1990's

They want me to take it back to the 1990's
Back to the grunge and the grimy
Where shiny gold chains were inviting
And jean size fit both sides of the siamese
Twins in we're back in the nineties
Back to a time that's divided
By Batman, Mad Max and Macgyver

But remind us, why would I wanna go
Back to a time that was violent?
A time the hood rats be snatching
Your hat if they like it
Virus of pirates, ain't related to Napster
Vanilla Ice's and "Ice Ice Baby"
Was the rap song?
2Pac and Biggie were busy with beefin'
Little Kim had her g-sting
Cheech and Chong weed thing
Street were covered in Cross Colours scheme
Coloured jeans brighter than the
Beatles and their submarine (Yellow, yellow)
No, Coldplay were a little later
Axl Rose had hair
Blood redder than the saber
Of Darth Vader's character, rave dance
Parachute
Pants, was Furn gully way before Avatar
Batter up? 'Cause White Sox
With the fitted caps
Janet Jackson's "Got 'til It's Gone"
Was a 'Dilla track
Back Street Boyz, you feeling that?
Men in Black track
Really? You feeling the way
That Willy rapped?
"Boom Boom Boom Shake the room"
Was that then, or when went and spent a
Tenner on the mushrooms?
Experimenting mentally
Friends chasing the dragon
But like Diana with a
Flash accidents would happen
Back when Jennifer Anniston was glamorous
Even fuckin' having her own hairstyle
(Jennifer cut please) See
If I can turn back time i wouldn't
And I ain't talkin' 'bout the Cher song
See, I don't want to go back to the 1990's
Back to the grunge and the grimy
Where shiny gold chains were inviting
And jean size fit both sides of the siamese
Twins in we're back in the nineties
Back to a time that's divided
By Batman, Mad Max and Macgyver

They want me to take it back, back, back
But I don't want to go
I don't want to go back
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go
I don't wanna go
They want me to take it back, back, back
But I don't want to go
No, I don't want to go back

Yo Draphto, I'm feelin you, man
Though I gotta say most of
My favourite friends, bands, times, concerts
Where in the nineties, bro
Jeans cut with the 90's flare
Remember that shit? First love
I mean it'd be cool
For a week, but that was then and
It always should be so I'm like, umm

Why would I wanna go back a second
Whenever I'm looking back I end
Up just second guessing
Questioning my weapons of choice
That be my voice my mind, my soul
The time I spent in the void
And breaking out of it, look
Don't doubt it kid
Rockin' a stage back in the
Days with 1200 Techniques, yeah
I'm proud of it
Lessons are blessings we learnt through
So let the past be the past
Even if it burns you
In the present there's no time to resent
Or wish that my parents never split
Back when I was a kid
Shit, we all need kinship
To be the king it's a
Heavy heavy crown to lose, plus
In the nineties I came up in Swan View
No matter which way you looked
It was the wrong view
Kids sniffing glue sticks
Swinging their two fists
Not giving two shit's about who's hit
Sad but true, it's the way that it was
But all of that taught me about
Life's effect and the cause
So now in gripping my black
Balls on the attack for
Any given moment moving forward
Never backwards
'Cause life is but a moment
And I'm living in the moment
And at the moment I'm on track
Like "Where the flow went?"
N'fa Jones and Drapht & Ta-ku beside me
Beyond the nineties but they want
Me to take it back

Back, back, but I don't wanna go
I don't wanna go back
I don't want to go, I don't want to go
They want me to take it back, back, back
But I don't wanna go
No, I don't wanna go back
I don't want to, want to go back
