[00:01.00] 作曲 : Stanley Bryan Robinson
[00:03.42]I remember way back in the day
[00:08.37]I remember way back in the day
[00:10.23]Do you remember
[00:13.35]Taking y’all back way before this all happened
[00:15.54]Do you remember
[00:17.04]Let's take a trip way back in the day
[00:21.63]Never aimed to be a caricature
[00:23.73]Always working on my character, bruh
[00:25.50]People say they want the real and I’m here still but where is the love?
[00:28.86]Put on for P.G. 'fore I heard somebody rep where I'm from
[00:31.62]Worldwide I… get it done but I don’t overdo it
[00:35.61]Share my soul but I don’t want to lose it
[00:38.37]Wasn’t put here for your amusement
[00:40.20]You gon’ respect the man more than you respect the music
[00:42.78]From where your safety is determined by your address
[00:45.30]Some live long enough to be legends and gain some assets
[00:48.36]Though it’s rugged where we struggled through the madness
[00:50.76]Always knew we had more to offer although we had less
[00:53.43]Through it all, it was always me and my mother
[00:55.89]My sisters 'fore they moved out and occasionally my brother
[00:58.56]The homies and a radio that stayed on 1580
[01:01.02]TV on The Box, locked, hoping one day that they'd play me
[01:03.69]Nonstop sun… back when me rappin’ wasn’t as lucrative
[01:06.63]And hot ones wasn’t a show that they interview you in
[01:09.27]Hostile. No poetic justice only punitive
[01:12.03]Cops was… ****in’ with us daily, we weren’t doing shit
[01:14.58]Regardless, the Godless, treat you like a felon though
[01:17.37]Try’na to sell my demo so I kinda was selling dope
[01:20.16]What’s more addictive than the music? Acceptance
[01:22.98]So we learned to turn our curses into blessins
[01:25.29]It’s funny how souls are fed by starving artists
[01:27.87]No matter the road ahead, we make progress
[01:30.42]If you know, you know, you know?
[01:32.22]A lil’ flava for your soul, your soul, your soul! Keep on
[01:35.82]I write like it won’t be read, to be honest
[01:38.43]Live it up ‘fore I rest my head ‘cause nothing’s promised
[01:41.10]If you know, you know, you know?
[01:42.90]A lil’ flava for your soul, your soul, your soul! Enjoy
[01:46.89]A little kid from Fort Washington was always of Iverson
[01:49.59]Mall playing basketball in my David Robinsons
[01:52.26]I moved to PG County when I was five or somethin’
[01:54.57]Was rhyming some but wasn’t that biggie like Bedford Stuyvesant
[01:57.63]I had the butter timbs but Rick had the double souls
[02:00.15]We was like brothers so we would borrow each other's clothes
[02:03.03]Get the most girls numbers was our summer goals
[02:05.34]And when she looked down at my feet, she’d be like what are thoOooose?
[02:08.73]Jonin’ was our favorite past time
[02:10.62]You better not be outside if it was past nine
[02:13.35]Dancing at the house party. Now you’re trying to smash huh?
[02:16.08]I was playing video games, Sega, and Capcom
[02:18.69]Fashion’s RP55
[02:20.91]And ain’t they play work the walls like 50 times?
[02:23.64]Paget’s corner pool parties it was really live
[02:26.31]With your peach rock Creek and some chili fries… uh
[02:29.61]Suitland High’s my alma mater I was brought up
[02:31.74]‘Round a lot of different problem starters thought about just how to solve them
[02:34.68]Calm, and never sort of bothered even when in hotter water
[02:37.35]Taught to keep it cooler than when you’re wearing and Eddie Bauer Parker
[02:40.38]We would park up at the park and just spark up
[02:42.66]Wasn’t really long before a Freestyle would start up
[02:45.21]Run back and do my homework. Think of how my day be
[02:47.85]Turn on the radio and just vibe to 1580
[02:50.58]It’s funny how souls are fed by starving artists
[02:53.22]No matter the road ahead, we make progress
[02:55.74]If you know, you know, you know?
[02:57.63]A lil’ flava for your soul, your soul, your soul! Keep on
[03:01.14]I write like it won’t be read, to be honest
[03:03.75]Live it up ‘fore I rest my head ‘cause nothing’s promised
[03:06.45]If you know, you know, you know?
[03:08.31]A lil’ flava for your soul, your soul, your soul! Enjoy
[03:11.85]Flavaaaaa!!! On the mix
[03:14.34]Take you back to 1580
[03:15.57]You heard it on the radio
[03:17.31]Taking y’all back when before this all happened
[03:19.98]Radio! Flava 1580
[03:23.64]Take you back to 1580
[03:25.17]Back when before this all happened
[03:27.54]Do you remember
[03:31.02]Back when before this all happened
[03:33.09]Flava 1580, the assault on commercial rap radio continues on y’all
[03:37.32]Keep on
[03:38.79]Always first with the phat new beats, it’s flava 1580
[03:53.61]Keep on
