Nas - Pause Tapes (en) Lyrics
by RentAnAdviser.com
remember the first time I made a beat
I had a cassette player
in my grandma's crib
I didn't have all, you know, the
extravagant equipment, you know
This was back in the late
'80s, and I used to listen
to music on the radio
That I liked, you know, particularly
old school, like, '70s
And I would record it, and
then, after I recorded a certain
part that I liked
I would record, loop, record,
loop, record, loop
Until it just became one beat
And you know, that was the beginning
of me making beats"
It's a drive-in movie, no roofs
on, a bunch of Benz's
Let's try to re-imagine the
passion when I got in this
A Panasonic with the tape recorder
Tryna level the treble and bass in order;
the stations sound distorted
I'd move the dial to improve
the sound, years later got
a Sony stereo system
No comparison with the – boombox,
my livin' room knocks
My nigga Mayo next door, he bangin'
on the wall, told us to stop
Take me back – drugs and money,
we cruddy, lungs smoky
Fiends in the hallway, bummy,
just finished the Ol' E
Music's savin' our lives – just
listenin', gettin' fried
To underrated MC's; sprayin'
somethin' to hide
The aroma; still in my mom's
crib, was young and lazy
Quit school 'cause I needed fly
shit, the fiends would page me
Not tryna be locked on
a bid, Queens crazy
Guess jeans and Polo jacket, just in
the crib causing all this racket
Always knew I was the verbal assassin
Submerged in a very dirty world,
but only was half in
That's when I had an epiphany, Kane
went last on "The Symphony"
If I could set a posse cut
off, that'd be my entry
Pickin' up the stereo's remote
control, quickly
Ron G's in the cassette deck,
rockin' the shit, G
A surprise – I opened up,
bombshell in my mind
Tells me I could hook a beat
up for myself to rhyme
My mom's hall closet, in
boxes, all kinda shit
Johnnie Taylor records and some good
Grover Washingtons, I'm lockin' in
Grab a piece of vinyl, drop
the needle at the top
Listen for a beat to rock, 90 minute
tape, I got enough time
Play it one time, four bars
Press Record, then press
Pause, then restart
Record, loop, repeat
Do that 'bout twenty times –
yo, I made my first beat
