Nineteen Seventy Something - Masta Ace.mp3

[00:22.235]I was raised to the sound of the 70's
[00:24.611]Earth, wind and fire, sounded so heavenly
[00:26.970]Ohio players and Curtis Mayfield
[00:29.889]Aretha Franklin's picture on a playbill
[00:32.543]Al Green in a tight suit, all white
[00:35.184]Minnie Riperton high notes, all night
[00:37.581]Mom's even had a box full of 45's
[00:39.936]Put the needle down, yea that sounds sorta live
[00:42.853]Sound like the kind of groove I could rap over
[00:45.494]Got drunk off the beat then I was back sober
[00:47.907]Bring that part back, yea I'mma murder that
[00:50.527]Donny Hat on the track with Roberta Flack
[00:53.180]Hide records
[00:54.452]In the bag
[00:55.786]Sneak them out before she notice that they gone
[00:58.449]Gotta think
[00:59.722]I don't know
[01:00.809]Should I rap of my mom's favorite song?
[01:03.181]Better hope I don't scratch it, or that's it
[01:05.864]I'mma get my ass kicked, that's a classic
[01:08.718]Can't explain that I was just borrowing it
[01:11.118]Moms on a rampage lookin' for her Parliament
[01:13.701]And Donny Hathaway feelin like a cast'away
[01:16.104]Hiding in grandmom's room more than half the day
[01:18.969]If I told her that her Parliament at brian crib
[01:21.354]And nobody home now, I'mma be a crying kid
[01:24.031]But it's seeming like I'm safe for the time being
[01:26.430]My uncle gettin all the blame far as I'm seeing
[01:29.396]I just gotta lay low like a snake belly
[01:31.787]It's a sticky situation like grape jelly
[01:34.450]I'm on the titanic, or some other boat
[01:37.116]Got my mother and her brother at each others throat
[01:44.499]You better hope mommy never find out
[01:47.177]Cause if she does then that's your ass

[02:05.325]The final act, Brian's at the door
[02:07.458]With a black and red nap sack
[02:08.997]Came to bring the vinyl back
[02:10.588]I put it back before anybody notices
[02:13.174]He said "close call" I said "yea I know this is"
[02:15.558]But I got away with it like the perfect crime
[02:17.918]And made the fresh tape, man it was worth the time
[02:20.836]An aggravation and stress almost made a mess
[02:23.225]She'd a found out it's me she would of laid to rest
[02:25.889]But I'm over like a fat rat
[02:28.007]That was smart it's a good thing you hid 'em in that backpack
[02:30.937]It feels so good to get that out the way
[02:33.581]Now I'm out the door, back out to play
[02:36.294]I'm about to say these are the good time like Chic
[02:39.976]And then I hear my mom shriek
[02:42.968]Duval
