INSIGHT - Time Frame lyrics

rate me

Well what we're dealing with is music, music, music

So many categories styles and ways that we've used it

To keep you in tune with the sound track as the mood switches

Emphasizing emotions to amplify the notion thus

Electrocute it

I execute it so it's therapeutic

Innovation improves it but never abuse it

Leon Scott found a way to rotate a plate on a pin

Creating tracings of vibrations made while it spins

Time Frame

1877 to 1876

Using this Thomas Edison improved a bit

See he invented a machine that played a two-minute disk

After Bell invented the telephone in '76

Time Frame

After World War I a wide range of signs came

Music retail was a wise aim

In the early 20s blues defined the game the time frame

That black music was segregated and jazz climbed to fame

From pop philosophy you know get the lock and key to grow

From any prophecy truth grows

See many comedy duos like Harris and Harris recorded rhymes over blues beats

In 19 two 3 like Kool Keith bugging on looseleaf

To introduce heat we use speech

Eighty years ago they used what we now know as hip-hop to move streets

Time Frame

Now or never power measured by violent terror

Allowing a sense of the vibe that ties it together

As clever interventors found treasures to make the world better

Working under pressure to step up aggressors were searching to get an edge up

On the opponents

With these components ease the soul with the poet that captures the moment

And adds the exponent of madness in motive and after the focuses clear

Why you here?

?Yo it's a cycle of fear?

Time Frame

The modern era weapons, constant fear and questions

Bombs prepared for testing

So in these times songs share a blessing

Long before you hear confessions

Respect the moment, check this lesson

A year after the first stereo phonic LP

In 1958 improved sound led to high fidelity

Astronauts explore the moon incredibly

For the first time in the next decade of the century

Malcolm X and Dr. King were both assassinated

It acts of hatred that aggravating folks, immaginate it

Hope lacerated though at last we made it through fractures

And grave pits finding hobbys to escape in

Mr. Rock and Peewee Dance practiced creating

Freestyle maneuvers that would later be known as breaking

Time Frame

One year after the Cold War

Political thought was captured in radical folklore

Nixon resigned in 1974

About the same time James Brown was on the Flames Tour

US left Vietnam and made off three years before

Scratching was discovered by Grand Wizard Theodore

July 1980 hip-hop's first national news story and on ABC

In 82 came the cd in 83 Ad the the Technics

SL 100 MK2 was released

DJs increased faster than folks knew the passion was global

Three years prior the nuclear accident in Chernobyl

Businesses used COBAL and biophysics

Fused with robiotics in experiments back in 1986 too

Creating the vibe for me to demonstrate dope facts

Discussing debatable concepts to quote back

88 was so fat and that is a known fact

Self-destruction and yo mtv raps

Captured the inner city spirit you heard it and now you see it

Believe that it's reaching out representing the youth

Speaking out as a voice of the streets reaching out

Odds were evened out

We rap when it's hard to speak about things the local news were leaving out

Rhyme writers would feel it out out, speaking clout

Weaker speakers be seated deleted and weeded out

Political bouts leads to problems that's bleeded out

I'm teaching now so see me out

Insight's free to shout

Other's they deal in doubt

Remember that the worlds always under pressure and music can ease it out

Time Frame

Listen, crime and pain signs of the dying age

Time Frame

Check it, mind games designed to define fame

Time Frame

Liers reign, control and power is the prime aim

Time Frame

Rhyme games though the art is a crying shame

Time Frame
