Artist: MA Doom (Masta Ace + MF Doom) Album: MA_DOOM: Son of Yvonne Song: Nineteen Seventy Something Typed by: jostmatt at bluewin dot ch I was raised to the sound of the seventies Earth, Wind & Fire soundin so heavenly Ohio Players and Curtis Mayfield Aretha Franklin's picture on the playbill Al Green in a tight suit, all white Mini Ripperton, high notes all night Moms even had a box full of 45s Put the needle down, yeah that sounds sorta live Sound like the kinda groove I can rap over Got drunk off the beat, then I was back sober Bring that part back, yeah I'ma murder that Donnie Hat' on a track with Roberta Flack Pile of records in a bag Sneak 'em out 'fore she notice that they're gone Gotta think, I don't know Should I rap off my mom's favorite song? Better hope I don't scratch it or that's it I'ma get my ass kicked, that's a classic Can't explain that I was just borrowin it Moms on a rampage lookin for her Parliament And Donnie Hathaway, feelin like a castaway Hidin in grandmom's room more than half the day If I tell her that her Parliament at Brian crib And nobody home now, I'ma be a cryin kid But it's seemin like I'm safe for the time bein My uncle gettin all the blame far as I'm seein I just gotta lay low like a snake belly It's a sticky situation like grape jelly I'm on the Titanic, or some other boat Got my mother and her brother at each other's throat (- Marvin - What? - Why you botherin my records? - I ain't touched your records - I know you was in my records - I ain't do nothin with your records * arguing continues* ) You better hope mommy never find out Cause if she does, then that's yo ass You know damn well if you touch one And you get caught, that'll be your mass (And the year is) (Nineteen seventy somethin) --> The Notorious BIG (Nineteen) (And the year is) (Nineteen seventy somethin) (Nineteen seventy somethin) The final act Brian's at the door with a black and red knapsack, came to bring the vinyl back I put it back before anybody notices He said, 'Close call,' I said, 'Yeah, I know this is' But I got away with it like the perfect crime And made a fresh tape, man, it was worth the time And aggravation and stress almost made a mess She to find out it was me, she woulda laid to rest But I'm over like a fat rat That was smart, it's a good thing you hid 'em in that backpack It feels so good to get that out the way Now I'm out the door, back out to play I'm about to say these are the Good Times like Chic And then I hear my mom shriek (- Duval, back get in here - Oh-oh - How did my record get scratched? I know you did it Go get my belt - Come on, ma - That's it, get my belt, now - Come on, ma)
