2014 Lyrics - Singles - Tha Alkaholiks

Back in the days, I knew rap would never die 

Back in the days, I knew rap would never die 

The year is 2004, people talk about war 

I had to hit the floor when the bombs began to pour 

Ten minutes ago I was mad 'cause my stomach was grumbling 

Now the whole world is crumbling 

I hear people scream across the street gettin' crushed 

This went on for twenty minutes then the whole world hushed 

I couldn't see shit but I could feel myself breathin' 

Damn, I'm still kickin' but I'm just not believin' 

I give thanks to God then I'm off on my mission 

Ain't no stars in the sky so it ain't no wishin' 

I wonder, I wonder, I just can't understand 

Why am I the last man? 

Back in the days, I knew rap would never die 

Back in the days, I knew rap would never die 

Back in the days, I knew rap would never die 

Back in the days, I knew rap would never die 

These crazy thoughts in my head won't stop 

Where's my moms and my pops and what about hip-hop 

I'm pickin' up things that could be of use to me 

To build a makeshift crib where Hollywood used to be 

And it ain't no forties, it ain't no blunts 

I ain't had no ass in five years and eight months 

Five more years pass and I still survive 

And I'm through with wonderin' who's still alive 

Until one day I'm just walkin' along 

And I hear this kid singin' a hip-hop song 

He said, "That's the way it is and it's like that" 

I said, "Yo kid c'mere, where you learn that song at?" 

He said, "My daddy taught me about the hip-hop game 

I'm eight years old and Rakim is my name" 

He said, "Yo I'll take you to him, come follow me 

But first you gotta prove that you can MC" 

So I cleared my throat got in a b-boy stance 

And I ran through a rhyme that made him piss in his pants 

With tears in his eyes, he grabbed me by the hand 

And then we ran, ten miles across the sand 

He took me to the spot, dig deep underground 

Where I can hear the sound of the big bass pound 

I wasn't really sure but I swore we smelled blunt smoke 

No joke loc, well can I get a toke? 

He took me to his pops and he handed me a spliff 

And out behind the wall came Tash and E-Swift 

They took me to a freestyle session it was on 

I knew hip-hop would never be gone 

Five hundred hip-hop deep 

Yo, we cool in 2014, Alkaholiks still rulin' 

Back in the days, I knew rap would never die 

Back in the days, I knew rap would never die 

Back in the days, I knew rap would never die 

Back in the days, I knew rap would never die 

It's gonna live forever 

This goes out to the P-Town, [Incomprehensible]
