Take Me Back

[Intro: CusaX]
You know, man, sometimes I
See these people online, on Twitter and shit
Sayin' that there was this magical, golden age of hip-hop
Back in like 1996, you know?

[Chorus: CusaX]
Take me back to the days I been hearin' about
Take me back to the time when I wasn't around
Take me back to the classics I don't know
Take me back to the music from before
Take me back, take me back, like

[Verse 1: CusaX]
It's always old school or fuckin' Pro Tools
Nobody play the game like they supposed to
They got a gripe and a lot of it isn't right
To be sayin' it out of spite, they just playin' us for the fight
If not one thing, nah, it's another
Comparin' all the rappers like I'm winter in the summer
I spent all what I had on just reactin' to you suffer
You think I'm from the ghetto? I'm not even from the gutter
These days what it takes to be great
Think it would be easy as a piece of cheese cake
Saw the facts, and what I lacked, I remade
Called my actions and I scrapped my B-tape
My ambition as a wannabe Dre
Make me efficient as you listen to my gospel today
This whole rap game gonna pop my brain
So one last time, lemme take the reigns and ask that

[Chorus: Cusa X, Embis & Both]
Take me back to the days I been hearin' about (Take me back to the days I been hearin' about)
Take me back to the time when I wasn't around (Take me back to the time where I wasn't around)
Take me back to the classics I don't know (Take me back to the classics I don't know)
Take me back to the music from before (Take me back to the music from before)
Take me back, take me back, like

[Verse 2: CusaX]
Now I get the fact I'm somewhat of a whippersnapper
I grew up in the age of a Ye and Marshall Mathers
Instead of a Dre Day, followed a safe space
Talkin' Star Wars, Black Ops, and then MJ
Who woulda thought that all the shit that would make me
Is NWA, JAY-Z, and some Dre beats?
Take me back to the days in the lab
For the golden age, so I can hold in my rage
My devotion is painfully open to stay
So just hopin' I could go for broke on my name
Rewind to The Chronic
A time machine is what my mind can be
When you ain't sleepin' on it
So protect the neck and place your bets
Make the checks and then erase my debts
Now just face the facts or retrace my steps
I'ma take you back until the ace is back

[Chorus: Cusa X, Embis & Both]
Take me back to the days I been hearin' about (Take me back to the days I been hearin' about)
Take me back to the time when I wasn't around (Take me back to the time where I wasn't around)
Take me back to the classics I don't know (Take me back to the classics I don't know)
Take me back to the music from before (Take me back to the music from before)
Take me back, take me back, like

[Outro: Embis]
Oh-oh, ooh-woah
Back
Woah-oh, ooh-oh, ooh-oh
