(chorus) | |
On and On like the song go | |
I wonder if we took the wrong road | |
And it seems like so long ago | |
But you know where to go if you ever come home | |
(verse) | |
I was born in the morning of America | |
Torn between mourning the loss | |
And celebrating the dawn | |
Majored in Reaganomics, hip hop and comics | |
Fist locked around dollars | |
Fuck a stock market | |
Prince was chart toppin' | |
Purple Rain fallin' | |
Writer's gettin' up and down the Berlin Wall | |
Before the Iron Curtain call and People Power One | |
Chillin' up in military housing having fun | |
With the little we got, got Optimus for Christmas | |
Over time to pay principal with interest | |
Moms and Pops still ill equipped as new immigrants | |
And navigate 1986 with three kids | |
Plus expecting one more, far from the Huxtables | |
That's why I'm still comfortable while sleeping on the floor | |
Twenty Three years gone, still 1984 | |
Still fighting more undeclared wars | |
Caught 'em shipping arms to Iran for Nicaraguan Contras | |
A cold war getting hotter, | |
Now what's going on? | |
It's no more Marvin to sing us the song, | |
I think something's gone wrong | |
(chorus) | |
(verse) | |
Now, nothing beats the sound of a Posmix cassette | |
Bumpin' in the system of your hooptie stock deck | |
8-bit systems and kung-fu flicks | |
I rock like Herbie Hancock with prosthetic limbs | |
Who killed Vincent Chin? | |
Was it them? Was it us? | |
Not giving it enough of a fuck to stand up | |
Not more than 12 months after Lennon got shot | |
Bob died same year, Mumia got locked | |
The school of the Americas put heads to sleep | |
Like Ted DiBiase, the Million Dollar Dream | |
Jesus Freaks all believe to leave | |
On these streets, will they please just leave us be | |
Mix tapes of Fat Boys and Run DMC | |
Too Short, BDP and EPMD | |
Watch more Nickelodeon than MTV | |
Eventually every week it was Fab Five Freddy | |
Now everybody born about '87 up | |
Got a VH1 version of "The Years We Came Up" | |
But VH1 never played hip-hop at all | |
How the fuck they be the ones giving hip hop awards y'all? | |
(chorus) | |
(verse) | |
Reflections and questions and not enough answers | |
The rise of gang banging was the death of the Panthers | |
Short shorts, tube socks, cities to boondocks | |
Everywhere somebody trying to moon walk | |
Rock Steady crew, jams with Steve Pool | |
Site beyond sight, yo, I pulled roots | |
Like Super Mario 2, a bowl full of Cheerios | |
Looking back "Just Say No" was not enough | |
To sweep dust under the carpet when the visitors came | |
Cities became, temporary wealth | |
Manifested and changed, M.J. became chosen | |
"Free Mandela" was the slogan of the moment | |
To the mobile DJs with the pompadour fades | |
Rockin' Debbie Deb Stevie B. all day | |
When I hear music, I can't wait to rock | |
New shoes, nothing less than some fresh hightops | |
And things happen for a reason, they say | |
But I say there's a reason things happen | |
And it wasn't all good way back in the day | |
Struggled then, struggle now, still standing | |
(repeat) | |
