Irrelevant - Ebrahim

Boy’s Choir

This is your basic 101 class

We’re taking too much music from the past

If you agree with me

Gather round, clap your hands and lets make history

If I took a page out of Steve’s book

Rocked a riff like Donnie would

Everybody’s taking from the past and not the present

1973 is just irrelevant

If I bit a style out of Smokey’s look

Stole some word’s from a Chaka hook

Everybody’s taking from the past and not the present

1981 is just irrelevant

Nowadays everybody wants to be a superstar

They’re trying to be like someone else

While forgetting who they are

And it’s a damn shame

Cuz by now you’d think we’d be far

From this hypocrisy and ideology

Man, I find it so bizarre

Pre

Just like the next kid I had my share of influence

From that sweet Babyface to my man Common

Whatever happened to the days when we used to say

Hey it’s Tuesday

Time to drop 10 dollars on that brand new release

Pop it in, press play and inspire me

Where did all the good music go

Oh how I miss those days

If I took a page out of Steve’s book

Rocked a riff like Donnie would

Everybody’s taking from the past and not the present

1973 is just irrelevant

If I bit a style out of Smokey’s look

Stole some word’s from a Chaka hook

Everybody’s taking from the past and not the present

1981 is just irrelevant

Just cuz I’m on stage doesn’t mean I wanna be a

superstar

I’m trying to be my own self while forgetting who they

are

And it’s a damn a shame like Bubonic Plague and SARS

They’re killing artisty and musicology

Man, I thought we’d come far

Pre

Wasn’t raised on soul but I had to get to know

Mr Raphael and D’angelo

Rember those better days when we used to sing

(You're my lady)

Oh that used to be my jam back in ‘96

Nowadays them kids all they want are hits

You won’t find me in a music store

But oh how I miss them days

If I took a page out of Steve’s book

Rocked a riff like Donnie would

Everybody’s taking from the past and not the present

1973 is just irrelevant

If I bit a style out of Smokey’s look

Stole some word’s from a Chahka hook

Everybody’s taking from the past and not the present

1981 is just irrelevant

Breakdown

Ohh woah woah woah woah woah

Take me back to the good old days

When we used to sing for love and not for show

Ohh woah woah woah woah woah

Something’s wrong with the kinds of songs

They play all day long or maybe I’m too critical

If I took a page out of Steve’s book

Rocked a riff like Donnie would

Everybody’s taking from the past and not the present

1973 is just irrelevant

If I bit a style out of Smokey’s look

Stole some word’s from a Chahka hook

Everybody’s taking from the past and not the present

1981 is just irrelevant
