Flashback - Part 1

Flashback - Part 1

A Poem by Lepadah


I wanna flashback to "love 2 love u baby" /

Dance me into a disco/

Open rebellion inside Studio 54/

Freaking to Summers/

Smoothing out LQ w/the uptown hustle/

I was that Buffalo gal/

I decided to go round the outside/

Where Latinos & Morenos dominated break dancing/

Falling out of the sweetest hangover/

Into the Paradise Garage/

Knuck knuck on the wheels/

Acid head & faithful followers worship house/

Exposed the freak in me/

Fuckadelics telling me I was going to be someones "beach"/

We were pillpopping/

Droppers/

Blowers/

All 1 funky wild psychedelic flower/

Those were the days/

When Stax wax gave birth to Black Moses/

Days when I was lost in space/

In a place called the Bronx/

Deterioration all around/

Abandon buildings falling to the ground/

Splattered naked ladies on isolated halls/

Tagging walls/

Baggies sleeping on broken benches/

Rats parading around in dirty water trenches/

Potholes create abstract art in streets/

Music boxes booming/

Remember them dayz eye haze from cocaine/

& Run DMC was driving the music world insane/

Cause "it's like that."

Cardboard boxes draggle behind b boys/

Setting stage 4 street shows/

Crazy legs was hotter than the 4th of July/

South Bronx held me a slave to its difference/

Arresting thoughts of the B55/

I was in the middle of gunsmoking/

Shattered glass/

& the bullet blast/

Back, back when the Black Spades was not a card game/

& the Seven Crowns were street Kings/

When Superfly was my man only in my technicolor dream/

We all fell in love w/shaft/

So "shut yr mouth"/

In the word was "God"/

"Son"/

"Earth"/

Five percenters/

Wearing 100% coconut oil/

Dixie peach grease my scalp/

I was infatuated w/my liberation/

Back in the days when "Plato's Retreat" was the after party/

Ya heard.......
