The Lox - Let's Start Rap Over lyrics

Your rating:

(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
