Flux Capacitor

You wanna bring it back to crack babies
Bag ladies sucking dick for pipes
Niggas throwing shopping carts off the roof to show their stripes
Grace by a stay quiet
Freaks come out at night
Let's bring it back boy, bring it back!

In '89 before the Fresh Prince got to Bel-Air
Eighty-nine percent of the niggas in my hood was on welfare
So trade your debit card for foodstamps
Say hell yeah!
We'll bring it back, sucker, we'll bring it back!

It wasn't just graffiti on the train
Believe me, dawg, I'm saying
I'll take you to the wall they did
The night Yusef Hawkins was slain
You wanna keep that dookie rope?
You better tuck your chain
Bring it back, son, bring it back!

Now if I put my foot next to yours
And say, "Yo, what size are those?"
You got a long walk home
I hope your socks don't got holes
That boombox you're holding, duke?
Don't think it won't get stolen
Bring it back, bitches, bring it back!

Look ma, no shoelaces, I just got out of jail
New kids on the block look up to me
So this is fresh as hell
You wanna be this [buy??]
He'll take whatever I got for sale
Bring it back, nigga, bring it back!

You see a flat top and think
House Party, Kid N Play
But there's a lot about an era that a movie didn't say
You want Do the Right Thing and Lean On Me every day?
Let's bring it back, let's bring it back!

Hey yo: Reganomics, AIDS epidemic, crime and poverty
Random children sleeping in abandoned buildings follow me
You're dressing up like it's Halloween, so obviously
You want it back, kid, you want it back!

Now just because you got it all good
And they gentrified the hood
You don't know what it means to hear a nigga say
"I wish you would!"
They let you live for now
But believe me, if they could
They take it back, homey, they take it back

Hey yo: for you it's just a fashion
For us, the [birth?] the passion
Originality and now I see you're trying to cash in
Expression of oppression and you're biting like that see
Give it back, fucker, give it back!

Now when they look back on your legacy
Will they see integrity?
Or pseudo-celebrities who went and copied everything?
Cause we came up with shit that nobody had ever seen
Let's bring it back, let's bring it back!

I ain't meaning to insult ya
Just speaking for my culture
Don't want to see you ruined by the leeches and the vultures
If you want to see it grow, then plant some seeds of your own
Just give it back, fucker, give it back!

F-R-E-S-H
Fresh, fresh, fresh, yo that's fresh!

Do ya want it? (Yeah!)
Do ya like it? (Yeah!)
If you can have it, would ya bite it? (Hell yeah!)
It ain't yours!
