IntroLadies and Gentlemen, I hope you’re in the mood to
travel right now causeI want to take you on a journey…

back to creativity, before MTV before BETI mean way back
before recycling shit, when the props that you got was for your
writing and shitLet’s rewind before the hype when you used
to be low key To be a singer you had to actually know
keyI mean way back to before people made a job of seeing
who’s best at impersonating BobI mean way back to when you
sweat blood on every line To get one good song didn’t cost
sixteen ninety nineTo be considered deep you had to
actually say stuff And if it wasn’t good disc jockeys
didn’t play stuffI mean way way, Marvin Gaye way back, and
I pray that you willChorusCome with me, let us
journey past this melodyGive us room to exercise our
mindsTake you to another place another time, better hooks
better rhymesStronger lyrics every line, you could even
press rewindCome with me, let us journey past this
fallacyGive us room to exercise our mindsTake you to

smoke got me singing shit that’s bionic every noteThat
it’s affecting my judgement is what some people would hope But I’m not tripping, I’m on a journey, come along now let’s
floatI used to be excited going to the record store, but
these days I stay pacing the floorSomebody please take me
back to when the artistes were poorCause when they made
less they gave us so much moreLet’s take it back to a
ballroom, cloudy microphone… Smokey Robinson, Nina SimoneJames Brown was still occupying the throne when the songs
weren’t sold off videos aloneWay back to when a star
attitude wasn’t defined by somebody being rudeTo when it
was a pleasure definitely not a taskTo greet a fan with a
smile and sign a damn autographI mean way back to before
you used to drive the MaybachYou dreamt about a mil but
never made thatWhen you made some shit that we could play
backI mean way back to a whole ‘nother time, further back
than your grandad’s hairlineI mean way back, wont you say
that you will (Repeat chorus)
