[Chorus] It used to sound like It used to sound like Now it sounds like But now it sounds like It used to sound like It used to sound like Now it sounds like But now it sounds like [Verse 1] I remember back in the days DJ's spinning and they scratch and amaze Freestyle teams in the street, they protect turf No schemes in the beef, just a wet verse Grand flash and the furious five Wack crews to a minimum Dope is provoking them And the hip-hop hope is the opium Top pinnacle, rocking spots pivotal To the advancement, the movement Of a b-boy spinning on his cap to the music Send thrills through a windmill Ice sheets through a tight beat Hot coals on a bomb flow Bomb flows to a lost soul Now found in a poncho Now warm from the storm of the world of the hostile Where the mc's plugged with the crowd like a console Gaming. But not games when The cypher sparks, the MC's playpen Hip-hop is a jewel, not a fake gem The birth of a voice on which the pain swept [Chorus] It used to sound like It used to sound like Now it sounds like But now it sounds like It used to sound like It used to sound like Now it sounds like But now it sounds like [Verse 2] So where we at now? 30 plus years Where we at now? Let the blood smear It's all about the money, get that cheese Pockets fat, not flat, make them envy The new school's trynna take over All tired of the thugs and guns, give it a make-over So now we have a new wave of glam rappers Bright shirts and tight pants, they mad at us But the new never listen to the veterans The new wanna progress and be better than But the fat gold chains from the 80's Is tied to our ankles, dangling, flailing So should we learn to cut them off? Or maybe run with it through the tall grass helping us evolve To solve, the re-occurring issues Keep our heads high, instead of down in the tissue Taller than Shaq standing on the Eiffel tip Hip-hop is a jewel, not another brick [Chorus] It used to sound like It used to sound like Now it sounds like But now it sounds like It used to sound like It used to sound like Now it sounds like But now it sounds like Now it sounds like
