Connect to the metro
 Pay my fare like the rest
 Feeling retro
 But no doubt at my best
 Today's a standing tour of the city
 From point A to point B
 Next to me an old lady and a dude whose shirt says 'Security'
 Its a bit smelly but today my only sanctity
 Streams from an RCA jack attached to a box
 In the pocket of my backpack
 You gonna tell me that you don't remember walkmans?
 Even the cheap-kind no-rewind-button?
 We had to flip it fast forward
 Even became a pro wit it
 Chewin up your tapes
 But you still kep in to with it
 Puts me in a lucid state
 To hear the greats on magnetic tape
 Somewhat of a ritual
 Like diggin' in the crates
 And finding all the breaks cut an pasted
 In a loop with an 808
 DJ and MC got this chemistry like faith
 Was simply gifted
 Unlimited
 Rhymes
 Universal
 Got this vocal
 Born to rock the Mike O. who and solo
 Or Damian McDuo with Premier
 For a deadly combo
 Making music for the streets but on that next level
 I remember...
 Never tought when it was played way back
 That it would ever be remade in fact
 In a new way
 A catalyst for a good day
 Streaming from my backpack
 Never tought when it was played way back
 That it would ever be remade in fact
 In a new way
 A catalyst for a good day
 Streaming from my backpack
 I got the main ingredient for a quest to known
 From a tribe down the line bless the microphone
 I'm almost home
 Coming from the Pharcyde of the town
 Will they be Passin' you by instead of givin' a pound
 I wanna touch a jazz and win some shit Like Jeff Townes
 When you can hear the chirps scratch
 In the background Jazzy Jeff...
 Like The Roots syncopation to sound
 To two generations are treasures to be found
 Audio crackling cause my tape's near its end
 Flip it over let the B side begin
 I remember...
 Never tought when it was played way back
 That it would ever be remade in fact
 In a new way
 A catalyst for a good day
 Streaming from my backpack
 Never tought when it was played way back
 That it would ever be remade in fact
 In a new way
 A catalyst for a good day
 Streaming from my backpack
 Never tought when it was played
 That it would ever be remade
 Streaming from my backpack
 Never tought when it was played
 That it would ever be remade
 Streaming from my backpack
