Brown Bag AllStars - 406 lyrics

406, 406, 406 [J57] Yo, I remember climbing those stairs at 16 Came from LI with my crew and some big dreams 406 was a place we called HQ Met people 'round the world On the daily and they knew Feeling like we lost our home Nowadays either in the lab or on the phone Everything changed They saw the heart like a X-Ray Used to sleep in the DJ booth if I had to open next day A place where in-stores felt like an oven If you didn't know the words to the song playin' You were nothin' Almost too nervous to walk in for my interview Come on son you'll murder this What's gotten into you? [Soul Khan] See even though I was a late comer I had the same hunger I still look at those days as such a great wonder At the time that we eventually became brothers Connected by the records and the way they changed others I started working at the store in the month of June Back then they probably thought I was a funny dude I told Jimmy that I made myself a couple tunes And hoped to god I had the kinda voice he'd wanna use I miss all the customers The sidewalk hustlers Chilling with the fellas in the deli that was under us A second home feeling when I walked in the door sh**, sometimes I even miss mopping the floor [Hook - Audible Doctor] Out my window The seasons shift Like the breeze blows The seeds adrift Though you're gone now I won't forget All I learned from The 406 [Koncept] You ever have to say goodbye to your dearest friend? Remembering the day he died wishing he was here again In closed doors Those flaws learn to walk and listen 2000 whatever You're burned get more a missin' Stop supporting when it's too late And the draws done Treat it like the first day you ever met your born son Not like they never warned us Just couldn't tell a secret Really what it comes to just didn't want to believe it Story after story and record after record Them boxed uplocker wasn't meant to have an ending So what can we conclude This is what it's come to Our children won't get to see and touch what we once knew It still feels weird when I walk down 8th street They peeled down walls Now that walk feels empty And don't say you missed it If your presence was missing I was there since the beginning and there when it finished [The Audible Doctor] I remember being back in Wisconsin checking the back of the wax Like these are the cats that really made this sh** Fast forward to 04 When I'm out the door Made my pilgrimage feeling sick About to start my first shift Shout out to Monster for hooking it up Amore joking that she can't hire me cuz my kick game's f**ed Shout out to Eclipse For telling me my music s**ed It made me work harder he's a big part of why it stuck I sat upon a perch And watched the New York scene I attended all the shows as a VIP I spoke to the fans and artists about our hopes and dreams Never really thinking that this moment would leave I met a lot of my idols and most the cats I work with I saw the sales decline first hand, it made me sick All of these things are why I sound like this If you're a fan of my music thank the 406, the 406 [Hook]
