play on - nieve & cook lyrics

[intro]
yo, how you been
man, i’m good
haven’t seen you for a while
must’ve been like 5*10 years since the last time i heard something good
guess i gotta go back and catch up
reminisce

[verse 1]
i know you can’t
categorize me it doesn’t surprise me
try hard as you might though
it’s highly unlikely
the lyrics that i write should be chiseled in stone
so get your pen knives ready
start sketchin’ along
yo i do this for our hidden culture
amongst an industry of vultures
protecting our own, scr*p if you wanna
addicted to the marijuana
plant the seeds
i sit back and watch the growth of my poetry
and it
could just be me but i
i disagree with thе vast majority of today’s emcee
so i flip it to that old school back in the day
first page of my notеbook has somethin’ to say
[chorus]
i do this for the kids who don’t know how it used to be
the old school emcee spoke truth to me
but nowadays n0body’s gettin’ through to me
so get your old cds and play on

i do this for the kids who don’t know how it used to be
the old school emcee spoke truth to me
but nowadays n0body’s gettin’ through to me
so get your old cds and play on

[verse 2]
yo i do this for the realest if you feel it then you know
there’s no reason to conceal it when i speak i let it go
look at the words and how i try to get them through
i don’t do it for the fame no i’m doin it for you there’s so
much of the same that i think i’m losing view
how will i know the truth if there’s nothing that is true?
i dig through the classics, lookin’ through the stacks of
my compact discs for the ones that have the scratches
old school graphics, that’s warped and used
yeah the ones i always turn to when i’m most confused and i
turn up the volume as i coast and cruise
while i’m droppin’ everything that i’m supposed to do

[chorus]
i do this for the kids who don’t know how it used to be
the old school emcee spoke truth to me
but nowadays n0body’s gettin’ through to me
so get your old cds and play on
i do this for the kids who don’t know how it used to be
the old school emcee spoke truth to me
but nowadays n0body’s gettin’ through to me
so get your old cds and play on

[verse 3]
pl*pl*play*on, first wrote in crayon
you’ll never see me dressed in turquoise or rayon
your shoes got too much gold paint so lay off
i’m waiting for the day when la’s going to take off
the underground will come around
when rappers come of age and become more than actors on a stage
hip*hop is supposed to have the answers of today
not just the background for the dancers of today
you about as real as a paper mâché
when you only mark success by the paper you make but
what can i say it’s just a unfriendly game
and it’s been that way since back in the day
what

[outro]
i do this sh*t for real
it’s the real sh*t
