DJ Tidesoft - Take It Back (Reminiscin') (feat. Jo$e Wop)

Huh, yeah-yeah, we reminiscin'
Yeah-yeah
I don't rap fast but I rap technical, yeah-yeah
We reminiscin'
True story
He in the kitchen (DJ Tidesoft!)
Yeah-yeah
We going back to 2018
Skinny black boy, very nerdy not yet eighteen
Said bye to his mom and dad kinda sad and aching
From the tote he had to hold for a video
Face from day one was on the school page
Here we go
Back at it again
Gotta pretend he's coolio
When he really knows
That he's only shown for show
Just for the machine
But fasho he ain't gon say nun cuz he's only seventeen
It ain't like he seen
Nothing to justify that feeling
Of being unseen
Until the next day at 9:15
Walks up on the upper quad and sees a White Sea
He's a pepper flake in a milkshake be
Confident
Use your common sense
If you end up talking bout it
Opportunity, you're squashing it
The white folks who come here
Virtually got all of it
So the best route to get out
Is make sure that your pockets get swole, whoa, hey, yeah-yeah
Let me take it back, yeah let me take it back, we reminiscin'
(Take it back one more time for me, DJ) It's been a while since a
DJ on the track, yeah, DJ on the track, he in the kitchen (yessir!)
Like I said, hold on
Lemme get it back, yeah, lemme get it back, we reminiscin'
About the struggle, and how you had to hustle
It's only funny when your Black, water bottle no cap
Ayy, we can take it back (back) to 2017
I was only seventeen ripped black skinny jeans
And a fresh white tee
I wasn't worried bout a thing
But rolling some green
Like Dr. King I had a dream
It's like the world, the vibe, the stars align whenever you visit me
I'd like to buy you gold invisalign and fix your teeth
I'd like to put you in a dorm we're past the GED
You put your faith inside us now you're on TV
Now where my granny at?
I've been deep
Inside my bag just like a poodle in a in a Fanny pack
Imagine that
Super silly is the way my verse attack
The beat, man you niggas ain't ever having that
Lines that'll hit you right up in your cardiac
Arrest me please or how
Why these white folks they testing me
T-testing me, test-testing me
Testing me
Yeah, I don't mind reminiscing
We take it back to first day, keeping the tradition
Of wearing black green and gold
The mission?
To show how deep your home goes
You might not sound like them
But your blood shows the reggae in it
From head to toe you know the role to play in it
You gotta show the woke they made a great picking
The white picket fence is just on the horizon
You move at top-speed like Verizon
So imagine my surprise when I glide in
And everybody's eyeing my styling
My Black skin was blinding them
It's like my success was unexpected
Why then would you slide me by besides seeing my shine
My guiding light went silent it seemed
Borderline nightmare, worse than I coulda dreamed
It seemed that I might be the odd one out
But it's too late to say wait
The clock's run out
I got a good plate in my face
To stop is out
Of the equation
Evasion is out of stock
I gotta go out and show out
Do whatever for clout
And after I succeed
Shove it right in their mouth
To take my Black back
Woo!
Let me take it back, yeah let me take it back, we reminiscin'
DJ on the track, yeah, DJ on the track, he in the kitchen
Lemme get it back, yeah, lemme get it back, we reminiscin'
About the struggle, and how you had to hustle
It's only funny when your Black, water bottle no cap
