Fes Taylor - Back Then Lyrics
f/ King Just"We want... it... yeah..." > vocal sample repeats throughout[Fes Taylor]Aiyo back then I used to do breakdancing and backspinsChubby little fat kid, glasses with the cracked lensMoms tried to keep me active, playing sports, living down south of New YorkEveryday I fought so I ended up being suspended more than I attendedRivals I came across always swore that I would get itIn the eighth grade I had the suede and tonics with the straight wavesPanasonic radio with the double cassette tapesFades with ya name in the back, chain with the Onyx in the backY'all niggaz remember that? (Yeah)I'm talking DJ Red Alert daysSo you don't know ya history of ya knowledge don't go past KayslayWhen the Nikes first added the Air, put bubbles in the solesThey said the revolution is hereAround the time Jordan came in the gameI'ma do it like, son I swear son this sport'll never be the same[Chorus: King Just]Yeah, yeah, come on!Who that? Fes Taylor the GreatCome on!Ladies and gentlemen, let's go![Fes Taylor]When Kane wasn't Half-Steppin' and G Rap was on the Road to RichesI took lessons, thinking how to better my professionThis is something new produced by the GrandDaddy I.U.But I'ma take him back to the year ninty-twoWhen X-Factor terrorized the forty-six busI caught two cases in one week, walked away in handcuffsRight before BlackFist Records became majorWe already had an album done produced by Rebel DainjaI was running in the streets wild like I'm invincibleTook one in the chest, still ain't think it's sensibleFreak Niq, mayor shut is down, I had pictures tooBaby moms found 'em in a stash in the living roomFirst came the Force MC's then it was Blue CheeseThen came the Wu-Tang Clan, as the new meat'Member the Shaolin Soldiers? Thought we was dead and gonelike Transformers: The Movie the way they did Unicron[Chorus][Fes Taylor]Let's take a trip, back to the public pool days, go and take a tipOr the public school days when we used to skipGo to Mr. B's, headed to a cup partyAnd hip-hop, this'll be my only love, probablyListened to Stretch Armstrong and BobbitoBloods that was harboring 'em, Crips was popsitoWhen the Wolf Pack started then more and more peopleLike we made it all balance out, kept it all equalAround the time of the Shateeq scandalWe was writing over Gano D tags like a vandalWe was fighting over Jansport bags like animalsPants sag but I never wore no MC Hammer shoes or no Kwame polka-dotsNowadays it's Kanye polo tops, I used to drink Shaz to soda popsI remember that... Starter hats with the strap in the back'Fore dudes was rocking fitted caps[Chorus to fade]
