He chants:
I’m not even in the world mehn!
I’m in JupiterOne thing i wanna assure them
If they think i’m gonna change or compromise my attitude
And my way of life, they making me strongerIt’s my life, my will, my way
Like a fine wine, Moddo is telling you that he never grows old
I thought i came before 47, I’m aging
Bring It Back
The hook goes;
Bring it back to the old age when there is love
Bring it back, bring it back
bring it back, bring it back-back!
Modenine raps about the grudge that has besieged the industry and overpowered the real love they experienced in the old rap days. According to the veteran, hip-hop should have evolved beyond the sublimanal lines flying around everywhere in the industry.
