Turn The Record Back

Intro

Yeah

Uh-huh

One two

Verse 1

Corner store receipts pile up in my coat

Mama said the rent due Friday

I been scribbling on loose-leaf all week

Trading sleep for a little bit of rhyme play

Cousin on the block got a turntable

Let me cut the break until the needle skip

That dusty horn loop hit me like a sermon

I ain't never gonna let this feeling slip

Chorus

Turn the record back

Turn the record back

Let the drummer get wicked one more time

Turn the record back

Turn the record back

Scratch it till the sunrise hits the blinds

Verse 2

Bus token subway token both the same

Either way I'm headed where the speakers bang

Somebody's boom box leaking through the stairwell

Bass rattling the pipes like a church bell

I write what I live cause the truth don't rent

Every line a little rent receipt

If the beat don't knock then it don't get sent

So I loop it loop it loop it till it speaks

Chorus

Turn the record back

Turn the record back

Let the drummer get wicked one more time

Turn the record back

Turn the record back

Scratch it till the sunrise hits the blinds

Bridge

Old vinyl got a story in the hiss

Crackle pop and it lands like a kiss

I ain't rich but my crates got weight

Thirty years of a sound I create

Chorus

Turn the record back

Turn the record back

Let the drummer get wicked one more time

Turn the record back

Turn the record back

Scratch it till the sunrise hits the blinds

Outro

Uh

Yeah

Turn it back

Turn it back
