remember when...? - ms. melodie lyrics

[instrumental]

[verse 1]
six years ago
some friends of mine
came out and said some fresh ass rhymes
well they said those rhymes with that year and day
it’s ‘89 and mine goes this way
i gave a test
an *n*lysis
for what is real, and what doesn’t exist
and what i found to be a straight up fact is that
over the years, people laughed at rap
but through the hits of gold and platinum
the laughter stopped because the silence tracked ‘em
everywhere i turn i hear a boom*boom*bap
ovеr r&b folks, wassup with that?
[verse 2]
it seems to me
cuz we’re not gеttin’ awards
don’t try to front
like we’re one accord
if rap never came out
the streets would fade out
because you didn’t eat at home, you took your plate and ate out
now the plate runs dry with chicken bones
you’re staying all alone
crying to come home
to the streets
where all music comes from
either you sold out or you’re just a dum*dum
oh, come come now and see just how
i rock this beat with a melodie rap sound
what doesn’t exist
is respect that’s due
to the ghetto streets that created you

[instrumental break]
(everyone knows, the hip*hop who)

[verse 3]
this is not a diss, it’s the truth
i know when i’m tellin’ you
the street is the root
of the tree
that branches out to r&b
you see
no animosity just r*a*p
in ms. melodie
so what are you tellin’ me
is it a fad? (no!)
or is it music? (yes, it is!)
and we use it
and now you choose it
tryin’ to change it
to rhythm and blues and
do you need the sales
or radio play?
and if you do, that’s okay
but tell you who gives it
do we split it?
do you just use the sound
and then forget it?
well i ain’t wit’ it
rappers rap
a part of hip*hop
we’re rockin’ the charts
and we won’t stop
[instrumental break]
(everyone knows that hip*hop rules)

[outro]
yeah!
just five years ago
y’all wasn’t wit’ it
but now y’all rockin’ beats like this
i’d like to give a special shout out and thank you to darryl russell and joe
y’all in this
peace!

[instrumental]
