lyrics

I gotta tell you something that’s hard to conceive
I come from the future where there’s no bees
And there’s no sweet flowers or sweet melodies
And people think I’m Superman like George Reeves
Not cause I look like the man of steel
More cause I’m slick like banana peels
I traveled back in time to make meals on wheels
And keep hip hop from seeing how extinction feels
The future of hip hop is just plain screwed
Someone call Mario cause it’s going down the tubes
It’s been used and abused and nobody is amused
And there waiting for a savior and the savior is you
So do what I say and we’ll make it out alive, cool?
Give me your clothes, your boots, and your motorcycle
And while you’re at it give me your mic fool

Back from the future like Marty McFly
(You think that you know)
Great Scott, what I got can save mankind
(What I’ve been through but you don’t)
From the trouble and the struggle when they had to reminisce
(I’ve travelled through space and time)
On a time when good music just ceased to exist
(To preserve the art of rhyme)

First step to the solution is avoiding the pollution
Of these MC’s that believe their contributions
To the music will do it, but there’s nothing getting done
Like Rivers Cuomo’s sweater it’s coming undone
I’m #1, like I said in ‘09
Like pee or pinot gri, I’m flowing like wine
Raps going downhill like John Cusack
In BETTER OFF DEAD, I want my two dollars back
So I can try and buy some time
And end this before raps a crime
Here’s the torch, please accept
Every other rapper here is inept
But you, you can do everything I want you to
Do what you can do, keep the future from coming true
Save hip hop, starting with this tune

Back from the future like Marty McFly
(You think that you know)
Great Scott, what I got can save mankind
(What I’ve been through but you don’t)
From the trouble and the struggle when they had to reminisce
(I’ve travelled through space and time)
On a time when good music just ceased to exist
(To preserve the art of rhyme)

about

hiphopmcdougal Washington, D.C.

hiphopmcdougal, once intergalactic heroes, had been forgotten by time. The tales of their adventures had diminished from fact, to legend, to now, just a distant memory. It seemed the duo had ridden off into their last sunset. But just when the world was ready to forget... El Returno.
