Intro
Sometimes in life
You gotta learn to do it yourself
to make sure
You maintain your vision
And get it done right
Verse ~ 1
It’s Retro like
Jordan back in Chicago
Punk rock / techno
Scarface / Al Pacino
Bruce Lee / Bolo
Hawaii / 5-0
Star Wars / Han Solo
Cobra / G.I. Joe
New York City’s / Alpo
Sesame Street / Elmo
Camera mode / in slowmo
No mas / means no mo
It’s a storm out there / don’t go
Moving up / like the Jefferson Show
The Urban / Grio
Y’all don’t know / what I know
I made it now / told y’all so
Came up / as a bottom kid
West Philly / look what he did
No crimes / no bid
No time / to spend in there
But cousins did / serving years
Grandmom’s there / dropping tears

Spill the whine / drink the beers
Cooley High / ask why
Why God / why he die
Run the streets like / Superfly
Sky high, sky high
Let em know / it’s Retro...
Verse ~ 2
Yeah, cuz / It’s Retro
Like DC / on the Metro
Hey, Shawdy / Yo, Joe
Chicken wings / with Mumbo
Back to Howard University flow
House music / go go
Ron DeBerry / And Selmo
Parties jumping / like Jello
Booking hotties / like hello
Back in Philly / its 3 feet of snow
Be careful / in Baltimo
Let go / of my eggo
Batman / Leggo
Drug addiction / just say no
Das Efx / Jack that flow
No dough / no show
No pain / no gain
Take it all / like Novacaine
Find a beat / and make sure it bang
Shaolin / WuTang
Street gangs / Uptown Slang
No bus / take the train
High speed / left lane
Stay the same / never change
Kill Bill / Bang Bang
Clint Eastwood’s / steady aim
High Noon / Let em hang
And let em know / it’s Retro...
Verse ~ 3

Yeah, man, it’s Retro
Beat bang from the get go
Feel it all in your ghet-to
Stop the music / hell no
What the hell / you come in here fo
It’s Murder / on the dance flo
Horror movies / like Cujo
Sharon Stone / in Casino
Basic Instinct / was crazy though
Goodfellas / With De Niro
Yankovic / is a weirdo
I didn’t say it / he said so
Ask somebody / who may know
Back in Philly / at Gino’s
Playing football / on Reno
38th Street / is 9 and 0
Bottom Boah / now watch em Blow
My ambition / ain’t for show
People play / but I’m serious though
Soul Asylum / Studios
In the ATL / with Rafael
In the booth / to lay it down
Rafael built / the monitors now
Master technician / how this sound
Pitch it to the people / in every town
A fast ball / from the mound
And let know / it’s Retro
Let em know / it’s Retro
Let em know / it’s Retro
I let em know...
It’s Retro...
