History Lyrics by ExZac Change & Iyzlow Matisse

The Great Outdoors EP

2018

(INTRO)
Iyzlow Matisse:
Man so we been talkin about favorite albums of all time, no skippers, favorite emcees. I just, I gotta know man, when it comes to Hip-Hop and the music you make, where do you get your inspiration from, who are you inspired by?
ExZac Change:
I'm inspired by people around me that uh you know, affect my day to day life. Just the world around me really. What inspires you?
Iyzlow Matisse:
Man. Me? Personally? You know I've always had this philosophy man, when I think about Hip-Hop, you know:
(VERSE 1)
Iyzlow Matisse:
They sayin Real Hip-hop is what you make it /
Makin' moves with ya people puttin' feet up on the pavement /
Ain't no need in bein' fake unless you seekin' a replacement /
Put away your mask and cape cuz no one needed you to save it /
I been up for several days just contemplating the state of things /
It had me fucked up bump some biggie as I take a drink /
It made me think back to the pioneers /
Learn from my history then apply it to my career /
I take it back to where it started /
Kickin' beats in the park until they kicked us out at dark /
Then run back to the apartment /
Sneakin out to take a toke off the pipe I had stashed /
Hopin' moms didn’t catch me getting high & writin' raps /
What kinda life is that for her only son /
But I bumped Nas, Wu, Hov, and Pun /
Pass me the torch and I'ma hold it up /
Its just the newest chapter up inside that book of rhymes /
I write this for the school that’s comin' after us so they can shine /
(HOOK)
Iyzlow Matisse:
Wherever I go now /
And all these shows that I hold down /
I'm just lettin' y'all know now /
That you about to learn some history today /
(Cuz that's the way we gon')
Slow down /
And pay homage to the old crown /
The foundation of the whole sound /
Yeah you about to learn some history today /
(Cuz that's the way we gon' shine)
(VERSE 2)
ExZac Change:
Real Hip-Hop is food for thought /
Spread knowledge even without a college degree, see /
This is reality where people count calories and salary /
And nothin' comes free /
So be smart, and follow your heart /
Some people are real, some aren't /
Learn to tell 'em apart /
Be cautious of impostors who claim to be your friends /
Think your roster full of all-stars, they really on the bench /
Don't do what the world tells ya, do what ya heart tells ya /
Get an art major, travel to Australia /
You won't believe what this life can bring /
But once you see it you'll believe and realize that I'm not tryna preach /
I wanna teach you all the things I never knew when I was still in school /
For you to use, learn how to bend the rules /
And learn from the mistakes you make, before they hurt you /
And remember, patience is a virtue /
(HOOK)
Iyzlow Matisse:
Wherever I go now /
And all these shows that I hold down /
I'm just lettin' y'all know now /
That you about to learn some history today /
(Cuz that's the way we gon')
Slow down /
And pay homage to the old crown /
The foundation of the whole sound /
Yeah you about to learn some history today /
(Cuz that's the way we gon' shine)
