Scram Jones - 40 Bar Flashback lyrics

rate me

[Intro]

I'm I'm on the Twitter come follow me

On the shit thinkin I'm the best MC

This the shit that get me on the MPC

Tell you what I was doin back in ninety three

[Verse One]

Used to clean my Reebox pumps with my toothbrush

Then cop a single or a cassette for just two bucks

Got my turntables right before the whole Wu struck

Used to cut class come home to learn my new cuts

Didn't have a fade somethin more like a crew cut

Nobody had haze even dirt would cost me too much

Wasn't gettin paid so I stay with my boots scuffed

But never got played 'cause my tape I ordered new stuff (I got that new shit!)

The set I cued up had the Mac to boot up

Gemini sampler so what the beats I looped up

Nobody knew what they thought I be a screw up

Love the place I grew up then came back with my loot UH!!!!

Went through the hood like a mechanic givin tune-ups

My screw up in the woods have me pumpin kegs with blue cups

Tryin to get ahead still I wind up stuck in two cuffs

The cops said you got balls but we got the two nuts

Wild cat in the back of the black school bus

Bumpin Black Moon my whole class thought that I knew Buck

Just a new buck a new rock tryna get new bread

Spend the last dollar on a rock is so bootleg (My Rubens!)

Tryna get my hands on Kid Capri needles

My first twelve send me chicks the root of all evil (not money!)

Hip-hop was in my jeans before I knew about a Diesel

When a artist was a artist and knew how to use the easel (Paintin pictures)

Now they scared of riskin pull a quick Evel Knievel

So I pull 'em a lethal version of POP goes the Weasel!

'Cause of they sick oh boy I'm straight measles

Been doin this since Dave went Phil killed that Siegel

Haaaah and yeah that's a old school reference (old school)

But shit I gotta it back to the essence (Gotta bring it back)

Before Slick Rick caught his first sentence

We thought 2000 we'll be livin like the Jetsons

Before Biggie even got with Supercat

Dudes were on the dance floor fallin back like Scoob and Scrap

When Bell Biv DeVoe went and sampled Kool G. Rap

I was in the room with Brand Nu' givin Puba dap

Stay where the music at before I heard a Luda rap

Befrore we call the music crack we called it weed and buddha sack

Was +Cool Like Dat+ before I could produce a track

Ten years in the game and they like Scram Jones (...who is that?!!)
