Title: Take 'Em Back

Date: March 30, 2005

yeah lets take em back

do it like this

haha old school

take 'em back to

hearin' hip-hop as a teen

writing my ways, gettin through the screen

my favorite rapper used to rap summertime

i knew i wanted to spit a verse and rhyme

i was down back in the day way back when

before i decide to pick up a pad and pen

wanted to create a musical piece

make somethin good at the very least

white folks were all into punk rock

but instead i enjoyed Eric B and Tupac

lovin the days with dj's like jazzy jeff

back then, the word on the streets was def

rapping my heart out till there aint nothin left

the sound of spinnin' and back scratchin

takin my rhymes and tryin to do matchin

keepin it real and original no snatchin

just gimme a mic and its a beat im catchin

(Chorus)

take em back

this is how its done

haha old school

a back back back in the day

a back back back around the way

when radios were down wit the OPP

i was there sayin yeah you know me

ll cool j mama said knock you out

reppin' the old school what im about

all i need is a boombox and im chillin

along wit a notepad and lines im fillin

on the tv, the show was yo mtv raps

then came west coast g's bustin' caps

dr dre and snoop doggy dogg gin and juice

deathrow, pac and the outlawz on the loose

from the garden state to the west

rappin about who did it the best

step your game up after you read

how rap was grown from just a lil seed

but this is your rap lesson

the art of rap now thats a blessing

(Chorus x3)

golden age before gangstas paradise

old skool adidas, starter gear and the ice

can't forget about the four finga rings

rollin' down the street smokin' g-things

haha yeah the history straight from the books

learned and i aint placin my mic back on the hooks

tearin down the walls into mainstream

hip-hop hooray makin' you scream

now thats just a lil somethin from the past

givin ya lesson thats full blast

and there aint no way to mask it

real hip-hop in the house y'all classic!

(Chorus x5)

I was only 3 years old when "He's The DJ, I'm The Rapper" and "It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back" came out but they're my all-time favorite albums, with this "Lost and Found" I think FP is takin' it back to the basics of hip-hop and hip-hop heads like us are excited about it, fitting song Jim, good job! :afro:

i was born in 88 that when they re-release JJ&FP Rock The House. I became a big fan of their music in 92 when I heard the theme song to FPoBA. :angel:
