Testo Throwbacks - Illy

Throwbacks

Yeah yeah
Walk with me
Trip down memory lane
We brought it back
Timestamp, sepia shade but all fact
Rode all over the map, goin' off scraps
They never saw an opening act doper than that
Way back it was all out of reach, still took the leap
Failure no option
Second, first defeat
I dreamed bout getting where the squad got now
Practiced my ARIA speech while I dropped off pounds
We thought we knew it all we'd hit a tour
Hostels all we could afford, still had a ball
Not one to fit in, gave a fuck about a popular trend
Too busy getting off my head with my friends
The realest shit I heard was that it goes fast
And it went fast
Feels like when I blinked it passed
But come whatever I still hold a soft spot back
For an Aussie accent, kickin' backpack rap that

Throwback
Get me in my zone
Play them old school records
They gon' take me home
Give me that
Throwback
Something we all know
Play them old school records
One more for the road

Yeah yeah
I got hip hop taste buds
I loved that boom bap shit from day one
I don't need no drug to get my brain numb
I get my highs off a snare and a bass drum
The waits done, they can hate
But the stage love him
Went from borrowing mum's car
To topping the charts like it ain't nothin'
I wonder why we ever moved on
From the golden age of hard roads, festival songs
And though it seems better with rose tints
We know this
The glitz and glamour of show biz got old quick
Try as I might I can't tell if it's just nostalgia
Or if shit hit different
But as long as we here
We gonna keep on lifting
Cause the world keeps spinning so we spin with it
With my finger on the pulse keep me on my toes
But when is late and we lit and it's time to go we want

Throwback
Get me in my zone
Play them old school records
They gon' take me home
Give me that
Throwback
Something we all know
Play them old school records
One more for the road
Let's go now

Throwback
Get me in my zone
Play them old school records
They gon' take me home
Give me that
Throwback
Something we all know
Play them old school records
One more for the road
Let's go now
Throwback
Play them old school records
They gon' take me home
Throwback
Play them old school records
One more for the road
