[XV talking] Primo! You know I was thinking it would've been real dope if I could've just recorded this on like a dual cassette recorder. But then I was thinking, damn I can't upload it. But it's cool, I'll keep it simple though. like two track or whatever. Yeah, ya know. With Donny Goines in here. Yeeerdig? [Verse One] [XV]: I got my Skee-Lo single My Nike box of tapes Aa couple of new originals and De La Soul's Stakes Is High, and Ryan borrowed my Black On Both Sides While I'm dubbing the color and the shape In the mix come on at 8:00 Index finger on that record button Grandma got me a dual deck to record something Blew the dust up off it, hit pause on playing tunes Sold my bike to my neighbor, lock myself into the room Told all of my dudes, got my demo coming soon I even drew the cover Resurrect the tape deck, man I Used To Love H.E.R She was like safe sex It went out around the year 2000 I'm down for the future, that's what I do now But what they did, the flame to our soul blew out Now everything is fusible and digital is doable So please bow your heads at the tape decks funeral [Hook]: The funeral of the tape deck The funeral of the tape deck The funeral of the tape deck The funeral of the tape deck [Verse Two] [Donny Goines]: The funeral of the tape deck My eulogy, musically just describes how I'm missing the way it used to be And even though all the CD players ain't new to me Usually I just reminisce of moments old school to me Blank cassette in my tape deck Recording them break sets I couldn't wait to hear what they played next When I was breaking my curfew, the tape it was purple Way before they started playing commercials A lost era in time Back when there was rewind I must admit I was a fan at the time But things change and it's evident that that era has died Now irrelevant, my sentiments I'm sharing with pride Because the generation now can't see what I visualize When it all epitomized the music all criticized And now the culture of hip hop is minimized May it now rest in peace Why my nigga died? [Hook]: The funeral of the tape deck The funeral of the tape deck The funeral of the tape deck The funeral of the tape deck [Outro] [Donny Goines]: I remember playing my tape so much those motherfuckers would pop. Walking down the block to get that new Clue, that new Ron G. Y'all too young for that, y'all don't know about that. Man what up? XV. You already know. Donny Goines
