The History Lyrics

The beat like a flashback
Couldn't move past that
Put it in rewind, memories like pack rat
Close up my eyes, and suddenly I'm gone
Regression, I guess, to the tune of a song
A hip-hop hit me with the days of my youth
Sugarhill Gang used to roll the skate too
In the booth long kisses to the shorties as they rolling
When they blowing back, then my head would get swollen
Fast forward now to a point critical
When me and AmpLive met in college down South
In the same dorm it was called B-Boys Hall
Rhyming in the cypher 'til my voice got raw
AmpLive rocked a new PS, he was on some club shit
Sounded like snap but the shorties just loved it
Formed up a clique with the homies Soup and Rick
Management Blacksmith, back then ???????
Signed to a major, thought we was the flavor
Partied all the time, blowing trees bad behavior
Sittin' in the studio trickin' off the budget
We never got paid to this day, can't touch it
Tommy Boy dropped us the other homies cut
Going back to Baltimore the others sold stuff
Times getting tough bordering on desperation
I need inspiration, depression I was facin'

Sitting in the West and puffin' on the Lord
Tryin' to get ? but I only saw ?
Gave it up to God starting learning meditation
Prayed all the time building rhymes like a mason
'Round the same time Amp got the MP, C3G suddenly the energy
Was back on point, we made our first joint, it was called Venus and it felt like oint-
Ment to my soul, cause now we on a roll back in the studio something I can live for
Couple months later the divine had a plan
To form up a band, we can tour up the land
A couple names came, a couple names went
When Zion I came it was like a spaceship
Something we could sit in, didn't need to fit in
Independent, got the whole globe strippin'
Mind over Matter, to Deep Water Slang, summer in between came the Internet game
We went to True And Livin', then to The Break a Dawn, exclusive to Japan so we didn't do you wrong
Weed in my ??, ???? Download the show all they play is the ??
The Take Over came and it went hella hard
But we don't ever pop ???? ja
Now we tune in, the bass booming
??? Juncture for us humans
A sound of the time watch it go "tick tock"
We all will evolve, sync up Atomic Clock
