Above the law, climbing walls till roofs got sprayed Running for daze, when we saw more red and blue than the braves And I remember getting chipper, jonesing to make hit on, Street signs, bus stops, freeways with free paint and replay it over again those were the days When spitting freestyles that amazed was getting paid Keepin’ the crowd engaged the best wage you could have made, having fun was getting blazed, funny how things have changed, it Was so new back then, sneaking in shows with friends, Copying hand stampings with permanent pens, Underground shows right under my nose , Living legends, bored stiff and the derelictuals, Then Hiphop took off, shiny suits and danced around But connected every race background and passed down to younger siblings and sons, now dads rap wow paris to Tokyo every show packed out and rap was called a fad that’ll soon pass out, remember all that? how we all laugh now
CHORUS you remember that? Take it way way back you remember that? Hiphop and rap you remember that? Take it way way back on a trip to the past When rap was called a fad (x2)
back then I was cold chilling just mindin’ my biz until I caught the vapors from that puff puff give it was organized konfusion, black moons I must admit rotating above my head, digable planets and things so I calmed my nerves, sippin’ latte listening to latee, spinnin’ def jams from lord finesse, DITC turn on the tv, for edutainment, crooklyn dodgers, and a wild pitch is how the game ends where’s channel live? homework procrastinating, I see the front door, there my large professor’s waiting no debatin’, i need a bigger shot than rob horry, plus this leader of new school won’t hear my sob story, in class I was a black sheep, I wrote rhymes all day “van damn”, the choice was mine, and I found a way I gave up sleep cause that’s the cousin of death words I wont forget even till my last breath
CHORUS
