[00:00:00] 12 Years Ago - T-Bone

[00:00:01] 12 years ago a friend of mine

[00:00:03] Asked me to spit these MC rhymes

[00:00:06] So I said this rhyme I'm about to say

[00:00:09] The beat was dope and it went this way

[00:00:12] Well my name is T from the golden state

[00:00:15] They call San Andreas

[00:00:16] 'Cause I cause earthquakes

[00:00:18] Been rhyming on the mic since the age of eight

[00:00:21] The fans and the people tell me that I'm great

[00:00:24] Y'all can hate but they relate

[00:00:27] Trying to get all of you walking

[00:00:28] Through them pearly gates

[00:00:30] I been to city's all around the globe Nicaragua

[00:00:34] Australia down to Tokyo

[00:00:36] Lima Peru and London back to San Tropez

[00:00:39] When I'm in Paris France pale vu France

[00:00:42] Seen me on TV and on big screens

[00:00:45] Now I'm crushing MC's like they jelly beans

[00:00:48] Now get both of them hands in tha air

[00:00:51] And wave 'em all around like

[00:00:52] In around like B-Boys in flair

[00:00:54] We bringing the noise and a raising our voice

[00:00:57] Plus I keep it old school like the Beastie Boys

[00:01:00] 12 years ago a friend of mine

[00:01:03] Asked me to spit these MC rhymes

[00:01:05] So I said this rhyme I'm about to say

[00:01:08] The beat was dope and it went this way

[00:01:12] I had to take this rhyme back to the 80's

[00:01:14] When rap was 'bout skills DJ's and the ladies

[00:01:17] Didn't rhyme about sex and degrading themselves

[00:01:20] And rappers didn't glorify busting 'em shells

[00:01:24] This is a hip-hop blast from the past

[00:01:26] Stop all the violence put away all the straps

[00:01:29] Better enjoy the music 'cuz it's not gonna last

[00:01:32] If we keep on glorifying all the killing and gats

[00:01:35] The milies and Mac's the chronic and hash

[00:01:38] And the cats slanging Perico on the corner for cash

[00:01:41] We gotta try to make a change for the better

[00:01:44] And stop selling out for the fame and the cheddar

[00:01:47] Put down Berretta quit throwing up letters

[00:01:50] I'm trying to make a

[00:01:51] Difference it ain't getting no better

[00:01:53] That's why I came to represent for all of my people

[00:01:56] Wit conscious rap Chico 'cuz it's almost illegal

[00:01:59] 12 years ago a friend of mine

[00:02:04] So I said this rhyme I'm about to say

[00:02:08] The beat was dope

[00:02:09] And it went this way

[00:02:11] Peace love and respect to Run DMC

[00:02:14] LL Cool J and the treacherous three

[00:02:17] Kool G Rap and Kool Mo Dee

[00:02:19] Marley Marl Kool Herc and Kid Capri

[00:02:22] I was blessed to make records wit KRS

[00:02:25] Now I'm hustling hard trying to
