When We Were Kids

Thinking back to 88 the memories will live on

The box of cereal and wrestling every saturday morn'

I remember one day I was mowing grandpa's lawn

I had the radio outside "You Got's To Chill" came on

I used to run home from school for Rap City at three

But now they only give the shorties ass and titties to see

My homegirl said: "These rappers now-a-days is prettier than me"

Whatever happened to days of Tribe and BDP

We used to get up and run to the basketball court

But now with everybody high NBA Live

Is the closest thing we gettin' to sports

These girls are 14 years old in they coochie cutter shorts

It's innosence is lost

But some things are still the same though, keepin' a ***** raw

Chris is still rippin' Rick Flair still gotta the figured form

Let's take it back to the essence

So that the next generation could be happy with the presence

JAin't like it used to be (Ain't like it used to be)

When we were kids

TThe 80's is crazy for the babies

And now-a-days these little shorties amaze me

JAin't like it used to be (Ain't like it used to be)

When we were kids

"Back in the day when I was younger" "Remember"

"Back in the days"

Way back, when Anni used to sit with us and talk

And we was poor so we used to take the bus or walk

My mom schooled me not to ever touch the rock

Touch the white or cook ******* in a pot

Listening to Pac me and my brothers would box

And write graffiti on the ground with the coloring chalk

My brother was taught never hang with them gangs

Cuz when them things bang you can lay in a box

Take care what you rock just for sayin' your not

From another side of town and the colors you rock

Could your crib shot up like your mother is not

Sound a sleep with hoax like the government got

I suddenly thought; look how much the world changed

And life in general dark nights and cold days

Sittin' in hallway's listening to old J's

Thinking of the old days, like P I reminice

JAin't like it used to be (Ain't like it used to be)

When we were kids

TThe 80's is crazy for the babies

And now-a-days these little shorties amaze me

JAin't like it used to be (Ain't like it used to be)

When we were kids

"Back in the day when I was younger"

"Back in the days" "REMEMBER"
