Bringing It Back

(Album: Bridging The Gap - 2000)

I know I'm not the only one that's filling the void
Creatively hip-hop is being destroyed
A lot of rappers really need to be unemployed
Because the topics that them talk about has got me annoyed
You see I heard it all before, there's no need to repeat it
The forms I vacated, might as well delete it
Put your program in and open a new file
You shoulda took your record advance and bought a style
We the only crew that came original
While a lot of other brothers just mimic the pile
The pile that's only designed for pop charts
That contradicts thought, that's the reason we brought
It back cause honestly it lacks
Talent and creativity, in fact
These are symptoms to something that's wack
And your system senseless to witness that
So, hear me if you wanna, we gon' speak on it
We gon' tell the world why hip-hop is haunted
Money is a drug and MC's is on it
We gon' take it back to the days of Mantronix

Yo we bringing it back
Check it out cause we bringing it back
All DJ crews that's cutting, you bringing it back
We bringing it back
All b-boys breaking and busting, bringing it back
We bringing it back
I'ma do the cabbage patch to solidify we bringing it back
Black Eyed Peas straight bringing it back, check it out

Y'all, your rhymes ain't ready, you dead like Kenny
Approaching on the mic sounding hefty
Ummmmmm, lusting for them pennies
Far too many, MC's wanna praise they Bentley's
Yo, we breaking it down with the art
DJ and breaking up on the chart
MC's pull out your mic, rip it apart
Writers hit up the wall, put up your mark and
Set get ready, hold yourself steady
Tryin to make a turn like Aunt Betty
Sharp on the mic and slice like a machete
Feelin the beat, real deep, down to my belly
Back in the essence, rhyme with the reasons
Too many MC lost the true meaning
Hip-hop, bringing it back with the feeling
Y'all, we're bringing it back with the feeling
So love me if you wanna, but I'ma speak on it
I'ma tell the world why hip-hop is haunted
Money is a drug and MC's is on it
We gon' take it back to the days of Soulsonic

Yo we bringing it back
Check it out cause we bringing it back
All DJ crews that's cutting, you bringing it back
We bringing it back
All b-boys breaking and busting, bringing it back
We bringing it back
I'ma do the cabbage patch to solidify we bringing it back
Black Eyed Peas straight bringing it back, check it out
Yo, we bringing it back
Check it out look we bringing it back
All DJ's scratching and cutting, you bringing it back
We bringing it back
All b-girls breaking and busting, you bringing it back
We bringing it back
I'ma do the running man to solidify we bringing it back
Black Eyed Peas steady bringing it back, check it out
