Back In The Day by Tyler Seawood Lyrics
[Verse: D2G]
Yo, I remember Saturday mornings cleaning up in my room
When V103 was blasting all the throwback tunes
From Michael Jackson and Prince onto The Isleys
That is til hip hop came with Grandmaster Flash & the Furious 5 g
They say its like a jungle sometimes, and made me wonder
How a message so powerful kept me from going under
Even spoke my first words thanks to Kool Moe Dee
To learning all the Treacherous ways of OPP
When Rakim was showing rappers how it should be done
And to this day, his style is identical to none
This was back when the music used to backset on the vibes
Soundtrack to my life, was orchestrated A Tribe
Called Quest.....I swear that this time was the best
But these days the feeling's gone so now we settle for less
So this is why I pen my feelings so these days ain't gone
Word to (scratches) "6 mins 2G, YOU'RE ON"
[Chorus: Chris Michael]
Do you remember when music used to be all you need
To bring you through anything
It gave you hope for tomorrow, while reminiscing on memories
I remember when music had the power to save my soul
Back in the day
Music set you free
[Verse: Jovan Landry]
See, now I remember when the golden age had Wu Tang, Nas and Kid and Play
Assorted sounds in harmony
And I can say, that I’m so blessed to be exposed to all these sounds
That’s now embedded in my memory, cause that’s all I need
To keep the culture going and flowing
And steadily be owning the stage, like how they did at Arsenio
What they did was so pivotal, everyone was so lyrical
And now that I got it, their legacy is habitual
See now, Ooh-la-la, I can recollect so vividly
Killing me Softly was my was my favorite by The Fugees
There used to be a strong woman presence in the industry
Who would’ve known, how in the end it really mean to me
Remember those who had passed away:
Left Eye, Pun, Big and Pac, Big L, ODB, Phife, Jam Master Jay
And because of y'all, you’re so legendary
I remember all the all those rhymes, and the greatness you carried
[Chorus: Chris Michael]
Do you remember when music used to be all you need
To bring you through anything
It gave you hope for tomorrow, while reminiscing on memories
I remember when music had the power to save my soul
Back in the day
Music set you free
[Bridge: Chris Michael]
In a time where we're so disconnected from reality
Good music is the way back to unity
It brings the love and peace
And harmony we need
Everytime your feeling down and out
Take a second just to think about
[Chorus: Chris Michael]
Do you remember when music used to be all you need
To bring you through anything
It gave you hope for tomorrow, while reminiscing on memories
I remember when music had the power to save my soul
Back in the day
Music set you free
[Bass & Saxophone Solo]
[Chorus: Chris Michael]
Do you remember when music used to be all you need
To bring you through anything
It gave you hope for tomorrow, while reminiscing on memories
I remember when music had the power to save my soul
Back in the day
Music set you free
[Outro: Chris Michael]
Unity, love and peace
Is all we need
I gotta have it
(Repeat)
