Bring It Back - The Noisy Freaks, None Like Joshua

I remember back in ‘94, a time of war

Between the lame dinosaurs and gangstas of fine couture

The less forgotten, now the messages are effortless

It’s time to resurrect and not neglect the master penmanship

Whatever happened to connecting to the streets?

And respect upon the beat, never set it on repeat

I see your rap style and proceed to laugh wild

So please keep it down while I bring it back now

(Bring it, bring it, bring it, bring it, bring it)

Bring it back now

Yo, I remember when we wrote it all down

So we jump, jumped around, no jokes or the clowns

Cause we spoke with our minds and the dopest rhymes

Saying «fuck the police,» no gold or a dime

When we waved our hands side to side

Dance, why comply when the rave demands high

Stand by for another damn radio lie

Landlines staying quiet, why you playing this jive?

Hip-hop's back with a thift-shop swag

I kick it up a notch with the wild-ball mags

Remember Slim Shady wasn’t this angry

Losing ourselves to the funk and get crazy

Bass ringing, 80's swingin, make me want to sing it ain’t

Nothing but a g-thang baby, yeah

You listening to what I got to say?

When it was all about the pay, we forgot about Dre

(I bring it back now)

From New York to California

The whole world is counting on ya

The east side, the west coast

Do you remember when we used to sing?

Do you remember when nobody was the best?

When we got to express off of the chest

Till we rest in peace

The less forgotten, now the messages are effortless

I’m setting the stage, pencil to page

To never neglect the pioneers

And we were dead but I sing it out loud

Till they hear it downtown, I don’t need a wild crowd

Just speaking how it sounds, so delete your rap style

Cause I, cause I, cause I bring it back now

From New York, NYC, to California, straight outta Compton

The whole world, the whole world, is counting on ya, we’re all counting on you

The east side, to the east, the west coast, to the west

Do you remember when we used to sing?

Yo, I remember when we wrote it all down

So we jump, jumped around, no jokes or the clowns

Cause we spoke with our minds and the dopest rhymes

Saying «fuck the police,» no gold or a dime

When we waved our hands side to side

Dance, why comply when the rave demands high

Stand by for another damn radio lie

Landlines staying quiet, why you playing this jive?

From New York to California

The whole world is counting on ya

The east side, the west coast

Do you remember when we used to sing?
