ARTIST: BENINEM
ALBUM: AUTISTIC FLOW
SONG: FLASHING BACK TO CLASSIC TIMES
I’m kicking it back to growing up with hip hip blowin’ in your ears
So take a seat in front of the beat droppin’ from the DJ
He was gettin’ the break dancers crackin’
Everybody get ready to set it off like me and my friends
Who like to get rock-steady, yo!
It’s like a bad reaction when your shoes lose traction
From all the windmill backspins on the wooden floor
Ready for more, so open that door to the underground of the old school
We don’t throw down like a sucker
Just ask my brother, you don’t have to take my word
Unless you act like a nerd and forget what you heard
Within this constellation this will be droppin’ all over the nation
If you’re in our galaxy
Don’t get stuck in Toledo
Where a cow-blower offers some Cheetos!
Look out for the food junkie I’m feeling kinda funky
For eating too many snickerdoodles and ramen noodles
Let’s throw it in a hoop and I’ll get back to the scoop
So come out with your crew, we’ll provide the Mello Yellow
Because it’s cheaper than Nello’s pizza
Don’t forget your cue when the beat drops, it drops for you
There’s no stoppin’
Eh-everybody dance, put on your parachute pants
This may be your last chance
After the 80’s came and went
Some people worried that their lives were spent
Let’s give them a reason to be alive
By reviving the sound of real hip hop, right on the spot
You can drive your car from where you are
Wearing your “time to get fresh” shoes and become a star
It’s not completely sub-par to rap bizarre, hardy-har-har!
Time to put on some bands to get ready
Get ‘Rad’ on this fad from the 80’s
Pick up that skateboard from Bare Cover
Ride the quarter-pipe, feel the hype that’s better than a drug!
Just watch out for the cop
You know I seem to latch on to what the heck you’re doing
‘Cause shredding is better than fretting over someone who doesn’t commit a crime
Even when busting a rhyme
Stay smart when you’re not on your session
But making it a profession
And keep away from posers
We got the AZ Crews of Scares
Taking down them haters
One at a time, like Optimus Prime
Are all you guys gonna miss ‘throwback’
Or do you need to drink a six-pack of Pepsi
I’ll leave it up to you to determine your own journey
But keepin’ yourself from being in a gurney
It doesn’t seem like ET’s very outta sight
So here ya go!
One by one, the beats will come
And you know you want to get some
Instead of twiddling your thumbs
‘Cause you don’t ever forget the disaster with this jam
Keeps getting faster right inside of a boombox blaster
So whatcha, whatcha, whatcha wanna do
Celebrate on the past to feel the blast to send you back
So whatcha, whatcha, whatcha wanna do
Celebrate on the past to feel the blast to send you back
You won’t soon forget how the record scratches in your mind
Like graffiti on a wall
Flashing back to classic times! Ah-ha-ha-ha!
Flashing back to classic times!
Flashing back to classic times! Ah-ha-ha-ha!
‘Cause you know when I drop this the beat will never stop
What do you even think you have to do, a bunny hop?
So keep thinking back to the days of old
‘Cause I’m gonna keep it fresh, like tenfold!
