Since the Last Time Lyrics

Since the last time, since the last time

It's been two years since we rock stages together
We covered bases together and whether we all agreed or not
20/20 vision is hindsight and now we got that so we done got back

Some of our soldiers have fallen, so many years of toiling
Touring, tears falling, naw pouring jaded from the industries
Jabs a lil' slower like Muhammad Ali but still we able to last

So we go in the studio, it felt new but yet in a good way
It felt old routines, we did came back so lucid, we was boosted
We juiced it and came up with some tracks that's stupid

And people responded to 'em, heads on the blocks
With locks and baggie jeans, the whole scene was fond to 'em
And how we got the labels kissing our hind parts
We desired art and never sold out for the high chart positions

I have been a thousand places
Seen a million faces since the last time
(Since the last time)

I have been a thousand places
Seen a million faces since the last time
(Since the last time)

Many rap groups attempt to latch to the popular cultures statutes
And thus they detach their roots from the soil that kept them loose
And made what they delivered so true

There's a desert waste land of past artists that's so cruel
Feeling thrown out like woody in toy story two
And yo we felt that but let me tell you Satan, he dealt that
I think it's time to give him his deck back, c'mon now

I have been a thousand places
Seen a million faces since the last time
(Since the last time)

I have been a thousand places
Seen a million faces since the last time
(Since the last time)

Since the last time

Arrested Development is an Afrocentric Hip-Hop group, founded by Speech and Headliner as a positive, alternative to the gangsta rap popular in the early 1990s.

It took the group three years, five months and two days to be offered a record deal. Hence the name of the first album was 3 Years, 5 Months & 2 Days in the Life Of..., which produced several hit tracks. These included "Tennessee", "People Everyday", and "Mr. Wendal", which hit the top ten. The group won a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album and Best New Artist, and were also Band of the Year by Rolling Stone magazine. Their 1994 follow-up Zingalamaduni, which did very well with some critics but was panned by many others, sold poorly. After the group broke up in 1996, Speech released a solo album, but sales were poor. The group reunited in 2000 (sans Headliner) and has been touring and releasing records via Speech's Vagabond Productions and Speech Music. While Arrested Development has struggled to regain a following in the U.S., they have met moderate, consistent success in Japan.

Although she was never an official member of the band (and frequently clashed with Speech), the haunting voice behind "Tennessee", Dionne Farris, released a successful solo album in 1994, Wild Seed-Wild Flower. The album spawned the hit single, "I Know".

In November 2003, the group sued the FOX network over their TV show Arrested Development. The suit is referenced in the Arrested Development episode "Motherboy XXX."

In June 2005, the group won the first round of NBC's television series contest Hit Me Baby One More Time, performing "Tennessee" and covering Los Lonely Boys' "Heaven."
