Born Into The 90's - R. Kelly/Public Announcement

作词：R. Kelly

作曲：R. Kelly

Man what does it take for a brotha to make it around here nowadays

Stop the presses let me introduce the newcomer

That's guaranteed to leave you speechless

Peep this way back in the days

When I was waiting for my turn to get on stage and get paid

I've done a lot of high school shows and turned crowds out

Fellas yellin' Ho while the ladies scream my name out

I'll tell you that it wasn't enough 'cause

Kickin' it with my music every day was my first love

And as the time went on like the break of dawn

I got strong and now my word is bond

Some didn't think I had it in me

And when I said I wanted to become a star they laughed at me

Well the summer is here and here I am see

Kickin' the funky track because I'm born into the '90s

In the '90s

Make it feel good come on make it feel good yeah

He must be a star he must be a star

I'm born into the '90s

In the '90s

Make it feel good come on yeah make it feel good

He must be a star

Wait a minute wait a minute yeah that was funky

He must be a star

Let me get a little bit of this second verse

I took my tape door to door trying to get a contract

But they be like Man we ain't tryna hear that

Boy I tell ya it ain't easy being cheesy

When you're dealing with the industry you get faded G

Unless you know somebody that knows somebody that knows somebody

Him or her that knows somebody

And then they want front like straight

Oh you know my cousin from A&R Santa Fe

Well I be like Yeah and they be like Swell

Can we have all your publishing and I say Go to hell

I'm not selling myself to be sold out

So I just hold out until I get the right clout

Some spreading rumors saying R Kelly's trippin'

But I'm not I'm vacationing in the '90s

In the '90s

Make it feel good come on make it feel good

He must be a star he must be a star

I'm born into the '90s

In the '90s

Make it feel good come on yeah make it feel good

He must be a star

Make it feel good

He must be a star

Anybody know what time it is

Yo I feel it's time to get mine rise and shine

Instead of falling to the back of the line

So fee fi fo fum here I come to get some

While others bite their tongue

In and out of contracts with scum buckets

Makes me almost wanna say

Blah blah blah

But the R is cool and will remain the same

As I collect my fame and fear no pain

Yeah it couldn't have happened at a better time

A nice beat strong sample and a funky rhyme

And ever since I hooked up with the Midwest

I've been proper poppin' like Orville Redenbacher in the '90s

This track goes out to the public

Like Bartles &Jaymes would say Thanks for your support

In the '90s

Yeah I'd also like to say peace to my man Barry Hankerson and the Midwest Group

Also like to say what's up to my man Al Cobra a smooth Casanova what's up daddy
