Way Back - Tanya Stephens (坦娅·斯蒂文斯)[00:00:00]
Ladies and gentlemen[00:00:08]
I want to invite you on a journey[00:00:09]
I sincerely hope you are in a mood to travel right now[00:00:11]
'Cause we're going back in time[00:00:14]
Are you ready [00:00:18]
I wanna take you way back[00:00:22]
To when a girl on a mikes worth[00:00:25]
Wasnt determined by the length of her skirt[00:00:27]
I mean way back to creativity before MTV[00:00:29]
Before BET[00:00:34]
I mean way back before recycling sh*t[00:00:35]
When the props that you got was for your writing and sh*t[00:00:38]
Lets rewind before the hype when you used to be low key[00:00:41]
To be a singer you had to actually know key[00:00:44]
I mean way back to before people made a job[00:00:47]
Of seeing whos best at impersonating Bob[00:00:50]
I mean way back to when you sweat blood on every line[00:00:53]
To get one good song didnt cost sixteen ninety nine[00:00:56]
To be considered deep you had to actually say stuff[00:00:58]
And if it wasnt good[00:01:02]
Disc jockeys didnt play stuff[00:01:03]
I mean way way[00:01:04]
Marvin Gaye way back and I pray that you will[00:01:06]
Come with me[00:01:11]
Let us journey past this melody[00:01:14]
Give us room to exercise our minds[00:01:21]
Take me to another place[00:01:28]
Another time[00:01:29]
Better hooks[00:01:30]
Better rhymes[00:01:31]
Stronger lyrics every line[00:01:31]
You could even press rewind[00:01:33]
Come with me let us journey past this fallacy[00:01:35]
Give us room to exercise our minds[00:01:44]
Take you to another place[00:01:51]
Another time[00:01:53]
Better hooks[00:01:53]
Better rhymes[00:01:54]
Stronger lyrics every line[00:01:55]
You could even press rewind[00:01:56]
Well its ironic that the chronic that I smoke[00:01:58]
Got me singing sh*t thats bionic every note[00:02:01]
That its affecting my judgment is what some people would hope[00:02:03]
But I'm not tripping[00:02:07]
I'm on a journey[00:02:07]
Come along now lets float[00:02:08]
I used to be excited going to the record store[00:02:09]
But these days I stay pacing the floor[00:02:13]
Somebody please take me back to when the artistes were poor[00:02:15]
'Cause when they made less they gave us so much more[00:02:18]
Lets take it back to a ballroom[00:02:21]
Cloudy microphone[00:02:24]
Smokey Robinson[00:02:25]
Nina Simone[00:02:26]
James Brown was still occupying the throne[00:02:27]
When the songs werent sold off videos alone[00:02:30]
Way back to when a star attitude wasnt defined[00:02:33]
By somebody being rude[00:02:38]
To when it was a pleasure definitely not a task[00:02:39]
To greet a fan with a smile and sign a damn autograph[00:02:42]
I mean way back to before you used to drive the Maybach[00:02:45]
You dreamt about a mil but never made that[00:02:49]
When you made some sh*t that we could play back[00:02:52]
I mean way back to a whole nother time[00:02:56]
Further back than your granddads hairline[00:03:00]
I mean way back[00:03:03]
Won't you say that you will[00:03:06]
Come with me[00:03:09]
Let us journey past this melody[00:03:13]
Give us room to exercise our minds[00:03:19]
Take me to another place[00:03:26]
Another time[00:03:27]
Better hooks[00:03:28]
Better rhymes[00:03:29]
Stronger lyrics every line[00:03:29]
You could even press rewind[00:03:31]
Come with me[00:03:33]
Let us journey past this fallacy[00:03:36]
Give us room to exercise our minds[00:03:42]
Take you to another place[00:03:50]
Another time better hooks[00:03:51]
Better rhymes[00:03:52]
Stronger lyrics every line[00:03:53]
You could even press rewind[00:03:54]
And it came to pass in the glorious days of charts[00:03:57]
That the music hailed and we danced to it[00:04:00]
And threw a party but in our hearts we knew the musicians failed[00:04:04]
And then came along brothers[00:04:08]
Napster and Aimster[00:04:10]
And though they were definitely wrong I think it's worse[00:04:11]
To be forced to buy a whole b******t album[00:04:14]
Just to get that one good song[00:04:16]
Can I get an Amen[00:04:18]
Come with me[00:04:19]
Let us journey past this melody[00:04:23]
Give us room to exercise our minds[00:04:29]
Take it to another place[00:04:36]
Another time[00:04:38]
Better hooks[00:04:39]
Better rhymes[00:04:39]
Stronger lyrics every line[00:04:40]
You could even press rewind[00:04:42]
Come with me[00:04:44]
Let us journey past this fallacy[00:04:47]
Give us room to exercise our minds[00:04:53]
Take it to another place[00:05:00]
Another time[00:05:02]
Better hooks[00:05:02]
Better rhymes[00:05:03]
Stronger lyrics every line[00:05:04]
You could even press rewind[00:05:06]
Come with me[00:05:08]
