Throwbacks Songtext
von Illy

Yeah, yeah, walk with me
Trip down memory lane, we brought it back
Time stamps, EP a shade but all fact
Wrote all over the map, going off scraps
They never saw an opening act open an app
Way back, it was all out of reach, still took the leap

Failure no option, second first defeat
I dreamed ′bout getting where the squad got now
Practiced my Aria speech while I dropped off pounds
Yeah, we thought we knew it all, we hit a thaw
Hostile soul we could afford, still had a ball
Not one to fit in, gave a fuck about a popular trend
Too busy getting off my head with my friends
And realest shit I heard was it goes fast
And it went fast, feels like when I blinked it passed
Become whatever, I still hold a soft spot back

For an Aussie accent kicking backpack rap that


Throwbacks
Get me in my zone
Play them old school records
They gon' take me home
Give me that throwbacks
Something we all know
Play them old school records
One more for the road, let′s go now

Yeah, yeah, got hip-hop taste buds

I loved that boom bap shit from day one

I don't need no drug to get my brain numb
I get my highs off a snare and a bass drum
The way it's done, I can hate but the stage loving
Went from row in mum′s car to topping the charts like it ain′t nothing

I wonder why we ever moved on
From a golden age of hard roads, festival songs
And though it seems better with rose-tinted, we know this
The glitz and glamour of showbiz got old quick
Try as I might, I can't tell if it′s just nostalgia
Or if shit hit different
But long as we here, we gon' keep on lifting
′Cause the world keeps spinning so we spin with it
With my finger on the pulse, keep me on my toes
But when it's late and we lit and it′s time to go, we want


Throwbacks
Get me in my zone
Play them old school records
They gon' take me home
Give me that throwbacks
Something we all know
Play them old school records
One more for the road, let's go now

How to create beats by cutting old-fashioned records
What we gonna do is go back, back, back
Throwbacks

Throwbacks
Get me in my zone
Play them old school records
They gon′ take me home
Give me that throwbacks
Something we all know
Play them old school records
One more for the road, let′s go now

Throwbacks
Play them old school records
They gon' take me home
Give me that throwbacks
Play them old school records

One more for the road
