Apollo Brown - Take It Back lyrics

[Intro] (All things in their time) [Verse 1: Chino XL] I'll take you back fifteen years, an*lyze Every verse is cleaner than a surgeon's hands when they've been sanitized I'll take you back to the panic when rap was dangerous Blasting EPMD outta them cla**ic Jeep Wranglers I'll take you back to a different time Spazzing like River Phoenix outside of the Viper Room the night he died Back to paying dues spitting lit a fuse With the mathematical, aeronautical cynic mind of Howard Hughes Abnormality, I'll take it back to originality If I'm insane then rap is my insanity I'll take it back like an Indian giver Yo scratch that term, I'd rather throw a White cowboy in the river I'll take it back, full rage Performing How You Like Me Now with Kool Moe Dee right up on the same stage Let's get it back to the basics Zookeepers need to put a diaper on Chino when he goes ape sh** Hip-hop is a great ship, let me steer it My sk** level's so high that when I rhyme only dogs hear it The ghetto vampire that's walking in the sunlight The lyric Christ, I turn entire blocks to ma** grave sites I will brolic Brock Lesnar your career Chino got more Seoul than the capital of Korea I'm bringing wind storms, rain, darkness and drear Puncture heart valves, painting nightmares in blood smears 98, I'd like to take it back Still only attract women that think murder's an aphrodisiac A lot of cats that just hopped into this artform Like photographers that never stepped inside a darkroom I'll take it back to when I wanted to be Tito from the Fearless Four The illest Puerto Rican I had ever saw Studied Cool J, studied Kool G, studied Ice-T Now I meet little homies that say they study me So [Hook] (Take it back) (What we gonna do right here is go back) (Take it back) (Way back) (Take it back) (Back in the days when I was a teenager) (Take it back) (For all the pioneers I'm going way back) [Verse 2: Rakka Iriscience] I'll take it back but still tomorrow for you yesterday cats Matter fact, seldom took it back, I meant to say that I take it back to the original King of style, Kase 2 Two good letters with one arm and watch them biters waste you Take it back to unity Rest in peace Bigga B Rob One, Roc Raida, King Dream, SMD Take it back to 1580 KDAY for the cuts Take it back to only leaving Yo in the Toyota trucks I take it back to fast break, Magic, Worthy, Laker raps Some silently claim, but some violently bang on wax Croker sack house shoes Hats with the golf clubs Back to educated rap Back before we all thugs Take it back to dignity I bet it isn't, promise me Traced 'em back and watch the crack spread Reganomically I'm a full time warrior I'm a war time journalist Earning hazard pay, Rakka's live where the Inferno is [Hook] [Verse 3: Roc Marciano] n***as who wore the gazelles had all the females Beat tell in the Benz, SCL She smell like TCB gel Treat a freak well Cause I pay attention to detail Pinky ring long fingernail to hit fish scale But that ain't how we get down I'd rather pull a heist, skip town Up in your wig, I pump six rounds Big rope, Slick Rick style Moet rep '89 Rolex vets Poets, tecs I'm the Polo tech's sweats Coke heads to Pro Keds steps While connects role in the LS with leather head rests My waves laying Indian hemp O.G. revolver like Billy The Kids Squeeze trigs in millennium skid The condominium was big That's that brilliant kid [Hook]
