[?] 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
