Surpass Flavor - I Had It All lyrics

rate me

Ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to welcome everybody to The Green Felt Jungle mixtape, but speaking of mixtapes.....

We all hip hop but as a matter of fact,

You couldn’t pay me enough to bring '94 back,

Regarded, as the second Golden Age but I turned the page,

I think it’s time for y’all to disengage,

But imagine for a sec it returned to tape decks,

On some sick ass Butterfly Effect,

All my favorite tracks right then will be doomed,

Ill Al Scratch "I'll Take Her" in Autotune.

Hook:

You say you want a real hip hop emcee don't sweat,

Cause I remember when a mixtape was still a cassette,

So now you tell me, Flav, get with the times,

I had it all: Record Fast Forward rewind,

You say you want a real hip hop emcee don't sweat,

Cause I remember when a mixtape was still a cassette,

Or better yet a twenty-year vet, know what I mean?

From 1993 to 2013.

From the lives where air pollution dominate skies,

Date back to early 90's neighborhood drive-by's,

It was the early 90's raps that influenced a brother,

See I cursed at the world yet I love my mother,

My rhymes, came out swingin', no intermission,

Just a black napsack with the logo missin',

See I was anti-establishment, and anti-theft,

Cause my brother stole my tapes 'til I had no blanks left!

Hook:

Yo, do me a favor, don't sweat,

Cause I remember when a mixtape was still a cassette,

So now you tell me, Flav, get with the times,

I had it all, Record Fast Forward Rewind,

I had it all, Record Fast Forward Rewind,

I had it all, Record Fast Forward Rewind,

I had it all, Record, I Fast Forward but just Rewind,

Remember playin' those 90-minute tapes?

At that point no batteries are safe,

Had to make a mission to the store, floor to kickstand,

Long before Nike brand had Jumpman,

Cause he was still playin', and we was, still watching,

And if, you ever played them they just nailed down the coffin,

Denied Barkley his ring, I loved that Suns team,

Also Malone cause it was just a Jazz thing,

But anyway I had heroes more prominent,

Sense of accomplishment, hip hop dominance,

The Main Ingredient, but it hit me like a truck,

Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth broke up!
