Memories |
Yeah, know what I mean Rick? |
Know what I mean Rick? |
Know what I mean Slick, Whoa! |
Yeah, wee! |
Fine, grown Pine-Sol, heavenly rhyme throne |
Remember when you were young in the '70 time zone? |
Stages, age is 'bout seven, I say, kids |
The dress code of our parents looked awfully outrageous |
Not down on 'em, games and clownin' |
When soul was at its highest rate like James Brown and them |
Soothin' every black thing, a groovy era actin' |
'Member seein' Shaft in the movie theater back then? |
I feel Richard Roundtree got 'em a fly deal |
Black men wearin' bell bottom and high heels |
Laughed a lot, some action, mass production |
Remember when cars were darn near half a block long? |
Parents were so into that crap |
Bunch of sweet memories to us older rap cats |
Muhammad Ali knucklin' in tournament |
Pimp daddy hats with buckles and ornaments |
How we forget Snappy? |
Five people sleepin' in one mattress and yet happy |
Could even make sex seem sour |
As I impress the world with my extreme power |
'Cause Rick make memories sealed in almanacs |
Not to mention the immense appeal the mack had |
When you wake up in the mornin' (redeem from any crap) |
Because I bring that lovin' feelin' back to rap |
For situated as poor beneficialator |
Kool-Aid couldn’t last a hot minute in the refrigerator |
School notes, slidin' and stealin', hidin 'em |
Bazooka, bubble gum cartoons still inside of 'em |
No way, same essence of it’s earned paper |
Pimps flyest dressin' muthafuckas, weren’t they? |
But hood lies, you afraid of a good wine? |
I used to love the actor who portrayed one on Good Times |
You need a friend to warn a soul, man, it kinda slow |
One thing 'bout it bro, overflow when it’s kinda so (shame) |
Life, a pitiful game |
'Member the robot? |
That was my shit on Soul Train |
Got hyped too, psyched too and the feelin’s right too |
Chillin' on the fire escape on a nice night, too |
No one gone try hurt di mon |
Remember Right On, Blood and Jive Turkey slang? |
Brothers chippin' in for alcoholic money |
When you look at old flicks don’t we all look funny? |
Yo' mama, damn, we used to talk improper then |
'Member when we used to walk bop, walk bop again? |
Givin' them the rhythm that we brought |
Push our hand back like we was swimmin' when we walked |
Bad all about, Huggie Bear, Rat all about |
'Member afros, what the fuck was that all about? |
Buenos noches accents too, friends too |
Everybody had a lot of roaches back then, too |
Profusely around us, Lucy Afarensis |
Fleets wearing Bruce Lee Bananas |
And kick shit, ball in the hand and stick with |
And we use to be in some of the «Man, you in deep shit» |
Most cases, father away for good |
Local Flat Foot was part-of the neighborhood |
Standard, and the panthers (Wow) |
Used to dress like Erykah Badu and Amanda’s now |
