Luyện nghe bài hát Then Till Now

See it was Hip Hop that dam near my life
From ozone in L.A in 85'
my attempts to try and step on stage and rhyme
To my beyond state of mind
From a copy of a culture, ta a tradition
From buguloo, to the beat that keeps my rhythm
From, wonderin' the tracks, ta the mic in my hand
From, to be black, to lovin who I am
From not where your from, to the image of Sydney
From no one knowin' hip-hop, to kids thinkin' 50
From the on film, to the dramas of life
From posh clothes, to not they were half of the price
And thinking to be king, you gotta have wealth
Ta the revolution i call knowledge itself
So from back "then now" I still rap for the pleasure
Bein' or poor man, I'm still happy as ever

You gotta me
(You understand me)
I gotta you
(I gotta you
so we can stand recognize the vision,
its one love, one life, aside our differences
You gotta me
(You understand me)
I got to you,
cause that's what me by, in my life

From a part of the Bronx, to the of the burbs
a dyslexic, to a artist of words
From a wild child, to my parents steady me
From my parking cue, to givin' me heave "D"
From mimicking thugs, thinking the with dope
To getting no cause it was mirrors of smoke
a home of hip-hop, to a land owned by rock
From rhyming to my mirror, to blowin' the spot
But all of the cheers, and the boo and the beers
Was just a kid on the bus, headphones to his hears
Who just grew through the years, to sewer the
The blood and sweat somethin' with his crew and his peers
See it was hip-hop that put lost souls on a map
showin us the country, to puttin clothes on our back
And finding myself, in my mic's reflection
To this musical marriage that gave my life

You understand me
(You understand me)
I gotta you
(I understand you
so we can together recognize the vision
Its one love, one life, aside our differences
You gotta me
(You gotta me)
I got to you,
Cause that's what me by, in my life

From a major label deal, to on the street
souls were for sale, when I'm fuckin' with these beats
The landlord of these lyrics, with a touch of can be
And if it doesn't ground, You trust it wasn't me
The deepest of minds, can't frame what I've
Three eyes on the train, writin' on a napkin
See kids don't have bentley's, they sit and take the bus
But if ya playin' this tape, ya situation's
From backstage to a passion of a debut
From not a path, to push past and a way through
From this release, to stress I've got off my chest
From a dream, to holding the hart of the press
From shoe store days, to writing at night
To a culture ultimately taught me lessons in life
So back "then till now" I still rap for the pleasure
Bein' rich or poor man I'm still happy as

And we won't until we get that feeling
why we get on up that's why we got on up
Oh we won't stop until we get feeling
That's why we get on up (Hang on, on, hang on)

You understand me
(You gotta me)
I gotta you
(I understand you
So we can stand together recognize the
Its one love, one life, aside our differences
You gotta me
(You gotta me)
I got to you
that's what gets me by, in my life
