[?] was on the road |
| [00:13.24] |
Let's go back |
| [00:14.12] |
You can come with me |
| [00:19.00] |
Cause we all got a place in the past |
| [00:24.80] |
That we like to go sometimes |
| [00:28.49] |
I'm a share ya mines |
| [00:34.49] |
When life was real simple man I miss those days |
| [00:38.99] |
When it wasn't all about bills and try'na get paid |
| [00:42.30] |
Free as a young bird, remember that great age |
| [00:45.25] |
When all you had to do was go to school and make the grades |
| [00:49.49] |
My momma brought me every new toy that came out |
| [00:52.12] |
And we all congregated at my grandmother's house |
| [00:55.25] |
And when she tell ya 'stop running in and out' that's what she mean |
| [00:58.24] |
And the only job you had was too keep your room clean |
| [01:01.06] |
But soon things got deeper developed romances |
| [01:03.12] |
And getting phone numbers and slow dragging at dances |
| [01:06.50] |
And ya potna's roll with'cha right or wrong, clean or dirty |
| [01:10.12] |
If you curfew was at 10 you beg for 10: 30 |
| [01:13.31] |
You was considered cool if your game ran smooth |
| [01:16.30] |
And dude got ranked outta the schools for fake name brand shoes |
| [01:19.49] |
And it was always funny as long as it's not you |
| [01:22.68] |
Even through the tough times ungrateful I got through |
| [01:25.43] |
When we was young and the only thing we did was laugh and play |
| [01:29.56] |
and |
| [01:31.43] |
Making music hanging out in the hood just to pass the day |
| [01:35.43] |
to pass the day, |
| [01:37.93] |
We didn't always have a lot of money but that's ok |
| [01:44.87] |
Cause we was cool just as long as our hands had a place to lay |
| [01:48.69] |
|
| [01:49.93] |
I miss those times |
| [01:52.56] |
My first talent shows and my high school crushes |
| [01:54.31] |
Liking the girls so much I would catch 2 buses |
| [01:57.06] |
But the times spend with em is well worth the odyssey |
| [01:60.00] |
And the goodnight kiss was just like hitting the lottery |
| [02:03.13] |
Coming back around your homeboys high-capping |
| [02:04.93] |
And lying like a dog when they ask ya what happened |
| [02:09.75] |
My homies in my hood is where I got my skill from |
| [02:13.00] |
When it was my turn to swing I was never but still swung |
| [02:16.00] |
Connect to those memories constantly gilding through me |
| [02:18.56] |
I miss Saturday morning cartoons and karate movies |
| [02:21.18] |
And rapping on the street corners battling everyday |
| [02:24.31] |
With MC Ice, GT, Prepped J, and Rapper K |
| [02:27.75] |
Who win at playing football? I love those times |
| [02:31.25] |
And hanging out with Guy, Mark, Hopie, Michael, and Brian |
| [02:35.00] |
And walking Sterling hallways I always miss |
| [02:37.44] |
So let's get Metter green 84 through 86 |
| [02:41.06] |
When we was young and the only thing we did was laugh and play |
| [02:45.50] |
and |
| [02:46.88] |
Making music hanging out in the hood just to pass the day |
| [02:50.56] |
to pass the day, |
| [02:52.50] |
We didn't always have a lot of money but that's ok |
| [02:56.37] |
Cause we was cool just as long as our hands had a place to lay |
| [03:03.44] |
|
| [03:04.68] |
I miss those times |
| [03:06.43] |
I miss Club Boomerang, hanging and chillin' out |
| [03:08.87] |
And mobbing on Roseneath at LV's house |
| [03:11.82] |
The whole crew was chillin' my spot was the headquarters |
| [03:14.69] |
And not the kind of place you want your sister or your daughter |
| [03:18.50] |
Me and Z, KO, and AC Chill remember this? |
| [03:21.19] |
Having video games wars on Sega Genesis |
| [03:22.89] |
Shooting ball at McGregor Park back when it was poppin' |
| [03:26.95] |
When X-Men had the rock, nobody could stop em |
| [03:30.51] |
And me and Gangsta NIP we stayed in battle mode |
| [03:33.70] |
And me and Tech DV8's |
| [03:36.88] |
Young Felon and Brain-dead, we hung like that |
| [03:39.77] |
And my homie Murder One, Wreek and Klondike Kat |
| [03:42.95] |
And Dope-E and Point Blank and PSK |
| [03:46.07] |
I thought them days would last forever now they gone away |
| [03:49.07] |
Cause everybody got families now and green to stack |
| [03:52.32] |
Still I wish I could rewind the tape and bring it back, c'mon |
| [03:55.95] |
When we was young and the only thing we did was laugh and play |
| [03:59.70] |
and |
| [04:01.14] |
Making music hanging out in the hood just to pass the day |
| [04:04.70] |
to pass the day, |
| [04:07.27] |
We didn't always have a lot of money but that's ok |
| [04:10.70] |
Cause we was cool just as long as our hands had a place to lay |
| [04:15.89] |
|
| [04:18.39] |
|
| [04:20.33] |
I miss those times |
