The Take Back

Verse 1 Spring cleaning, found photo albums while unboxing; as a kid no TV playing Noggin Cuzzin knockin' 15's playing Nas when DJ Clue was a must when cassette popped in; Rocking, baggy clothes, Timberland toes Bubble bear coats exposed when winter froze!/ We talked reality, false quotes too! Hanging by the corner store, couple smokes, couple brews/ Now it's all about the salary, Hear it in the songs, artists claimin hip hop But the actions don't belong/ Now it seem something missing Used to be uplifting Like seeing image of Ali over Liston/ The mission to leave with my soul intact, Too many leave six feet heart cold and black/ From the Corona attack, never boast or brag; Shout out to my medical workers and soldiers; facts I take back! Verse 2 Can't miss something that you never had Talking bout my past with my kids, Know it never lasts/ Start creating memories more than I post it; When you open, online get in their motions/ So close it, too many people in ya business; Witness the rise and miss it when it switches/ I miss it, Brooklyn walks making visits Grandma can do anything without English What is this, virus turn neighbors to snitches; Out of touch with cell phones, can't remember digits/ Now we dismissive, lazy and addicted, To the Black Mirror while elites stick to riches/ I lifted the sheets off the bed I made Never judge what you believe and yes I pray, don't stress what they say, just a test to face, if your alive to hear this song, God bless ya day, I take back! Verse 3 I'm the 'leader of the night school' I mean 'New', way before Busta made 'Whoo, Ha' Was a youth 'with an attitude' Posters on my bedroom wall Michael Jackson's 'Moonwalk' Was the best movie that I knew, Next to 'Last Dragon', 'Vanity can show me moves' Thought I had 'The Glow' till I ran into my first fight; Came home embarrassed, Head with a bag of ice; I missed it, chores with my cousins cleaning dishes, Shortcuts through backyards, we jumping fences; Expenses earned from birthdays Went to Ice cream, rap tapes, couple jeans and some Nike's I might be, going too far for the new school; But it's cool, they can learn it all on YouTube Get used to, standing apart from the crowd; Speak from the heart and pass the loud, I Take Back!
