๐ Lyrics
You were always in the mix
With a bag full of cassettes
Happy to connect with whoever
To make them blast them in their decks
The tape man
You had that label attached
And had respect
The way you always hustled hard
Like damn, I was impressed
You roamed the underground
Where nearly nobody was looking
But the few that did
Knew what the artists were cooking
Cause you prepared those tapes
Mixed them well
Listed the ingredients
Brought them along
And went hard with the pushing
You putting my name
On those tapes and handing them out
Pushed me
Towards more shows
Which handed me more
Hands in the crowd
You were always openhanded
And down to earth
What you did was worth a lot
Hands down
The clock hands moved
We both grew
Had busy timetables
And hungry stomaches
I stepped my game up
While you got your label up and and running
So you signing me
Seemed like a rational call
But the problems often holla
When a bag is involved
Even a nice record
Can harm needles
I've been wronged
And I've wronged people
And I was wrong to take it out on you
When I was trying to cope
With emotional upheavals
I guess my thoughts were all mixed up
Forgot about the mixtapes
And what you did for us
So now I'm rewinding the tape
To apologize for getting it
So messed up
So messed up
So messed
I saw trouble emerging
Started looking at you
Like you were a firm
And no longer a person
But when you backed out of the deal
I took it personal
Though it was for you to decide
Where to place all of your earnings
You had your reasons
But I was young and filled with wrath
Was towing baggage
And maybe I needed someone
To point the finger at
Troubled waters made me flip out
Started running my big mouth
Rained on your parade
I know that's water
Under the bridge now
But it's time I spat the truth
Was never really mad at you
My head was mess
And it remixed my attitude
I took shots at you
Later I found out
I should've taped my mouth
And just waited a while
I say it out loud
As I give you the props
That you never got
And apologize
For the idiotic shit that I popped
You pushed our mixtapes
We were lucky to get a shot
I shoot my thoughts back in time
Recall what you did for us as I say
Even a nice record
Can harm needles
I've been wronged
And I've wronged people
And I was wrong to take it out on you
When I was trying to cope
With emotional upheavals
I guess my thoughts were all mixed up
Forgot about the mixtapes
And what you did for us
So now I'm rewinding the tape
To apologize for getting it
So messed up
With a bag full of cassettes
Happy to connect with whoever
