Shadows Of 1995

"One love to Doo Wop and the Bounce Squad. '95 do your thing" - Guru

[Verse One]:

First things first

Before I do what I do

I gotta say fuck B.E.T. for shittin' on Guru

And nah it ain't the topic, but it's only right

Cause he's from the same town as the creators of this project

Butcha hit me up and said, "It's logic

Look kid, Statik instrumentals. Rappers on top of it."

Not involving the dude that inspired this

Is like making a tune about consciousness and not including Talib

I was like, "Mos Def. It's Common Sense cause most kids

Ain't got a sense of what of '95 Live meant

If I was a producer, I'd be Buckwild, Clark Kent

Not enough credit but regardless I'm content

Cause some get it

Cats cherish it, still to this day recite the lyrics back effortless

The realest relate

First tape to be compared to an earthquake

Broke ground

If I was around in the 50's

I'd probably sign to Motown

[Scratch Chorus]:

[Verse Two]:

Listen

Braves beat the Indians

9ers beat the Chargers

Rockets beat the Magic

OJ beat the charges

New Jersey Drive

Braveheart watchin'

Oklahoma bombin'

Million Man Marching

Blacks and Hispanics had love for our president

Selina got murdered by her fan club president

Cocaine got Darryl Straws suspended

Jordan came out of retirement

Tyson out the penitent

Howard Stern, Sony Playstation, Yahoo

All made their debut

And Los Angeles Rams

Made a move out to St. Lou

And Pamela An'

Married dude from the Motley Crew

No Swine Flu, just the Ebola

No T-Mobile, just Motorola

Jack phones, Biggie and Hov

Brought it back home

On the radio without payola that's a fact homes
