(Rein-D first half)
As a kid I moved around from state to state
Then I’m going back to Cali like LL Cool J
One thing that stayed consistent was my stupid dope tapes
Run DMC had me open when I pressed play
I can’t forget Slick Rick yo that was ‘88
“He’s the DJ, I’m the Rapper” yeah Hip-Hop was great
But my favorite tape was “Licensed To Ill”
I was in Ohio, Washington, then we moved to The Ville (Vacaville)
And I believe in fate cuz that’s all it took
Souls of Mischief, Hieroglyphics since then I was hooked
E-40, Too $hort, the whole damn Yay
Rest In Peace to The Jacka
Long live Mac Dre
(Rein-D second half)
After kO chops those drums like a guillotine
And then he passes me the beat I start seeing things
These words falling from the sky with some uncertainty
Mix it up in the lab that’s the chemistry
Coming up with a sound so you remember me
Western Goodz in the building live rendering
No we don’t compromise that’s on everything
That’s that stuff of legend worth remembering
Master craftsmen of this thing called rap
Hittin hard in the trunk and you do know that
Be aware of what we’re bringin'
Cuz we bringin it back
Back to the essence of that boom boom bap
