbell was ill before the whole world learned the truth

Hip hop had a message then dudes was droppin

I never got what I wanted on back to school shoppin'

Think about, used to be about shit

That was back when I still got easter outfits

We all grew up all older folks

Its more than just music its a culture folks

We Number one, one, one, one

Damn it feels good to see hip-hop say its number one

Remember sugar water

what was the name of the fuckin' drink

that they said the fuckin triple K

The Klu Klux Klan and shit had put some shit in and

The black niggaz were gon' die - huh?

Whatever that was, you niggaz knew about it
