歌词
(Verse 1)
Yo, check it, I found a tape, straight out the vault
Like a time capsule, it's a nostalgic assault
2024, but it's a '90s gem
Lost in the archives, now we bring it to them
(Chorus)
It's the sound of the past, the beat's so tight
An auditory treasure, lost in the night
A vintage vibe, but fresh on the scene
This tape's a time machine, know what I mean?
(Verse 2)
Rewind the tape, let's take it back
To the golden era, where the real heads at
Boom-bap beats, scratches on the track
This tape's a relic, can't believe it's back
(Chorus)
It's the sound of the past, the beat's so tight
An auditory treasure, lost in the night
A vintage vibe, but fresh on the scene
This tape's a time machine, know what I mean?
(Bridge)
From the boombox streets to the underground
This tape's a lost gem, now it's found
Hip-hop heads, gather 'round and see
This auditory treasure, a legacy
(Verse 3)
No streaming, no Spotify, just a tape deck
Press play, let it flow, it's a safe bet
Rugged flows, raw rhymes, that classic feel
This tape's a time capsule, keeping it real
(Chorus)
It's the sound of the past, the beat's so tight
An auditory treasure, lost in the night
A vintage vibe, but fresh on the scene
This tape's a time machine, know what I mean?
[Verse 4]
In the basement parties, with the DJ spinning
MCs on the mic, the crowd is grinning
Breakdancers on the floor, popping and locking
This tape's a time capsule, no need for talking
[Verse 5]
From the graffiti walls to the street corner cyphers
This tape's a time machine, igniting the fires
Of the '90s era, where the culture thrived
In every beat and rhyme, our essence survived
[Bridge]
Let the tape roll, let the memories flow
From the streets of Brooklyn to the L.A. show
From the golden coast to the city lights
This tape's a time machine, taking flight
[Verse 6]
Through the struggles and the joy, the heart and the soul
In every scratch on this tape, stories unfold
Of the ones who paved the way, the legends we revere
This tape's a time capsule, make it clear
[Chorus]
It's the sound of the past, the beat's so tight
An auditory treasure, lost in the night
A vintage vibe, but fresh on the scene
This tape's a time machine, know what I mean?
[Verse 7]
But as the years went by, the tape was forgotten
Buried in boxes, its memory rotten
Until one day, it resurfaced anew
In a dusty old attic, where the memories grew
[Verse 8]
But with its discovery came a sense of dread
For those who knew what the tape had led
In the '90s, it caused quite a stir
Now in 2024, would it still occur?
[Bridge]
The whispers started, the rumors spread
About the tape that was once thought dead
For those who remembered its controversial past
Its reappearance was a shadow cast
[Verse 9]
In the digital age, where everything's online
The tape was a relic, a sign of its time
But with its message, came a warning bell
Of the controversies it once did tell
[Verse 10]
Some wanted it buried, erased from the scene
For fear of the chaos, the trouble it'd mean
But others saw it as a piece of history
A reminder of our roots, our hip-hop legacy
[Chorus]
It's the sound of the past, the beat's so tight
An auditory treasure, lost in the night
A vintage vibe, but fresh on the scene
This tape's a time machine, know what I mean?
(Outro)
So let it play on, let the tape rewind
In every groove and rhythm, our stories combined
This tape's a time machine, a legacy unfurled
For the love of hip-hop, it's the heart of
[Chorus]
It's the sound of the past, the beat's so tight
An auditory treasure, lost in the night
A vintage vibe, but fresh on the scene
This tape's a time machine, know what I mean?
So let it play on, let the tape rewind
In every groove and rhythm, our stories combined
This tape's a time machine, a legacy unfurled
For the love of hip-hop
(Outro)
As the tape reaches its end, the vibe still lingers
A reminder of the era, the pioneers and bringers
Of this culture we hold dear, it's a piece of history
Preserved on this tape, for all to see.
(Outro)
So let it play on, let the tape rewind
In every groove and rhythm, our stories combined
This tape's a time machine, a legacy unfurled
For the love of hip-hop, it's the heart of our world.
it's the heart of our world.
