Flashback - Part 1A Poem by LepadahI 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.......
