[00:21.678]It was still dark when Mark arrived
[00:23.966]Maybe 6:45 in the morning time
[00:26.649]In the tenth grade, we was tight friends
[00:29.688]But neither of us had a driver's license
[00:32.349]His aunt was a flight attendant
[00:34.340]And she'd leave town with a Cadillac unattended
[00:37.342]So we used to get tempted
[00:38.923]That intense tendency to tend to what we wasn't meant to
[00:42.365]We would skip out on class and shit
[00:44.307]To go visit other schools, just tryin to act cool
[00:47.448]And looking back I have to laugh at it
[00:49.328]Cause all we did was burn up gas and flunk math fool
[00:52.741]But still it was super ill
[00:54.563]I mean two teenagers in a new Seville
[00:57.273]With 1987 in the tapedeck
[00:59.609]That was a part of my life that I'll never forget
[01:02.026]It went...
[01:02.864]The soundtrack still runs through my head
[01:05.484]I gotta keep every single step
[01:07.794]As old as we get, we don't forget
[01:10.563]We won't forget
[01:11.440]We don't forget
[01:12.996]The soundtrack still runs through my head
[01:15.521]I gotta keep every single step
[01:18.051]As old as we get, we don't forget
[01:20.400]We won't forget
[01:22.771]And you can't tell me nothing about frontin
[01:24.911]We wasn't even sixteen yet, come on jump in
[01:28.024]Cruise control until we lose control
[01:30.309]Max the low end out to let it bruise my soul
[01:33.397]And god knows I should have been studying
[01:35.570]So maybe I could grow up and be somebody
[01:38.013]But I loved the looks that the girls shot at me from the bus stop
[01:40.560]When we pulled up in that caddy
[01:43.748]Good thing back then I had bad game
[01:46.012]Otherwise there probably be a few with my last name
[01:48.902]Better that my true love was rap
[01:50.730]Now let it auto reverse, until the bad dub snaps
[01:53.660]Felt so right, forgot we was wrong
[01:56.047]Sittin at a stop light, singin along
[01:58.464]When I look in my rearview now, what would I see
[02:00.929]If I didn't have the music in my history, now give it to me
[02:04.176]The soundtrack still runs through my head
[02:06.462]I gotta keep every single step
[02:09.167]As old as we get, we don't forget
[02:11.461]We won't forget
[02:12.632]We don't forget
[02:14.295]The soundtrack still runs through my head
[02:16.631]I gotta keep every single step
[02:19.405]As old as we get, we don't forget
[02:21.692]We won't forget
[02:24.169]And we was just a couple of kids
[02:26.032]It was right around the same time that nobody was beatin the biz
[02:29.200]Had that, and I know you got soul
[02:31.075]On a tape that I made, recorded em off a Traffic Tram show (here we go)
[02:35.274]I was addicted to the radio
[02:37.063]Make my request, and wait for it
[02:39.046]Holdin my finger on the pause button, like "now go"
[02:41.922]I guess that was the original download
[02:44.805]Rap videos and girls digits
[02:47.047]A fifteen pack of blank cassettes for Christmas
[02:49.919]Used to steal mom's change if it's easy to
[02:52.370]We used to make up names for our graffiti crew
[02:54.944]Used to talk about makin it big
[02:57.169]And if we ever got rich, the way we would live
[03:00.227]Hey Mark, we ain't there yet but
[03:02.182]If you can hear my voice then turn your stereo up, like what...
[03:05.468]The soundtrack still runs through my head
[03:07.970]I gotta keep every single step
[03:10.376]As old as we get, we don't forget
[03:12.736]We won't forget
[03:14.059]We don't forget
[03:15.815]The soundtrack still runs through my head
[03:18.165]I gotta keep every single step
[03:20.553]As old as we get, we don't forget
[03:22.988]We won't forget
[03:25.285]
