Lox - Let's Start Rap Over lyrics
rate me(Puff talking)<br />
See, I want to get back to the love<br />
Let's start love over, come on<br />
<br />
Chorus (Carl Thomas)<br />
Let's start love over<br />
Back to the way things were<br />
Forget about them<br />
Cause all we got is us<br />
We can make it<br />
Sad if we try<br />
I want to start love over<br />
Let's make it do or die<br />
<br />
(Stylez)<br />
When I was nine years old<br />
I realized there was a road<br />
At the end I would win lots of pots of gold<br />
Days, when I used to have my play clothes on<br />
I would make up my rhymes the middle of Voltron<br />
But you've learned what the herbs do<br />
Breaking curfew<br />
Hit the park when it's dark, make it stand like a podium<br />
Niggas had a box and a strip of linoleum<br />
Some break a boogie but those that don't<br />
Was usually a fighter<br />
Rollin' easy riders<br />
Sending people to the store for a soda and a lighter<br />
A real cool cat that would let you keep a dollar<br />
But now things change and it's the days of tomorrow<br />
Little kids is big now<br />
They'll push your wig now<br />
Can't send them to the store<br />
But you can send them for roll<br />
And put them on my vine<br />
And give them one big push for all mankind<br />
<br />
Chorus<br />
<br />
(Jadakiss)<br />
People still taking rapping for a joke<br />
A passing hope<br />
Or a phrase with a rope<br />
What ever happened to the caddies, white walls, and spokes?<br />
Crates of records, turntables, plenty of folks<br />
Remember playing in the streets, touch football<br />
Look y'all<br />
Somebody get mad and bounce with they football<br />
Twenty four hour block parties<br />
Everybody on the block pissing you a dark hardy<br />
Adults used to think I was scheming<br />
But I was dreaming to one day make a hot album and have 'em all fiendin'<br />
<br />
Now everytime that I rhyme I can tell that you like it<br />
Be nursing the tunes like the mind of a psychic<br />
Your mind is weary, floating like a dove<br />
Sweating and things, like you were making love<br />
Control the crowd so they can accept it<br />
Total concentration is the perfect method<br />
<br />
Bridge (looped while Puff talks)<br />
Where's the love?<br />
Somebody tell me<br />
Where's the love?<br />
Because we want to know<br />
<br />
(Puff talking)<br />
I remember everybody I loved, everybody<br />
It wasn't always player hating<br />
There wasn't jealousy and all this envy<br />
It was the love<br />
<br />
(Sheek)<br />
Ayo hip hop<br />
Set out in the park<br />
What?<br />
We used to do it out in the dark<br />
All night long till the cops made us go<br />
Or till somebody's moms pulled the extension cord from the window<br />
Lees on, thinking you fresh<br />
Trying to impress<br />
Shorty with the baby hair pushed down on her forehead<br />
Ponytail swaying, she hot<br />
Standing like she bull legged, but she not<br />
You remember the days?<br />
That's when crack was affecting blacks like that<br />
Just drink some Valentine Ale, little reefer<br />
Friday night, go check out Star Child at the theater<br />
That's all corrupt<br />
Over rap you might get bust<br />
Say the wrong thing<br />
End up in a permanent sling<br />
Went from shelltops to hollowtops<br />
Used to rock the bus stop<br />
Now we electric slide from the cops<br />
Want some veterans in this<br />
That ain't keeping it real<br />
Now with God we chill over a record deal<br />
Always the good ones to go<br />
Never your enemies die<br />
Till this day I wonder why they took my man B.I.<br />
No time to yell rhymes in the microphone<br />
Take this more serious than just a poem<br />
Rock party to party<br />
While you're out the door<br />
But tear it up yo, let's start love over<br />
<br />
Chorus<br />
Bridge x2
