1999

[Intro: Shifty Rydos] Shifty Rydos Let's go back to 1999 Where it all started This is just a little summary And this is how it started Let's go [Verse 1: Shifty Rydos] I've been doing this since 1999 In that time, I've been waiting in line, now it's my time to shine Fine, then I was incredible, magical, unstoppable Coming like a raging bull, never head down, always standing tall Back then, we were making hectic tapes in [?] room, soon We were hitting them youth clubs This was before making dubs Back then, they said this was a phase But we had faith, so we ran with the pace Now it's money we chase But we never stumble and we stay with the pace [Chorus: Shifty Rydos] The year is 1999 I've got the pen to the pad, I'm writing rhymes The year is 1999 And I know soon it's gonna be my time The year is 1999 I've got the pen to the pad, I'm writing rhymes The year is 1999 And I know soon it's gonna be my time [Verse 2: Shifty Rydos] Now it's two-double-0-0, in Bow, so Let me tell you how it went down Me and Slix founded Ruff Sqwad in town Then we brang in Maxi, Tinchy, Dirty, Rapid in time We knew we were gonna buss in time, but we had to wait in line Then we went on Heat FM on radio, five pounds to go It was worth it, though Back then, we knew we were bound to blow There's ins and outs, ups and downs in the game But we still work for the pound Then these n****s wanna come and take what's mine Never that, take them to the ground [Chorus: Shifty Rydos] The year is 1999 I've got the pen to the pad, I'm writing rhymes The year is 1999 And I know soon it's gonna be my time The year is 1999 I've got the pen to the pad, I'm writing rhymes The year is 1999 And I know soon it's gonna be my time [Verse 3: Shifty Rydos] Now it's two-double-0-four No doubt we're still raw to the core We've got them jaws dropping to the floor Wait, we've got more in store Let's keep on going, blowing Showing them we've got the juice How can they be saying Shifty is over sounding loose? There's only one way to aim and that's high, why? Because I can and I will I gotta work hard to make that mil' Okay, this is the end of the beginning But now we're winning We've come a long way from then but we are still sinning [Chorus: Shifty Rydos] The year is 1999 I've got the pen to the pad, I'm writing rhymes The year is 1999 And I know soon it's gonna be my time The year is 1999 I've got the pen to the pad, I'm writing rhymes The year is 1999 And I know soon it's gonna be my time [Chorus: Shifty Rydos] The year is 1999 I've got the pen to the pad, I'm writing rhymes The year is 1999 And I know soon it's gonna be my time The year is 1999 I've got the pen to the pad, I'm writing rhymes The year is 1999 And I know soon it's gonna be my time
