Story behind the song

I had made a beat at Pacman's studio on my laptop and I was thinking about how rap used to be and I wanted to do a song that shows how much I love hip hop from back in the days when it was about stopping the violence and dating etc... and not about pimping, gang life, and money.

Lyrics

Hook: I wanna go back to the early 90s cuz
I can't stand the new rappers they're signing
they can't put it down like the pioneers
so let me take you back to the early years

Listen up everybody let me take you back
back to when you didn't need a chain to rap
back when they rapped about getting a date
cuz it seems today they only rap about hate
I wanna bring back the bucket hat but
for now I'm watchin tv with a cat on my lap
I'm telling him I wanna change the whole world
but for now I'mma let all my Ideas unfurl
Don't mean to offend but I'm not with these trends
don't run with a heard not into what's in
cuz I know rap is about standin out
love peace and unity is what I'm about
I'm gonna give the kids just what they need cuz
the parents exposin them to chicken feed and
all that can do is destroy ya life
to build it back up you'll have to fight

Hook

Remember when rap was about ya skillz and not
snortin coke or poppin pills
you'd carry a boombox and walk down the block
turned up loud playin run-dmc's rock box
I'm here to keep the ol school spirit alive and make it new again and make it young and vibrant
and show everyone who has ever doubted me that
that they had no reason to ever shout at me
I remember when I took my boombox to school
sat out in recess for breaking the rules
my favorit class in the world was music
so today I know I can use it to
change what I see into something beautiful
and give you a style that's quite unusual so 
play this in ya boombox and put it on ya shoulder
and remember that rap's not over
