Andrew Huang Funk Rags song lyrics

oh, you started up somewhere

you gotta remember

yo, i miss when cats used to rap sorta cheesy

didn't stress out, we could all take it easy

didn't shoot glocks, no beefs with tupac

just struttin' down the street with a crew and a boom box

and played it, breakin' in the afternoon sun

created fresh sounds out of records that they spullll

and a new movement was begun

no need to get faded, we just do it for the fun,

now the style's updated

been shaping it a ton while i tape it

and now i feel i might have really made it

but you know it's never done

an emcee's work is lifelong

speaking from the heart, making art through tight songs

peace to the peeps who get it twisted - python

look, i just do it for the love!

come on

oh, you started up somewhere

you gotta remember

aww, here's a little story about a little boy

never very quiet, he was always making noise

tapping on the piano, and playing with his voice

didn't have drums so he'd be banging on his toys

rhythmic and jittery like all of the time

just 3 years old and he started to rhyme

learned new words and added them to his verse

poor mom and dad never stopped him when he'd rehearse

long car rides sitting in the backseat

getting these rhymes worked out like an athlete

and at the start, well they didn't sound that sweet

but pre-school freestyles? that's a mad feat

and it continued, he kept on practicing

rhymed through his whole vocab and back again

everyone kinda thought this kid was strange

well it was obviously me and not too much has changed

oh, you started up somewhere

you gotta remember
