There Used To Be A Time (lyrics for my song)

[slick_dick]

[verse 1]
There used to be a time when hiphop was just rhymin
aint no gimmicks, lyrics seeped inside n
made a spark in ya heart but now the art is dyin'
mufuckas denyin but the game's past her prime
they killed her fa dead prez n i trieda get mines
i used to love HER now i'm just sexin her grind
i used to dig her tuffness u cudnt mess wid dat dime
n most of all it was her intellectual mind I pined
i searched for signs, cudnt find d black pearls dat shined
with words divine, there was soul in they lines
now its more about d shine n d chrome in they rides
smoke n get high, sellin dope by the side
prewrote n still choke its a joke wen they 'style
so I swore by my grind, i'm closin the file,
no more denial, just sit back, relax n recline
and reminisce how there used to be a time

[verse 2]
Big L had d ebonic flow, Dre did d chronic smoke
bring back d good ol days, d game needs a tonic yo!
Furios Five had a Message, Rakim was d essence
n every track was blessed if d Preem gave his presence
n CREAM was a lesson of bein rich plus violent
originated by NWA, propagated by the Shoalin
if u knowwhatI'm sayin everybody was Insane In The Brain
NewYork '94, I'm takin u down the Memory Lane
wen d golden era sowed it seeds, rap meant rythm n poetry
when they spoke Words Of Wisdom, intellectually goin deep
Marley Marl was something, BDP u cudnt touch them
they got so much soul, Only God can Judge them
Everytime they grabbed a mic they COULD kick it
they shook ones n all n took the hood with it
n now we can just talk about it lookin behind
reminiscing........how there used to be a time

[verse 3]
hiphop is dead coz every tracks' filled wid crap
yo d bullets killed d rappers, d cash killed d rap
n believe me, I'm too intelligent to Act a fool
y'all aint graduated yet, go back to school
the old school, when nuccas still had it
d technique still immortal n rhymes illmatic
infinite was the flow with classics for demos
still a gangstas paradise, thats the magic of retro
n when Eric B n Rakim dropped, know the ledge
he only meant u shud have the knowledge
fuckas talkin bout rim sizes n dick sizes
i flaunt my brain size n whats inside it
n if this is ur moneymaker then dont rape her
writing rhymes' d only time i mixed art wid paper
coz i still love HER, so dont pollute whats mine
coz i'm tired of reminiscing........hahahahahaha

infinite was the flow with classics for demos
still a gangstas paradise, thats the magic of retro
n when Eric B n Rakim dropped, know the ledge
