«As far as rap go

Times have changed

I spent time in the game, kept my mind on fame»

Ayo, once upon a time when no C.E.O.'s

Before cassette, CDs and MP3 downloads

There lived corner ciphers, writers who craft flows

Snipers tagged up on the iron horse doors

Talkin' way back, before platinum replaced gold

Goin' through the stages, the phases of hip hop

Niggas threw they dukes up, beefin' with they foes

Cheeba they would blow to the ceilin' in them old days

Before they rocked Gucci shades or them throwbacks

We need the soul back, waitin' on the days

It was VCR, Kodak, hi-top fades

Seein' rap age with no respect for the old cats

Birth of an art form before the age of the dot com

Classic boom bap lead the hard on

Stages we go through

Old school to the new

Seein' the past in the present day view

«As far as rap go

Times have changed

I spent time in the game, kept my mind on fame»

It’s the

«Stages and phases that we go through»

Yo, once upon the present

Evident how the game shift lane

We try to adapt as time change

The majors in peril, the Internet the devil

And the answer to, «Who got next?»

now in the stereo

Bezel’s replace time clocks on the necklace

Then Nas went reckless, handin' us rap’s burial

Everyone you know either rap or in production

When past rap discussion, y’all cats be frontin'

No respect for those who paved ways to make this a billion dollar business

I feel y’all should witness

A rebirth, with each verse I give it

Advisory lyrics

Distribute middle fingers to the censors

Since it’s senseless to say niggas, will pick respect, over image

Fact over fiction

Past division from east to west, lead to homicide

These modern times have me lost in my mind

«As far as rap go

Times have changed

I spent time in the game, kept my mind on fame»

It’s the

«Stages and phases that we go through»

Ayo, once upon the future I see it through telescopes

They want me to be calm and chill, tell 'em «nope»

I am hope for what lacks in rap

Reks is actually that piece missin' division

Bringin' what really matters back

Open your cataracts

See focus is quarterbacks in forth quarters, where your true rappers at?

They told 'em, «You can never come back to run rap, you had your chance.»

Did an advance, Reks you washed up

Watch the show off for Showoff, mop up

Your butt with your so so bars till they so so large

Professor’s flow so beyond

Cranium walls, you catch the next rhyme on the rewind

Your mind on the decline

We shine like the bling on the v-line

Or sweater vest’s, Reks is next on the feline

Childhood to adolescence to where we met

«Stages and phases» — Large Professor

Age is experience

Yeah, R-E-K-S.

Large Profess and Statik Selek.

What it is?

«Stages and phases that we go through»

It’s the

«Stages and phases that we go through»

«As far as rap go»

«Times have changed»

«I spent time in the game»

«What defines my name»

«Cause one day you’re A and the next you may

Have a brand new topic and see a new way»
