Rap Life Lyrics – Rich Cronin
Singer: Rich Cronin
Title: Rap Life
Take it back
Rap life
Remember that?
When I reminisce over you, my God
Rap life
Let’s take it back, yeah, check it, uh
I used to write rhymes on my window
Emcees had big ol’ chains and picked names like
Grandmaster Flash and Kool Moe Dee
Rick the Ruler, Doug Fresh, Run DMC (Run)
I rocked rhymes with my hair to the side (Uh)
Before “Electric Slide” and Vanilla Ice slide (Sucker)
It’s just about those old hip-hop beats (What)
They made me feel so free, imaginary emcee
I’m on by bed like the sage of the Apollo
Used to rock rhymes where there would be a rockin’ follow the leader
It was the big drum beater
First time on the block in some BKs and Filas (No doubt)
Nobody talked about prism rocks (Nope)
Just who would have the hottest rap tape on the block (Uh-huh)
Let’s take it way back to the Coke Rush
‘Cause I ain’t never loved a damn thing that much (Come on y’all)
Rap life
Everybody wants to be a star
Rap life
Everybody wants the fancy cars
Rap life
Everybody wants the {faster life?} (Yeah)
Once you get into it, you won’t believe your eyes, baby (Yeah)
Runnin’ home from school gotta see MTV Raps
Dre and Ed Lover, they brought the hip-hop to my town
Videos in ’88 like De La Soul, {BDP?}, straight out the gate, point blank
You’d never know what I’ve been through
Diggin’ Slick Rick when you were diggin’ Mötley Crüe
I’m writin’ rhymes with my blue paper plate
Ask myself, “Am I dreamin’? Or could it be fate?” (Uh)
I’m on the bus with my headphones on
Ain’t hard to tell, listenin’ to L rock the bells
I fell in love with Roxanne Shantè
And tripped off the things {?} would say
I miss the days of {fat maces?} and kangos
Big belt buckles with a place where your name goes
Let’s take it back for Scott La Rock
‘Cause I ain’t never heard no sh#t that hot (Come on y’all)
Rap life
Everybody wants to be a star
Rap life
Everybody wants the fancy cars (Uh)
Rap life
Everybody wants the {faster life?} (Yeah)
Once you get into it, you won’t believe your eyes, baby (Yeah, uh)
Do you remember when the biz was new?
He was pickin’ {?} with the whole Juice Crew
I was a big fan of {?}
They said, “That’s what it was, and that’s how it is” (How it is)
D and Run were the kings of rock
And Flavor Flav was lampin’ with a big ol’ clock (Uh)
I was back home, takin’ it in
Just hopin’ that one day, my time would begin
It’s a sin, the way I {?}
Twenty-six years, and ain’t a damn thing changed (Hell nah)
Except the way that emcees get paid (Uh)
