Lyrics: Skinny Chase
Music: Skinny Chase
Once upon a time not long ago
When Gonzo was a kid
with no money to show
Before Supreme Team
had the corporate beef
When Sean2slow’s album
was the next to release
Chase shy of 20 was a hip-hop head
I met this other young rapper
this is what he said
Me and you kid
we gon make some beats
Dropping old folks
with the musical heats
I said
OK so what you got in mind
Cuz I’m an old schooler like
the Land Before Time
Ain’t no body about that
primitive s***
I’m talking rappers with the
jewels and the strap on their hip
You know the bling bling
ratatat clack and the click
Shit Imma get a couple models
and then smack em a bit
I should’ve listened to him
As Skinny Chase starts to figure
I’ll do years of being
penniless and bitter
So I pull down my hoodie
and walk around the block
Then my iPod shuffles
to a classic beat drop
A joint by FANA showing love
for the culture
Back when every single rapper
rapped with a function
The Quiett was the Pete Rock
producing for Soul Com
Had to take a moment for my
inner discussions
Yall flexing rappers go
and break a leg
Cuz I’m stuck with Skinny Chase
til I run out of breath
Back when Garion was 3 instead
of 2 in appearance
Buddha was the crew
for my sensitive feelings
The Four Microphones
at every karaoke session
But the greatest comeback was
8:45 Heaven
Would you look at the time kids
Long story short
I joined the military
like 6 years ago
The worst decision ever made
because I still regret it
But that’s when I met a dude
who also never made it
James my Monkey Bars teammate
who is as pathetic
as I am but his shit ****
Let’s drop an album
Show them what we got
Our dedicated album turned out
to be a flop
Believe it or not
I had to call the music quits
Way too many things
on my life priority list
Go back to school
and graduate for instance
Build a resume
and get a job this instant
Slowly drift away like
I was loving long distance
The current stake of hip hop
is none of my business
I still do music
but I call it pedestrian
Cuz I don’t give a damn
my attitude is indifference
In other words I accept defeat
My other counterparts
got more mouths to feed
Sid’s musical career is damn
near deceased
Don’t have to bump this
but respect it please
Don’t have to bump this
but respect it please
Don’t have to bump this
but respect it please
This ain’t funny
so don’t you dare laugh
Just another case
about the wrong path
Embrace the change
or your soul gets cast
Good night
