[00:26.57]Thinking back to 88 the memories will live on
[00:28.93]The box of cereal and wrestling every saturday morn'
[00:31.49]I remember one day I was mowing grandpa's lawn
[00:34.15]I had the radio outside "You Got's To Chill" came on
[00:36.89]I used to run home from school for Rap City at three
[00:39.39]But now they only give the shorties ass and titties to see
[00:41.98]My homegirl said: "These rappers now-a-days is prettier than me"
[00:44.72]Whatever happened to days of Tribe and BDP
[00:47.31]We used to get up and run to the basketball court
[00:49.97]But now with everybody high NBA Live
[00:52.71]Is the closest thing we gettin' to sports
[00:54.19]These girls are 14 years old in they coochie cutter shorts
[00:56.74]It's innosence is lost
[00:58.24]But some things are still the same though, keepin' a nigga raw
[01:00.72]Chris is still rippin' Rick Flair still gotta the figured form
[01:03.30]Let's take it back to the essence
[01:06.01]So that the next generation could be happy with the presence
[01:08.98]JAin't like it used to be (Ain't like it used to be)
[01:12.17]When we were kids
[01:14.67]TThe 80's is crazy for the babies
[01:17.27]And now-a-days these little shorties amaze me
[01:19.64]JAin't like it used to be (Ain't like it used to be)
[01:22.70]When we were kids
[01:25.66]"Back in the day when I was younger" "Remember"
[01:27.60]"Back in the days"
[01:29.91]Way back, when Anni used to sit with us and talk
[01:32.29]And we was poor so we used to take the bus or walk
[01:34.90]My mom schooled me not to ever touch the rock
[01:37.44]Touch the white or cook cocaine in a pot
[01:40.18]Listening to Pac me and my brothers would box
[01:42.76]And write graffiti on the ground with the coloring chalk
[01:45.40]My brother was taught never hang with them gangs
[01:48.16]Cuz when them things bang you can lay in a box
[01:50.80]Take care what you rock just for sayin' your not
[01:53.33]From another side of town and the colors you rock
[01:56.02]Could your crib shot up like your mother is not
[01:58.53]Sound a sleep with hoax like the government got
[02:01.20]I suddenly thought; look how much the world changed
[02:04.11]And life in general dark nights and cold days
[02:06.62]Sittin' in hallway's listening to old J's
[02:09.25]Thinking of the old days, like P I reminice
[02:12.44]JAin't like it used to be (Ain't like it used to be)
[02:15.62]When we were kids
[02:17.99]TThe 80's is crazy for the babies
[02:20.36]And now-a-days these little shorties amaze me
[02:22.86]JAin't like it used to be (Ain't like it used to be)
[02:25.87]When we were kids
[02:28.83]"Back in the day when I was younger"
[02:30.87]"Back in the days" "REMEMBER"
