Bringing Me Back Video (MV)

I flew down to the islands feeling tired uninspired
I returned rejuvenated I reignited my fire
Seen so many of my peers retire over the years
Giving up on the mic and the tables choosing careers
It's a shame, the illest DJ's, flyest rhyme sayers
Like the street ball niggas, they really the nicest players
Some tried and failed maybe they hunger for nothing
I guess that road to success is always under construction
That's why I'm out taking the back route
Blazing this shit, alotta niggas faded quicker than laser disc did
I transcended with the times like chicks with big bubbles
Baggy jeans and Timberlands, rap and Black struggle
Some shit never changes, but most of it does
I grew apart from good friends grew close to a distant cuz
All in the safe breath I broke hearts, found love
You don't believe karma comes back around well it does
And every time I try to walk away and give up rappin
Something will happen that'll keep Bringing Me Back
Just when I think I lost my desire
Something will spark my fire and keeps Bringing Me Back
Cats say, Side we need that boom bap cause the radio is wack
They keep Bringing Me Back
And that's how I know the love is real with emotion you can feel
It keeps Bringing Me Back
How come rappers ain't as lyrical
I make progressive Black music they make old negro spirituals
Slave hymns, soulful like Smokey and The Miracles
Black on Black crime theme music all on your stereo
I'm sick of it, I know you is too, don't front
Your little kids singing them gangsta rap lyrics ain't what you want
I think we need some more balance
Some West Coast All Stars
We all in the same gang singing stop the violence
Niggas used to be saying some shit
Now niggas don't be saying shit
And the radio be playing that shit
Over and over and over, f*ck it, one more time
Hell, let's take it from the top nigga pop that nine
I know I sound like a hater, I'm just frustrated ventin
When Hip Hop was created was this really its intention
It used to be original, fun and innocent
Now they f*cked it, it's corrupted, watered down and ignorant
And every time I try to walk away and give up rappin
Something will happen that'll keep Bringing Me Back
Just when I think I lost my desire
Something will spark my fire and keeps Bringing Me Back
Cats say, Side we need that boom bap cause the radio is wack
They keep Bringing Me Back
And that's how I know the love is real with emotion you can feel
It keeps Bringing Me Back
I used to go to all the shows, front rows with my hands up
Now there's only five cats in Philly I'm really a fan of
I weeded out the garbage from the backpack nerd rap
To your neighborhoods hardest hug the block artist
And none of it's live shit
I'm not impressed with you or your bumbling sidekick
You should listen to Side's shit
Cause I put out heaters
My beats got knock, no doubt, I'm no slouch in the rhyme department either
I got on without trying, no Hip Hop alliance
And I be writing Bunsen Burners, nigga I drop science
Like Craig and Marley I was told I'm old school like Atari
That's all I know lil homie I'm sorry
I'm juiced in, I'm a stand up guy, honor and loyalty
Tryna get this game sewn up like some embroidery
Promoters be employing me, no question I'm nice
They be enjoying me, but pay up cause perfection has its price
And every time I try to walk away and give up rappin
Something will happen that'll keep Bringing Me Back
Just when I think I lost my desire
Something will spark my fire and keeps Bringing Me Back
Cats say, Side we need that boom bap cause the radio is wack
They keep Bringing Me Back
And that's how I know the love is real with emotion you can feel
It keeps Bringing Me Back
