	Lyrics Last Tapes First CDs Words and Music by Skylar Johnson Verse 01: Skip stones and ripple the water Make waves and rock what you wanna Some were on a marijuana wannabe drama But all I wanted was paragraphs of perfectly placed commas Lyricists with lyrical wit Writers that inspired inspirational spit Certain artists that started my art of devotion Words waving in an ocean of emotion I wish I knew then that the era was golden Shift in reverse start in slow motion Provoke the karaoke of those spoken promotions I’m hopin’ the folk of golden emcees The ones of last tapes and first cds Will last till the first worst cycle will cease And reverse back to what I want it to be Hip hop as a culture life not a vulture Chorus: Listen to them the wisdom is in (The last tapes and first cd Listen to them the vision is in The last tapes and first cds Listen to them the lessons are in The last tapes and first cds Listen to them then listen to me They’re the reason I became an emcee Verse 02: Music amused me but never used me Let loose a movement like a movie it moved me It revolutions of revelations In resolutions of elevations They took empty pages and emptied pens on them Filled lines with life life was lines to them I was right to bend mold shape and fold Each page of life to fit my own To fit my mold To fit my soul To fix my hold To teach his clone is to each his own I gotta speak a poem to speak upon it Some seek a solvent to solve a problem I seek a song to involve em Let me tell me if I was wrong when or strong then I’m off in the distance Let the head phones ring persistant Let the tape roll consistant Verse 03: Listen to them cuz their wisdom is in words Listen to them cuz their vision was not blurred Listen to them cuz the lessons were not learned Listen I’ve heard you think my word is obsurd But observe my two cents that’s all that it’s worth Sell it to your soul Tell it how you know Lose sleep so you don’t sleep on the loose leaf Of emcees who started this shit I’m a part of it You’re a part of it The art of it is each element Remember when that was relevant Go back and rewind that tape Blow the dust off that old CD case Classic don’t mean forgot lost in a basket Have it on deck so you can swing for a practice And sing with the past kid Before you’re the pass passing Fuck that it could happen
