12 Years Ago - T-Bone[00:00:00]
12 years ago a friend of mine[00:00:01]
Asked me to spit these MC rhymes[00:00:03]
So I said this rhyme I'm about to say[00:00:06]
The beat was dope and it went this way[00:00:09]
Well my name is T from the golden state[00:00:12]
They call San Andreas[00:00:15]
'Cause I cause earthquakes[00:00:16]
Been rhyming on the mic since the age of eight[00:00:18]
The fans and the people tell me that I'm great[00:00:21]
Y'all can hate but they relate[00:00:24]
Trying to get all of you walking[00:00:27]
Through them pearly gates[00:00:28]
I been to city's all around the globe Nicaragua[00:00:30]
Australia down to Tokyo [00:00:34]
Lima Peru and London back to San Tropez[00:00:36]
When I'm in Paris France pale vu France[00:00:39]
Seen me on TV and on big screens[00:00:42]
Now I'm crushing MC's like they jelly beans[00:00:45]
Now get both of them hands in tha air[00:00:48]
And wave 'em all around like[00:00:51]
In around like B-Boys in flair[00:00:52]
We bringing the noise and a raising our voice[00:00:54]
Plus I keep it old school like the Beastie Boys[00:00:57]
12 years ago a friend of mine [00:01:00]
Asked me to spit these MC rhymes [00:01:03]
So I said this rhyme I'm about to say [00:01:05]
The beat was dope and it went this way[00:01:08]
I had to take this rhyme back to the 80's[00:01:12]
When rap was 'bout skills DJ's and the ladies[00:01:14]
Didn't rhyme about sex and degrading themselves[00:01:17]
And rappers didn't glorify busting 'em shells[00:01:20]
This is a hip-hop blast from the past[00:01:24]
Stop all the violence put away all the straps[00:01:26]
Better enjoy the music 'cuz it's not gonna last[00:01:29]
If we keep on glorifying all the killing and gats[00:01:32]
The milies and Mac's the chronic and hash[00:01:35]
And the cats slanging Perico on the corner for cash[00:01:38]
We gotta try to make a change for the better[00:01:41]
And stop selling out for the fame and the cheddar[00:01:44]
Put down Berretta quit throwing up letters[00:01:47]
I'm trying to make a[00:01:50]
Difference it ain't getting no better[00:01:51]
That's why I came to represent for all of my people[00:01:53]
Wit conscious rap Chico 'cuz it's almost illegal[00:01:56]

Peace love and respect to Run DMC [00:02:11]
LL Cool J and the treacherous three [00:02:14]
Kool G Rap and Kool Mo Dee [00:02:17]
Marley Marl Kool Herc and Kid Capri [00:02:19]
I was blessed to make records wit KRS [00:02:22]
Now I'm hustling hard trying to[00:02:25]
Resurrect the West [00:02:27]
1 love to all the people that passed away [00:02:29]
Big Pun Pac Biggie Jam Master Jay[00:02:31]
