Dr Octagon - Takin' It Back Lyrics

Kool Keith
Way before down South, way before down South
Hip hop in Chicago, hip hop, in Chicago
Rap on the West coast, rap on the West, rap on the West
Come follow me

PS 53 classmate with Kenny Pound
The Cold Crush Brother, watching 'Cassanova Lover'
The master flower, Keith Thornton, there's no other
My class over at three with Bronx MC's

The super imposer, cruisin' on the major deacon
Quarts and blunts, sippin' Olde E on the weekend
My girl, Fatima, half black and Puerto Rican
I'm movin' fast rate, Webster down to Bathgate

A lot of guys was good, but many came half weight
The comp got bad, the city came half rate
Think to the critics, I left them all in debate

PS 53, I'm takin' it back
Junior high school, I'm takin' it back
147, I'm takin' it back
I went to Clinton, I'm takin' it back
Come follow me

12 o'clock lunchtime, bangin' on the school table
I was able more fatal to spin around like tornado
Catchin' 'Batman and Robin', 'Green Hornet' and Kato
The main attraction was 'Grandmaster Flash' action

I tell brothers, Mean Gene was with the L Brothers
Cordio Vex with Phase 2 drawin' flyers
The crowd is fat, the people jumpin' over wires
The 5 train runnin', the crew comin' down from Dyer

Footline express, the last car but we don't fire
Schlitz malt liq', the P.A.L. gettin' higher
With Union Ave up there, we used to watch stick up kids
Go and laugh up there

PS 53, I'm takin' it back
Junior high school, I'm takin' it back
147, I'm takin' it back
I went to Clinton, I'm takin' it back
Come follow me

Cazal's in the place, girls peep my quarter field
Fur on the collar, the German Shepherd feel real
Breakout and Baron, in the club, on the wheels of steel
Kool Herc in Cedar Park, echoes down the hill

Echo chamber, yes, yes, y'all
When B-1's was out, with the orange lights, where was y'all?
The Saigons, the nomads, The Black Spades
Alexander's and Juman's was the real spot

Pro-Keds and Converse stayed real hot
Turtlenecks and shirts, AJ's and overlap
Stetson hats, bustin' over mean raps

PS 53, I'm takin' it back
Junior high school, I'm takin' it back
147, I'm takin' it back
I went to Clinton, I'm takin' it back
Come follow me

I'm takin' it back, I'm takin' it back
Come follow me
I'm takin' it back, I'm takin' it back
Come follow me

I'm takin' it back, I'm takin' it back
Come follow me
I'm takin' it back, I'm takin' it back
Come follow me
