Everybody Nose - Blu, SA-RA Creative Partners, Nola Darling

I be catching flashbacks

To time before we spoke in hashtags

Sons and daughters of Midnight Marauders

Sha-clack-clack even back before we spoke like griots here

Now everybody say, «I remember way back when»

Soupa Deville '78

Sun up in the sky when the clouds was grey

There we exchanged those ropes for chains

Some things will never be the same

Ayo, look up in the sky, it’s a bird, it’s a plane

Ya’ll niggas know the name and ain’t a damn thing change

But I’m saying, the game needs to, get a make o'

Everything they play is just that same 'ol, same 'ol

Smoking on that Jane, yo, riding in that Range yo

These niggas still doing songs 'bout slanging cane bro?

That shit is way old, still getting paid though

Fuck you think we came for?

To be on the Today Show?

Ya’ll need to slide a few more O’s up on that payroll

Matter fact, bring the money bags off a crane yo

Tiger style, like I bring that Wu-Tang flow

Used to bust to bust, now they do it for the fame yo

I heard that Jay still getting '88 dough, I’m sayinn

Some things will never be the same

As they came

Peopled changed

And everybody knows

Some things will never be the same

As they came

Its a shame

Ayo, the radio, the TV yo, and even the press

It was the reason for the stress that they pile on your chest

But I said «Fuck that!»

Make sure the system in my truck stacked

I’m sick of cruising around the town off this bus pass

I used to bust back when ya’ll was watching Rugrats

5'10″ pimp, growing out that little mustache

Watching sluts pass, wishing I could touch that

Pose on the scope on that all black chuck hat

They brought the Chucks back, but who the G’s above that?

Had them all whites like, «I dare somebody scuff that»

They know the drama, but it ain’t no need to talk that

Feel bad cause I never brought my poppa’s gun back

Run niggas when I never used to run track

Shit I used to get a young snatch off of one rap

I was a Slick Rick since I was a young cat — Yuppp

When I got that BDP poster I hung that uppp

Can’t believe my teacher put me in a dunce hat once — Say what?!

Some things will never be the same

As they came

Peopled changed

And everybody knows

Some things will never be the same

As they came

Its a shame

Ayo, the Kangols, the jumpsuits, the fat gold chains

The 3 stripes, the Cortez, stacking old tapes

The boombox, the flat-top, the lines, and the fade

The beepers, the speakers the 4-finger rings

Rakim’s G-Raps, the Big Daddy Kanes

The Biz, the real roxanne, Dana Dane

LL, The Fat Boys, Ice Cube, and Dre

Ice T, just ice, D Nice, and Flav

The Beasty Boys — Yup!

— Even 3rd Bass

Some things will never be the same

As they came

Peopled changed

And everybody knows

Some things will never be the same

As they came

Its a shame
