I remember Way Back I mean way back ages. |
| [00:23.41] |
Eighth grade I think, feels like yesterday. |
| [00:26.25] |
Bowl cuts was the craze I was crazy |
| [00:28.50] |
long blond hair all over the place. |
| [00:30.74] |
And I'm pale as I ever was baby face, |
| [00:33.31] |
with a frame like a skeleton. Skinny kid, |
| [00:35.86] |
no friends still love by everyone. |
| [00:37.64] |
No shit I was cool, I had plenty fun. |
| [00:40.02] |
World wish I would grow up big, no not built, |
| [00:43.79] |
but they said, drink my milk. |
| [00:46.36] |
Didn't get no where switched up diet. |
| [00:48.81] |
Started having hip hop. Pop's didn't like it. |
| [00:51.33] |
Wanted more Springsteen, |
| [00:52.70] |
Earth, Wind, Fire. |
| [00:53.82] |
Felt that was fine but to rhyme had to try it. |
| [00:56.50] |
Couldn't hide the fact that I wanted to rap. |
| [00:58.79] |
Bought Jay Z CD wit my own pension. |
| [01:01.79] |
And that was back in 98 wit the Langley sniffilin, |
| [01:05.51] |
Money ain't a thing. And even though I couldn't relate, |
| [01:09.11] |
I kept studyin, and listenin and stuffin my face. |
| [01:29.20] |
|
| [01:32.28] |
And then came High School |
| [01:33.65] |
started picking up a mic thought I was cool. |
| [01:36.20] |
My friend said yo homie, you know that your white dude? |
| [01:38.93] |
I said what for real? Yo its all good. |
| [01:41.32] |
Cause like this, when I tried it, liked it, fixed it, hyped it. |
| [01:44.92] |
insisted the mic be positioned just right. |
| [01:47.68] |
Just like that 9th grade footy heard, |
| [01:50.19] |
straight from the philly burbs. feel me? Pretty sure. |
| [01:52.65] |
Suburban threat was the name, we would really work, |
| [01:55.45] |
steady spendin the day spittin silly versus. |
| [01:58.02] |
No curses, rightin bout our girlfriends. Ball point pen, |
| [02:01.30] |
head spinning like a whirlwind. |
| [02:02.84] |
Gettin on the mic, I'm a wizard like Merlin. |
| [02:05.39] |
Breakin barriers, tearin walls like its Berlin. |
| [02:25.36] |
|
| [02:28.08] |
And I think it was the summer of 12th grade? |
| [02:30.36] |
when Uncle C passed away leaving us empty. |
| [02:33.00] |
And it hurt, real bad, disturbed, real sad. |
| [02:38.09] |
But we had to move on so in fact real fast, |
| [02:42.18] |
we wrote this song about fallin ones, miscues, |
| [02:45.30] |
and the misuse of words used to disdue. |
| [02:48.49] |
So true. In a serious face |
| [02:51.06] |
I'm convinced god works in mysterious ways, |
| [02:53.60] |
like everything happens for a reason. |
| [02:55.98] |
I had to believe it, |
| [02:57.04] |
cause that explains why the leave us. |
| [02:59.25] |
As in people that mean everything. |
| [03:01.22] |
I got love for them all, they'll be their if I fall But. |
| [03:19.50] |
