Woolco Tapes ft. Jorun Bombay Lyrics

Press Play yall!

Press Pause yall!

Press Stop and then rewind!

And when you find a loop then you do it again

Record the same thing every time!

Cmon!

Well every time I set up and step in the booth

I can't help but reflect on cassettes of my youth

When I was packing the crew into my tiny bedroom

A recluse recording freestyles to let loose

Heads knew ya it's the truth going way back

Making mixtapes recordings and playbacks

ADATs nah crap from Radio Shack

I bought second hand like I was paying for crack

Happily making demos on the cheapest of cheap gear

Not your every day like a leap year

See here as a kid without any cash

At Woolco that could buy you a ten pack of blank tapes

Like they were giving em away as if to say

Give them something to play!

Ok so thats exactly what I did with my double cassette deck dubbing all the hits on

Woolco Tapes!

On Woolco Tapes!

I was staying up late making Woolco tapes into something great

Cause every single blank tape was a new space giving you a blank slate

Well they were super portable had storage and were versatile

Fully recordable forward and reversible!

Affordable!

Ya as seen on commercials

Horrible the first words that I burgled

From Rap Traxx to Rascalz I was really living for the feelings given

Of the rhythms and the reels spinning

Two spools new school few fools were too cool

It takes 2 Live Crew ruled

Lo and behold let me flow and be bold and I can tell a little tale

That'll never get old

Photocopying liner notes

Flyers for shows

Not one to stand by and watch time as it goes

So it flows

And this goes out to those who got tapes from Woolco before it closed

Whoa that's where I learned sage advice

They were the worst tapes at a really great price!

Black plastic red and white labels

Taping off the radio or mom and dad's tables

VCR or whatever you like

Recording on Headphones they worked as a mic right!

Now these tapes were cheap for a reason

Every Walkman I ever had loved to eat em

But I kept feeding the god lovin truth

The best beats I ever made were pause button loops

The quality was awful so thankfully

Somebody finally invented Blank CDs

Not Woolco Tapes

Woolco Tapes

Yeah I was putting in work on some Woolco Tapes

Lotta secrets on those Woolco tapes

I got a full dose of the Woolco Tapes

A Lotta gold on those Woolco Tapes
