| There comes a day in your life when you wanna kick back
|
| Straw hat on the porch when you old perhaps
|
| Wanna gather your thoughts, have a cold one
|
| Brag, to your grandkids about how life is golden
|
| So I will light a cigar in the corridor of the crib
|
| Pictures on the wall of all the things that I did
|
| All the money and fame, 8 by 10's
|
| of the whole Rat Pack inside of a big frame
|
| Collidin with big names that could’ve made your career stop
|
| All that, and your man is still here and I’m still hot
|
| Wow, I need a moment y’all
|
| See I almost felt a tear drop
|
| When was the last time you heard a real anthem
|
| Nas, the millionaire, the mansion
|
| When was the last time you heard your boy Nas rhyme
|
| Never on schedule, but always on time
|
| These streets hold my deepest days
|
| This hood taught me golden ways
|
| Made me, truly this is what made me Break me, not a thing’s gonna break me (2x)
|
| Ohh, I’m that history I’m that block
|
| I’m that lifestyle I’m that spot
|
| I’m that kid by the number spot
|
| That’s my past that made me hot
|
| Here’s my life long anthem
|
| Can’t forget about you
|
| (Can't forget about, Can’t forget about you) (2x)
|
| Can’t forget about the old school, Bam, Cas, Melle Mel, Flash
|
| Rocksteady spinnin on they back
|
| Can’t forget when the first rap Grammy went to Jazzy, Fresh Prince
|
| Fat Boys broke up, rap hasn’t been the same since
|
| So irregular, how it messed you up when Mr. T became a wrestler
|
| Can’t forget about Jordan’s retirement
|
| The shot Robert Horry to win the game in the finals kid
|
| Some things are forever, some things are not
|
| It’s the things we remember that gave the world shock
|
| They stay in a place in your mind so snug
|
| Like who the person was with whom you first make love
|
| Unforgettable, unsubmittable, I go by N now
|
| Just one syllable, it’s the end cause the game’s tired
|
| It’s the same vibe, Good Times had right after James died
|
| That’s why the gangsta rhymers ain’t inspired
|
| Heinous crimes help record sales more than creative lines
|
| And I don’t wanna keep bringing up the greater times
|
| But I’m a dreamer nostalgic with the state of mind
|
| The past the past enough of it, aight then
|
| But nothing gives me chills like Douglas and Tyson
|
| Or Mike when his talk was live
|
| Or when he first did the moon walk on Motown 25
|
| That’s why, darling, it’s incredible
|
| That someone so unforgettable
|
| Thinks that I am unforgettable too |
