Deltron 3030 - Memory Loss Lyrics






You try to get over you're gonna go under
You try to get over you're gonna go under

Literally it's 3030
I don't got time to be wasting time on you slow pokes

I want y'all to, get open, like the ocean
Brothers be buggin' like "He's from Oakland?"
What? I'll whoop you insinuatin' we ain't capable
Stupid ass niggas is gonna rape a ho
A few out a thousand
My town is foundin' fathers of the black panthers we provide answers
You don't wanna believe then y'all some blind bastards
They got you set up real good: generalizing
Industry rising while energies declining
Niggas think I'm whinin'
Really? I don't give a shit
'Cause everybody's dyin' but y'all think that's the end of it
That's why it's so easy to be a Benedict
Or imitate cause they wouldn't teach ya algebra when you was eight
Now you fourty-eight and you hate children
Forgot where you came from now you're straight illin'
Don't fight the feelin'
You better deal with it

(People have a memory loss
They try to get over)
Try to get over you're gonna go under

It don't matter what you do or say
Try to get away but I'm gonna catch ya
Wanna compare yourself to them
Well guess what homeboy you don't match up
I'm my own individual so I know it isn't true just because you say it is
'Cause anything that's truth got proof it ain't you
That's simply just the way it is
Sing

Lookin' up the sky is red
City's burning up over head (flame on baby)
We can make the best of it (rock that)
In this post apocalypse (right on)

(People have a memory loss
They try to get over)
Fake mothers trying to get over
Word

I'm on some real shit
So real brothers feel this
'Cause we know reality is crazy
That's why nothin' amaze me
Look in the past
You might have to go farther then the book in your class
My niggas cookin' some crack and moms get the first hit
That's ok with you? that's ok with me
I'm not here to judge the way you be
I got my own complications the government shoeless rations
Plantations is man-labor for 5 bucks for hourly intervals
I get a G for that
So believe what I spit to you is given back
Don't think that I'm livin' that dream
When the I.R.S. repossess most of your cream
It's like I dream when I die I wake up
I see all the people I disrespected and try to make up
It's praise to the creator, relate to nature

(People have a memory loss
They try to get over)

    Hands down ... nobody from this day and age can compare to this ... it was a different time for hip-hop.. .

  23. T.... S....

    This song was composed by Sean Lennon, John Lennon's son.....

  24. S.... H....

    Del is a musical wizard

  25. C.... ....

    Reminds anyone for playing football and getting big hits to opponents ??

  26. S.... G....

    Del was the first rapper I've ever listened to. 12 years old, and beaming about my new Gorillaz CD, purchased during a trip to NYC after seeing the Clint Eastwood music video on "the Box", and completely unaware he was an entity outside of that band, it was the only rap I'd like for a good 6 years (I had a bad habit of restricting myself to classic rock and a love I still hold for older System of a Down in high school). Discovering Deltron, Hieroglyphics and the Funky Homosapien later in life was such a treat.

    Also, thank God for the Gorillaz. At 12, I was listening to shit like Linkin Park, Nickelback and Alien Ant Farm. They were my first dose of good taste in music, and may have saved me from mindlessly nodding along to the 10+ overplayed rock bands that all sound the same on the radio.

    S.... G....

    The box was my go to back in the day! If you haven't listened already, check out "'93 to infinity." Souls of Mischief. Del was the producer. Classic :)

  27. R.... L....

    The guitar makes me n u t

  28. M.... J....

    Is it Sean Lennon in the chorus of the song ?

    M.... J....

    Ah yes ! It is !! : )

    M.... J....

    Where(?) Cutting up the record

  29. J.... R....

    This song is awesome, shazamed it from caseys vid

  30. T.... A....

    REALITY IS CRAZY

  31. f.... ....

    Del is straight dope

  32. D.... ....

    Deltron!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  33. B.... K....

    "They got you set up real good your neuralizing" is incorrect, he says "real good, generalizing"

    B.... K....

    Most of the lyrics in the description are wrong.

    B.... K....

    Keemstar?

  34. F.... ....

    Catch A Bad One Sample 😂

    F.... ....

    both are a sample of Dame Una Sola Noche Para Amarte

  35. T.... P....

    I gotta say, been listening to Del for years, and since the beginning he's always been the realest rapper out there. People sayin "oh Kendrick/Cudi/whoever (this day n age, not like Pac n stuff) is so real" and stuff, I'm not sure if they're just dumb or if they've never heard any of this stuff or what.

    T.... P....

    B Beasty dude you do not know what you are talking about Kendrick Lamar cannot touch this dude.

    T.... P....

    B Beasty dude you do not have a Good ear or real understanding for hip hop

    T.... P....

    B Beasty fool listen to what Dal is saying verses what Kendrick Lamar is saying there is no comparison del is head-over-heels way better than him.....

    T.... P....

    B Beasty Do not even disrespect Delton again in your life!

    T.... P....

    I love del, but 3 stacks and face and common are equally consistently real

  36. A.... C....

    Del is just way too fucking good lol.

    A.... C....

