《Way Back》歌词

[00:00:00] Way Back - Tanya Stephens (坦娅·斯蒂文斯)

[00:00:08] Ladies and gentlemen

[00:00:09] I want to invite you on a journey

[00:00:11] I sincerely hope you are in a mood to travel right now

[00:00:14] 'Cause we're going back in time

[00:00:18] Are you ready

[00:00:22] I wanna take you way back

[00:00:25] To when a girl on a mikes worth

[00:00:27] Wasnt determined by the length of her skirt

[00:00:29] I mean way back to creativity before MTV

[00:00:34] Before BET

[00:00:35] I mean way back before recycling sh*t

[00:00:38] When the props that you got was for your writing and sh*t

[00:00:41] Lets rewind before the hype when you used to be low key

[00:00:44] To be a singer you had to actually know key

[00:00:47] I mean way back to before people made a job

[00:00:50] Of seeing whos best at impersonating Bob

[00:00:53] I mean way back to when you sweat blood on every line

[00:00:56] To get one good song didnt cost sixteen ninety nine

[00:00:58] To be considered deep you had to actually say stuff

[00:01:02] And if it wasnt good

[00:01:03] Disc jockeys didnt play stuff

[00:01:04] I mean way way

[00:01:06] Marvin Gaye way back and I pray that you will

[00:01:11] Come with me

[00:01:14] Let us journey past this melody

[00:01:21] Give us room to exercise our minds

[00:01:28] Take me to another place

[00:01:29] Another time

[00:01:30] Better hooks

[00:01:31] Better rhymes

[00:01:31] Stronger lyrics every line

[00:01:33] You could even press rewind

[00:01:35] Come with me let us journey past this fallacy

[00:01:44] Give us room to exercise our minds

[00:01:51] Take you to another place

[00:01:53] Another time

[00:01:53] Better hooks

[00:01:54] Better rhymes

[00:01:55] Stronger lyrics every line

[00:01:56] You could even press rewind

[00:01:58] Well its ironic that the chronic that I smoke

[00:02:01] Got me singing sh*t thats bionic every note

[00:02:03] That its affecting my judgment is what some people would hope

[00:02:07] But I'm not tripping

[00:02:07] I'm on a journey

[00:02:08] Come along now lets float

[00:02:09] I used to be excited going to the record store

[00:02:13] But these days I stay pacing the floor

[00:02:15] Somebody please take me back to when the artistes were poor

[00:02:18] 'Cause when they made less they gave us so much more

[00:02:21] Lets take it back to a ballroom

[00:02:24] Cloudy microphone

[00:02:25] Smokey Robinson

[00:02:26] Nina Simone

[00:02:27] James Brown was still occupying the throne

[00:02:30] When the songs werent sold off videos alone

[00:02:33] Way back to when a star attitude wasnt defined

[00:02:38] By somebody being rude

[00:02:39] To when it was a pleasure definitely not a task

[00:02:42] To greet a fan with a smile and sign a damn autograph

[00:02:45] I mean way back to before you used to drive the Maybach

[00:02:49] You dreamt about a mil but never made that

[00:02:52] When you made some sh*t that we could play back

[00:02:56] I mean way back to a whole nother time

[00:03:00] Further back than your granddads hairline

[00:03:03] I mean way back

[00:03:06] Won't you say that you will

[00:03:09] Come with me

[00:03:13] Let us journey past this melody

[00:03:19] Give us room to exercise our minds

[00:03:26] Take me to another place

[00:03:27] Another time

[00:03:28] Better hooks

[00:03:29] Better rhymes

[00:03:29] Stronger lyrics every line

[00:03:31] You could even press rewind

[00:03:33] Come with me

[00:03:36] Let us journey past this fallacy

[00:03:42] Give us room to exercise our minds

[00:03:50] Take you to another place

[00:03:51] Another time better hooks

[00:03:52] Better rhymes

[00:03:53] Stronger lyrics every line

[00:03:54] You could even press rewind

[00:03:57] And it came to pass in the glorious days of charts

[00:04:00] That the music hailed and we danced to it

[00:04:04] And threw a party but in our hearts we knew the musicians failed

[00:04:08] And then came along brothers

[00:04:10] Napster and Aimster

[00:04:11] And though they were definitely wrong I think it's worse

[00:04:14] To be forced to buy a whole b******t album

[00:04:16] Just to get that one good song

[00:04:18] Can I get an Amen

[00:04:19] Come with me

[00:04:23] Let us journey past this melody

[00:04:29] Give us room to exercise our minds

[00:04:36] Take it to another place

[00:04:38] Another time

[00:04:39] Better hooks

[00:04:39] Better rhymes

[00:04:40] Stronger lyrics every line

[00:04:42] You could even press rewind

[00:04:44] Come with me

[00:04:47] Let us journey past this fallacy

[00:04:53] Give us room to exercise our minds

[00:05:00] Take it to another place

[00:05:02] Another time

[00:05:02] Better hooks

[00:05:03] Better rhymes

[00:05:04] Stronger lyrics every line

[00:05:06] You could even press rewind

[00:05:08] Come with me
