Testo Back In The Days - DTF

Testo della canzone Back In The Days (DTF), tratta dall'album From A Smooth Point Of View

Yo, lemme tell you a story about how we started out
Way way back in the days, ya know
Brought to you by DTF, smooth as always
In the beginning, hmm, now that was cool
Me and RMC, we met Juice at school
We started to breakdance, but now that's a fake dance
Why? 'Cause I think it was a great chance
To show your talent to woman or man
But anyway, that's how we began
I remember '87, um, September
Or was it October, November or December?
It doesn't matter, but damn, we started out
I was scratching, RMC used his mouth
The Rhyme Federation was our name
And we wanted fame, but playing the same game
As others, but it didn't hit
We did a few or two shows and that was it
Then Juice got loose and told about some dudes
Oh Jay, Kid Kane about our hip-hop roots
Terminating Poets was the name they had
And they were glad, yo, that they had met
A crew from their town that was down with their sound
We got close friends at the Dope Hill playground
Playing basketball, sometimes losing, sometimes winning
But that's how it was way back in the beginning
Goin' way, way back
Check it out, check it out
Back in the days
Goin' way, way back
Check it out, check it out, yo
Manipulating homeboy, DTF
Goin' way, way back
Check it, check it, check it out
Back in the days
Goin' way, way back
Check it out, check it out, yo
Manipulating homeboy, DTF
In part two I start to tell you 'bout my crew
1989 Was the time we broke through
Soon we had a name that was going to give us fame
Dope MC was learning and burning just like a flame
We performed for lots of different forces
24K, to Interfaith sources
Pooh got divorced, traumatic and damn
We went everywhere from here to Amsterdam
Germany with Next Generation
A dope creation, burstin' sensation
We were scorin' with all that tourin'
Enthusiasm ruled, 'cause we weren't boring
We got better and our pockets got fatter
And Jax brought us out with Mind Over Matter
Hyped up music with a hyped up tag
But now you're 'bout 'cause DTF is nagged
Y'all remember me with Jay on the fader
When I kicked it straight with DTF, the manipulator
But that's not all, 'cause it still goes on and on
Peace, yo, DTF is gone
But not forever, 'cause I'm so clever
Me leaving Dope Posse? Fuck you, never
Goin' way, way back
Check it out, check it out
Back in the days
Goin' way, way back
Check it out, check it out
Manipulating homeboy, DTF
Goin' way, way back
Check it out, check it out, yo
Back in the days
Goin' way, way back
Check, check, check it out
Manipulating homeboy, DTF
Yo, you know what I'm sayin'?
I'd like to say what's up to my two bros, RMC
And my man Juice from back in the days, you know what I'm sayin'?
I'll leave you with this nice mellow beat and I'm outta here
Peace
