The LOX

The LOX - Let's Start Rap Over lyrics

(Puff talking)

See, I want to get back to the love

Let's start love over, come on

Chorus (Carl Thomas)

Let's start love over

Back to the way things were

Forget about them

Cause all we got is us

We can make it

Sad if we try

I want to start love over

Let's make it do or die

(Stylez)

When I was nine years old

I realized there was a road

At the end I would win lots of pots of gold

Days, when I used to have my play clothes on

I would make up my rhymes the middle of Voltron

But you've learned what the herbs do

Breaking curfew

Hit the park when it's dark, make it stand like a podium

Niggas had a box and a strip of linoleum

Some break a boogie but those that don't

Was usually a fighter

Rollin' easy riders

Sending people to the store for a soda and a lighter

A real cool cat that would let you keep a dollar

But now things change and it's the days of tomorrow

Little kids is big now

They'll push your wig now

Can't send them to the store

But you can send them for roll

And put them on my vine

And give them one big push for all mankind

Chorus

(Jadakiss)

People still taking rapping for a joke

A passing hope

Or a phrase with a rope

What ever happened to the caddies, white walls, and spokes?

Crates of records, turntables, plenty of folks

Remember playing in the streets, touch football

Look y'all

Somebody get mad and bounce with they football

Twenty four hour block parties

Everybody on the block pissing you a dark hardy

Adults used to think I was scheming

But I was dreaming to one day make a hot album and have 'em all fiendin'

Now everytime that I rhyme I can tell that you like it

Be nursing the tunes like the mind of a psychic

Your mind is weary, floating like a dove

Sweating and things, like you were making love

Control the crowd so they can accept it

Total concentration is the perfect method

Bridge (looped while Puff talks)

Where's the love?

Somebody tell me

Where's the love?

Because we want to know

(Puff talking)

I remember everybody I loved, everybody

It wasn't always player hating

There wasn't jealousy and all this envy

It was the love

(Sheek)

Ayo hip hop

Set out in the park

What?

We used to do it out in the dark

All night long till the cops made us go

Or till somebody's moms pulled the extension cord from the window

Lees on, thinking you fresh

Trying to impress

Shorty with the baby hair pushed down on her forehead

Ponytail swaying, she hot

Standing like she bull legged, but she not

You remember the days?

That's when crack was affecting blacks like that

Just drink some Valentine Ale, little reefer

Friday night, go check out Star Child at the theater

That's all corrupt

Over rap you might get bust

Say the wrong thing

End up in a permanent sling

Went from shelltops to hollowtops

Used to rock the bus stop

Now we electric slide from the cops

Want some veterans in this

That ain't keeping it real

Now with God we chill over a record deal

Always the good ones to go

Never your enemies die

Till this day I wonder why they took my man B.I.

No time to yell rhymes in the microphone

Take this more serious than just a poem

Rock party to party

While you're out the door

But tear it up yo, let's start love over

Chorus

Bridge x2
