ninteen seventy something

i was raised to the sound of the 70's

earth

wind and fire

sounded so heavenly

ohio players and curtis mayfield

aretha franklin's picture on a playbill

al green in a tight suit

all white

minnie riperton high notes

all night

mom's even had a box full of 45's

put the needle down

yea that sounds sorta live

sound like the kind of groove i could rap over

got drunk off the beat then i was back sober

bring that part back

yea i'mma murder that

donny hat on the track with roberta flack

hide records

in the bag

sneak them out before she notice that they gone

gotta think

i don't know

should i rap of my mom's favorite song?

better hope i don't scratch it

or that's it

i'mma get my ass kicked

that's a classic

can't explain that i was just borrowing it

moms on a rampage lookin' for her parliament

and donny hathaway feelin like a cast'away

hiding in grandmom's room more than half the day

if i told her that her parliament at brian crib

and nobody home now

i'mma be a crying kid

but it's seeming like i'm safe for the time being

my uncle gettin all the blame far as i'm seeing

i just gotta lay low like a snake belly

it's a sticky situation like grape jelly

i'm on the titanic

or some other boat

got my mother and her brother at each others throat

you better hope mommy never find out

cause if she does then that's your ass

you know damn well if you touch one

and you get caught that'll be your ass

ninteen-seventy something

and the year is. ninteen-seventy something

the final act

brian's at the door

with a black and red nap sack

came to bring the vinyl back

i put it back before anybody notices

he said close call" i said "yea i know this is"
