Take It Back Lyrics by Madlib

Chrome Children, Vol. 1

2006

[Verse 1: Madlib]
Keeps it poppin' like West coast in '83
When we was bumpin' Slave, Rick James and Lady T
My man with the East coast taste from Red Alert
Pete Rock, Marley Marl, put-tin in work
On the West we had Julio G on KDAY
Mixmaster Michael mixin' more in his heyday
Rob 1 droppin' shit so niggas could break
All my real niggas—all a nigga wanna do is get cake
All them other niggas—all a nigga wanna do is be fake
But now, oh, shit, damn, I'm goin' to another wake
Remember, 'bout the times in school, when we made a fool
Of ourselves to impress a girl, tryin to be cool
Oh, some niggas gettin' sprung on coke
I'm like, oh, young niggas gettin' sprung off (*Shot*)
Oh, shit! Some niggas never learnin' the ropes (Ropes, ropes, ropes)

[Bridge: Style P, Fuzzy Jones & Madlib]
"Hustling up"
"Fucking you up"
"Talk all that"
"Fuck all that"
"Hardcore new V.R."
"Mathematic, here in Cali, rally"
"Dirty, I can't help it"
"I been an addict"
"Believe me!
All massive and all crew line up
They can't get we out"
Who that nigga over there, man? (Yeah)

[Verse 2: Madlib]
Niggas lookin' over here like shit is sweet
All day mad, 'cause a nigga said his shit is weak
Askin' for a true opinion, get mad when a nigga speak
I ain't got no time for that shit, I already figure the nigga's weak
You can't even trust your own best friend or your man and them
'Cause them niggas only worry about the shit you handin' them
Shit, all a nigga wanna do is get cake
All a nigga wanna do is be fake
Look around, all snakes, for heaven sakes
Buried with fake, I carry it hate, made in every state (State, state, state)

[Outro: Madlib, Common & Fuzzy Jones]
Rock, oh-oh, uh
Dilla Dawg
Madlib, yeah
Oh, oh, Dilla
"Let's build on it"
"In— in— in a Cadillac with the grill fronted"
"To— to— toting in the BM, tell—"
"Tell them players I'm the GM"
"Believe me!
That is the wickedest sound that play
And it is the new celebrity
Along with all massive and all crew line up
The can't get we out
When it comes to championship, it's we have it
And when it comes to dignitary
("Yeah, hah, yeah")
Oh, God, we nah talk 'bout the business
("We got it, uh-huh ")
We have it very versatile
And when it comes to sound
You cyan pass we
'Cause we have done cross the border already
And all dem kind of thing deh"
