Nostalgia Lyrics by Impulse

Rap Genius Tape (Volume 1)

0

[Produced by Kid Pharaoh]

[Verse 1]
My eyes wide open, pockets full of hope and
Ideas that were written but never truly spoken
They say that, "Good things come to those who wait,"
And I guess that’s why the D-Boys is pushing weight
‘Cause with that fine philosophy, I know I’ll more than probably
Be the most patient dead man in these United States
But since the drugs ain't the route, I’m headed to the booth
To record the black thought that's coming straight from the roots
Of the culture, reach retracted by the vultures
But with no arms we still have a classic sculpture
Now back to my trip to the studio
Weather's too hot with no signs of Coolio
The rain's pouring down — I take it metaphoric
Feelin' euphoric knowin' the rise is meteoric
Recitin' my lines — rewritin' my rhymes
Thinkin' to myself in the back of my mind
The sun's finally shinin' on a very long night
Welcome to the first day of the rest of my life

[Hook]
To my bro S.B. — it's for you, yeah it's really all for you
To my mother of 17 — it's for you, yeah it's really all for you
To the homie J Millz — it's for you, and for your daughter too
For the family in my will — it's for you, yeah it's really all for you

[Verse 2]
Eyes closed, subtle smile, sun on my face
Perfect recipe for nostalgia’s embrace
Suddenly back in Spring Break of Freshman Year
Comes to me I'm the only future Freshman here
G White came through so I paid my dues
"Pilot" rolled through with rave reviews
Obscure braniac subscribed by T-Maniac
On a major mixtape that I heard about
Mixed a K.P. Beat with word of mouth
Now I'm hearing my voice on the radio
Interviews accrue — nobody made me go
Label into scopin' me when they know that slim shady though
Wade through allure while I'm on tour
Get a call down the road on my new phone
Shocked to hear that Jay-Z knows me
Unprecedented deal to The R-O-C
10 years of 5 classic solo LP's
And collabs in contention for Nobel Peace
Married to C.D., proud father of 3
Signing artists all over the D.M.V
Hundreds of millions of fans, and thousands of bands
Broke 'em all for that overhead… you understand
So with one good look at my well built hive
I'm world wide… Top 5 dead or alive

[Hook]
To my faithful fans — it's for you, yeah it's really all for you
For those that never really planned — it's for you, yeah it's really all for you
To my good friend Ace — it's for you, yeah it's really all for you
To the critics in my face — I know you love me so it’s for you too
I.M.!
