[00:03.323]Okay, it's quiet now
[00:16.857]And we drove all through the neighborhood
[00:20.488]Just sittin' in a car all day
[00:22.373]Tryna find a radio
[00:24.519]And we wrapped both hands in tinfoil
[00:28.325]Pointed at the window frame
[00:30.559]Tryna find a radio
[00:32.739]All up in my grandma's basement
[00:36.507]Slidin' all the closet doors
[00:38.766]Tryna find a radio
[00:41.159]And the homies say they heard a rap song
[00:44.613]Sounded like some folks they know
[00:47.162]But we couldn't find a radio
[00:49.109]Hard to express when the world is listenin'
[00:51.584]Hard when you're sure that the world is not
[00:54.108]In between P.M. Dawn, and Sun Ra
[00:56.767]Wearing a suit like my school mascot
[00:59.522]The Edison owl not a head in the crowd
[01:02.077]Could match my technique and impeccable style (style)
[01:05.706]Says the young Hassan
[01:07.471]In the mirror while Tip's saying "rock-rock-on"
[01:10.426]With my guy Stefan who despite the specks
[01:13.055]Saw himself doing things he would live to regret
[01:15.761]Anyway, reciting off top the memory
[01:18.673]Burnt a little chia my laugh was Gimli (heh)
[01:21.765]Regarding the guns I coulda shot
[01:24.093]I'm more Dove might blow up but won't pop
[01:26.669]Jigsaw blocks and hop the road home
[01:29.437]Steps on the Ave where I played and roamed
[01:38.906]And we drove all through the neighborhood
[01:41.878]Just sittin' in a car all day
[01:44.746]Tryna find a radio
[01:47.604]And we wrapped both hands in tinfoil
[01:50.150]Pointed at the window frame

[02:10.959]The old me would drink a 40
[02:12.329]And eat bologna, shinobi
[02:14.207]On NBA Live, I play with Kobe
[02:15.928]The OGs, I miss my old hood
[02:17.768]Miss my homies, is lonely
[02:19.318]The radio host is like they know me
[02:21.342]The ocean with the seashell is how we floatin'
[02:24.087]Was hopin' to hear the airwaves, I think it's broken
[02:26.958]I can still play it if the tape resurfaces
[02:29.497]Kept the old Boombox for just these purposes
[02:32.332]Heard a day show had mine on there recently
[02:35.171]People had a hard time finding the frequency
[02:37.867]Piece of me show feels personal
[02:40.609]Circled on all sides by used car commercials
[02:43.344]It's worth it though, whole block listenin'
[02:45.916]'cept the kids, they so not interested
[02:48.914]Implement new COINTELPRO's
[02:51.880]Hooks, fit loops, copyrighted by Velcro
[02:54.240]Whole sound changed, don't nobody want to sell those
[02:57.094]Call the intercom yab this is my bellcote
[02:59.835]And we drove all through the neighborhood
