[El Da Sensai]
2
I calculate that eighty-five was the year
3
I first grabbed the pen, daydreamin of the cheers
4
Ahead from rockin shows, no Girbauds that sag
5
The windbreaker suits and backspins that was mad
6
I stress progress roll joints at my rest
7
til the ill wee hours, and I knew it was the best
8
I hit mad spots, many crews got dropped
9
While I was gettin props niggaz was dealin on the block
10
Stayin in crib on the weekends was Marley Marl
11
was freakin the cuts Mr. Magic was speakin
12
That's how I got my first taste, makin tapes
13
til the rhyme skill was great and my style would escalate
14
Practice made my perfect tactics
15
Now my dap gets clap, cause I'm the rap snap fanatic
16
But now in nine-trey I got the T-Ray track
17
And my trunks, my roots are growin styles from whayback
18

[Tame One]
20
I flash back to fat Kangol hats, with plastic
21
Back when steppin on kicks in eighty-six got your ass kicked
22
Bombers and sheepskins, were common when I first started rhymin
23
Still I found time to go bombin
24
Me and my pals rocked Cazals with no glass
25
Dark flavored Clarks, Lee Denims off the ass
26
Back when Mr. Magic had it goin all the way on
27
the beat with BDP, added flavor like a crayon
28
Indeed MC's would represent with the skills
29
But now in ninety-three a lot of them can get the dillz
30
It seems like a little sumthin missin in the mix
31
But now I got a deal, so it's up to me to fix
32
When niggaz put me up on, with funky raps to cut on
33
Word is BOND, if I hear another wack rap song
34
I might snap and it's an actual fact
35
that I'ma kick it like that, cause this is strictly bout the whayback

38
Aww man damn, whayback, things was kinda fat
39
Had the Godfather knot, a Starter hat, things are kinda wack
40
now, packed up, my cardboard and stepped away
41
I didn't have a choice, the culture was slayed
42
B.D. had died, and things were dissapearin
43
The West coast was here and all these wack beats appearin
44
DJ's were breakin down record store doors
45
to get the Biz Dance and the Chante Moore's
46
Peace to Buck Four, Rocksteady on the floor
47
New York and Dynamic crews plus many more
48
Remember the time when you didn't pack a nine
49
Niggaz just came to hear some, funky ass rhymes
50
But all of that's over, cause brothers want to act up
51
No clubs to go to, they'll just pack rap up
52
That's how the media wants it to stop
53
So peep the verse and last showin of Graffiti Rock
54
So check it, the brothers want to wreck it
55
To get what's expected, cause hip-hop, should be respect
56
Gotta get it back, to get it on track
57
Artifacts kickin styles illy on the whayback
58
[Tame One]
59
Like back when my Timberlands were only size sixes
60
I used to take pictures shootin spitballs at bitches
61
Cross New Jersey Transit just to see a rapper kick it
62
But now I ain't with it, cause niggaz just ain't worth the ticket
63
Shit man, I remember jams that were slammin
64
Gettin me and my man in, was harder than backgammon
65
DJ's would scratch back to back from boom baps
66
And rappers with real raps, could drop shit real fat
67
But now kid, as I recollect, rappers out who caught wreck
68
respected, just got stuck up in my tape deck
69
Real deal hip-hop, when Biz used to flip-flop
70
His fat ass, on stage'd do a dance, in busted Reeboks
71
Niggaz musta forgot, when real rhymes was hot
72
Cause now if you ain't gold, you ain't got no props
73
But fuck that, I'm above that, I don't play that
74
The Artifacts staff drops math about the whayback
75
..
76
"It's a demo.." "Back in back in the days"
77
"You gots to chill.." "Back in back in the days"
78
"South Bronx" "The Bri to The Bridge"
79
'South Bronx" "Back in back in the days"
80
"Jimbrowski..
81
that's what it is" "Back in back in the days"
82
"Like that y'all, it's like that y'all
83
It's like thatta that, it's like that y'all" (4X)
