Cassette tapes, rewind with a pencil
Freestyle ciphers, rhymes were essential
Baggy jeans, fresh kicks, boombox on the shoulder
Them days made me, now I'm older and bolder
Take me back to the golden era
When the beats hit hard and the words were clearer
Take me back, turn the volume up
Golden era, we could never get enough
Summer block party, DJ on the ones and twos
Everybody moving, nothing left to lose
We ain't have much, but we had the sound
Golden era, forever holding it down
Take me back to the golden era
When the beats hit hard and the words were clearer
Take me back, turn the volume up
Golden era, we could never get enough
