about
Feel Like the 70's is a unique Apparel Art and music Drop that tells the story of teenage Tree as he looks back to the stories his grandfather Derek James told him about the 70's. "All of the great revolutionaries were assassinated in the 60's! Malcolm, Martin, and Fred Hampton of the Black Panther party. The system wanted us to be afraid to speak truth to the power structure. To fix our communities, to learn who we truly are. So in the 70s they began the black exploitation movement similar to today. Your entertainers are used to deceive you to keep you docile and compliant. There is a war for your mind young man. Don't ever forget that. I did my best to fight for the people in my time, it's your time now."

lyrics
[ Verse 1 ]
See I’ma leader I don’t follow no man
I been fighting off my demons
With my sword like Conan
Careful with that television
Boy we being programmed
It’s the coldest world we know
Ain’t no one holding yo hand, no ma’am
On my way to Venice beach
With no sand
Pray I don’t get caught jogging
And fall like last August
I fought
Like the black caucus
Beasts won’t back off us
The street,
keep calling’
The weak to feed off us
So peep
it gets deep
Sheep will meet harvest
You sleep wake up skeet, freak
I can’t call it
She leak, we keep callin
The meek receive coffin
You see
The heat on us
So speak or leave office
Uh
Yea you know what it is
Ancestors is resurrected through my spirit again
God body,
We don’t carry round the spirit of men
That was petty
Yea it’s heavy
But we carried it in
Broke a levee
Now this world is being flooded wit sin
Are you ready?
What’s a medley
Near the deadliest skin
Are you married?
to a system
that’s destroying your kin?
Flesh is buried
To the soul it’s unnecessary
[ Hook ]
Feel like the 70’s
Murder haters & jealousy
Feel like the 70’s
Misdemeanors & felonies
Feel like the 70’s
What the hell is you selling me?
Feel like the 70’s
Feel like the 70’s
Feel like the 70’s
Murder haters & jealousy
Feel like the 70’s
Misdemeanors & felonies
Feel like the 70’s
What the hell is you selling me?
Feel like the 70’s
Feel like the 70’s
[ Verse 2 ]
Politics is war without the bloodshed
At any minute they can aim an leave the spot red
Don’t let em turn the SHEET you rest into a deathbed
Too many traitors
Got no interest in a new friend
I guess I’m outta my mind
Been studying history
To see the cycles in time.
I grind, then I lie like i’m fine.
He sent the demons in swine
And now the pigs is behind us
Dishonest, no conscience
Ready to rob us
Of life, land, energy
Then blame it on ganja
You under arrest
Now you right back in bondage
So how can I rest?
See this game is a constant
I Keep a
Lot in my temple
King Solomon with my pencil
i’m in too deep, shit I dare not sleep
Keep
One eye open like a catholic priest
Gotta keep the same energy
When you fight beasts
Poppa told me ain’t a level here that I can’t reach
Preach
Feel like the 70’s
Revolution is necessary
I’m historic you couldn’t keep me in February I’m Legendary
See the fear in my adversaries
[ Hook ]
Feel like the 70’s

Feel like the 70’s
Feel like the 70’s
Feel like the 70’s
Murder haters & jealousy
Feel like the 70’s
Misdemeanors & felonies
Feel like the 70’s
What the hell is you selling me?
Feel like the 70’s

[ Verse 3 ]
Feel like a Jinn
Riding the wind
It never ends
Though I find my zen
Not wit my friends
Or what I spend
Had it bottled in
Leasing my pen
We die to live
Gotta a lot of sin
Ted to my skin
Though I repent,
Lit
Feel like the 70’s
These niggas on some other shyt
We thought the war the was won or something
Yet we suffering
We going through it
On the daily right in public
Entertaining though it’s draining
Tryna win against the Government
Some days I wake up smilin’
Other days it’s fuck it then
My soul’s eternal,
NOT this money
So I budget it
Go through the motions Every day
I’m barely functionin’
Tryna find a way up outta this cycle
Til we up again