    Yeah. I'd say he's underrated but he's ignored. Talented, intelligent, and wise beyond his years. Black people need to take notice. Lyrically a font of wisdom. Common sense compressed in four minutes or less. Trying to elevate the masses above the excess...fuck I can't even write a comment without Del's style of lyricism.

    A.... C....

    +Edward Marshall Agreed

  37. M.... ....

    Fuckin' classic!

  38. S.... ....

    I am not a fan of rap, but this is good.  Awesome beat and deep lyrics that outshine most rap that is on the pop charts.

    S.... ....

    Snowman0147 all rap is the same today lil pump, yachty, all of them have no talent whatsoever

    S.... ....

    Youre a fan of rap its just underground rap u like

    S.... ....

    Underground is always better than mainstream

    S.... ....

    Check out mf doom if you like this

    S.... ....

    Don't fight the feelin you better deal with it

  39. L.... M....

    I wanna grow up like that because that is real growth. I mean the before&after he in great shape...

  40. L.... M....

    I know one thing he has came a long way from misterbabolina

    L.... M....

    Louis Moon yeah after biting aceyalone

  41. M.... ....

    0 0 0 
    ........        [- Deltron Zer0 for prez] 

  42. C.... W....

    del has made a lot of great tracks but this is my favorite, just above pissin on ya steps

    C.... W....

    haha, great & funny song

  43. F.... ....

    Heard this songs beat. Found the song. Didnt even know he was the one rapping on Clint Eastwood by Gorillaz

    F.... ....

    +FrostBait This song in particular makes me think of the Gorillaz song Rock the House.

    F.... ....

    FrostBait
    Come on... That voice is STRAIGHT INDISTINGUISHABLE

  44. T.... ....

    This is the good stuff

  45. n.... ....

    n.... ....

    Sean Lennon

    n.... ....

    ohhh thx

  46. J.... R....

    when I have a bad day this sends chills down my spine. Especially in this day in age.

  47. D.... ....

    brah. your lyrics are off....

    D.... ....

    @***** 48 "forniate"

    D.... ....

    No I thought he was saying "48" as in 48 years old

    D.... ....

    +Novacaine Noah He was saying 48.

  48. a.... ....

    Was anyone else completely shocked to hear Sean Lennon on this track? Did not see that one coming, but I ain't mad about it at all

  49. J.... Q....

    I have always felt this is the most real song on the album. Great song.

  50. D.... D....

    what a great flow, he raps with so much ease

    D.... D....

    = Mastery

  51. g.... ....

    30 over 30

  52. k.... ....

    straight truth

  53. p.... n....

    What's that instrument that sounds like a metal flute or something like that? It is part of the loop and starts at 0:22 to 0:24 and repeats later? Sounds cyberpunk, like from the old Deus Ex game soundtrack.

  54. C.... C....

    what do u mean

  55. L.... ....

    A true gem in Hip Hop.

  56. I.... ....

    To be fair to the rave scene, ecstasy makes pretty much everybody a little bit gay

  57. n.... ....

    Sounds like a harpsichord

  58. K.... ....

    ill be seein Del at Mulberry Mountain, AR in June

  59. l.... ....

  60. o.... ....

  61. M.... M....

    I don't even remember saying this. Guess i must be suffering from.... MEMORY LOSS

  62. T.... D....

    this guy over here making puns

  63. C.... F....

    Anyone know the sample or the instrument of the bell/xylephone-sounding thing in the chorus?

  64. s.... ....

    Its like I dream when I die I wake up

    ok they werent too off, but youre welcome for the corrections ;)

  65. s.... ....

    Now you forty-eight and you hate children

  66. s.... ....

    They got you set up real good generalizing
    Industries rising while energies declining
    Niggas think I'm whinin really I don't give a shit

  67. s.... ....

    a lot of the lyrics are way off lol

  68. s.... ....

    Real talk - If Deltron still tours after RtB go wherever the fuck you have to go to catch it

  69. s.... ....

    This song was incredibly sick live with a fuckin orchestra doing it.

  70. R.... A....

    THE HORNS!!!!

  71. w.... ....

    "cos they forget to teach you algebra when you was eight. now you 48 and you hate children? forgot where you came from, now you straight illin'! don't fight the feelin', you best deal with it." so on point...do ya homework!

  72. r.... ....

    Yeah nigga.

  73. d.... ....

    dr octagon and this are two of my favorite albums in the genre, hands down! 3030 is actually kind of a sequel actually, they're both produced by automator.

    check out the cold vein by cannibal ox. maybe the best album in hip hop, pidgeon is a fucking masterpiece.

  89. R.... ....

    event II is supposed to drop before 2012. del said his part is already recorded and done.

  90. X.... ....

    New to hip-hop, but willing to give the genre a shot. This is a good album to start with? Was also considering Dr. Octagon.

  91. J.... E....

    I love walking to Del. I have a hard time not smiling when I hear 1:45 on a warm, overcast day.

  92. k.... ....

    my favorite thing about underground rap, how much the fans dis Lil wayne hahah justice
