lyrics

(V1)
Whatever happened? To the age old art of rapping?/
The art of storytelling, fell apart to boring yelling/
No ghetto rebels, just spoiled braggarts/
"Rat-a-tat-tatted, and all the cops scattered"/
You ain't gangster, you ran from the gun blast/
"Cus real gangsta ass ni**az can't run fast"/
Whatever happened, to the "doo-doo" raps? /
And the "Boom bap! Boom! Bap"/

(Chorus X2)
Muthafuckas nowadays , wanna rap like this/
Your tracks can't blaze,without the pitch shift/
20 semitones down, ya voice got boom/
no kicks in your shit, but kick in the auto tune/

(V2)
"Drop a oldschool beat" down, & my mic rips/
Not weak fucking shit, That sounds right bitch/
Whatever happened, To DJ's scratching?/
...................................., Extinct like passion/
The grandmasters, Will roll in they graves/
The way you dumb bastards, Portray and behave/
Y'all need to "slow down", need to "bacdafucup"/
If Old Dirty was here yo, he'd "Fuck yo ass up!"/

(Chorus X2)
Muthafuckas nowadays , wanna rap like this/
Your tracks can't blaze, without the pitch shift/
20 semitones down, ya voice got boom/
no kicks in your shit, but kick in the auto tune/

(V3)
Whatever happened, To the parties and the fun?/
When did rapping, Turn in to bitches clapping off guns?/
Street trash slums, "here come the drums"/
Now you ain't "number one" Until you got the most funds/
You bout' the business, So good riddance/
And no kidding, (new) Hip hop's got me singing.../
"Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore/
But some days I sit, and wish I was a kid again"/

(Chorus X2)
Muthafuckas nowadays , wanna rap like this/
Your tracks can't blaze, without the pitch shift/
20 semitones down, ya voice got boom/
no kicks in your shit, but kick in the auto tune/
