letra de back to the street - phrase

[verse 1]
back to the streets, take a trip down memory lane
tryna retrace the steps i placed in this game
this is it, my final taste, it’ll never be the same
so i’m heading to the city, breaking heavy on a train
nautica jacket, cap [?] look in my eye
sixteen, all drugged up, ready to die
with my marker loaded to the felt, i’mma keep repping well
putting tags everywhere, “phrase”, what the letters spell
h-ll, every youngster just wanna be known
i knew a kid who knew a king, took me to the throne
so he took me up to izzet street, that’s where the wizards meet
obese records, the home of the visionaries

[chorus]
waiting for the sun in search of a brighter day
i put my faith in the scene, gave my life away
and in return, this the thanks i get
it ain’t your insults that hurt, it’s the lack of respect, yeah
waiting for the sun in search of a brighter day
i put my faith in the scene, gave my life away
and in return, this the thanks i get
it ain’t your insults that hurt, it’s the lack of respect

[verse 2]
i took a deep breath and walked in the shop
felt my body shut down and my heart just drop
and i stood there silent, not saying a thing
captivated by the palace and the ways of a king
looking back now, i must’ve seemed so young
and [?] bias-b and [?]
standing in the presence of some legends i gotta mention
honestly, the impact they had was astronomical
with their blessings, i would tackle any obstacle
a battle came around, and i’m fiending a fight
revolver come one, soon become a meaning of life
and i was nervous so i sk!ll-checked to check if i’m tight
[?] listened to and said i’m ready to go
so with that, i take the stage and start ripping a flow
but i f-cked up, choked, couldn’t finish the verse
the crowd murdered my spirit, and the stairs were a he-rs-
on the way down, bias-b dropped me some knowledge
told me hip-hop was a school, and the scene was a college
don’t stress it, next year and to come back around
i could study up and take another test for the crown
[chorus]
waiting for the sun in search of a brighter day
i put my faith in the scene, gave my life away
and in return, this the thanks i get
it ain’t your insults that hurt, it’s the lack of respect, yeah
waiting for the sun in search of a brighter day
i put my faith in the scene, gave my life away
and in return, this the thanks i get
it ain’t your insults that hurt, it’s the lack of respect

[verse 3]
(back to the street)
revolver come to, sixty-odd emcees
and i made the top twelve in that six-month spree
got my first spotting out for fame
a little, but all the same
i finally felt i was climbing a latter
and my contribution to the scene finally matters
so i signed a dotted line, bang, all of it shatters
in a matter of minutes, people start breaking me down
saying i’m major label trash, and ain’t backing me now
what? it’s back to giving mixtapes for free?
nah, f-ck it, this ain’t a diss track, it’s just history
you say you’re sick of the scene, well i’m sick of it too
but blame yourself, not me, ‘cos i’m a product of you
[chorus]
waiting for the sun in search of a brighter day
i put my faith in the scene, gave my life away
and in return, this the thanks i get
it ain’t your insults that hurt, it’s the lack of respect, yeah
waiting for the sun in search of a brighter day
i put my faith in the scene, gave my life away
and in return, this the thanks i get
it ain’t your insults that hurt, it’s the lack of respect

[outro]
big shouts to the pioneers
you know who you are
(back to the street)
