| It was still dark when Mark arrived
|
| Maybe 6:45 in the morning time
|
| In the tenth grade, we was tight friends
|
| But neither of us had a driver’s license
|
| His aunt was a flight attendant
|
| And she’d leave town with a Cadillac unattended
|
| So we used to get tempted
|
| That intense tendency to tend to what we wasn’t meant to
|
| We would skip out on class and shit
|
| To go visit other schools, just tryin to act cool
|
| And looking back I have to laugh at it
|
| Cause all we did was burn up gas and flunk math fool
|
| But still it was super ill
|
| I mean two teenagers in a new Seville
|
| With 1987 in the tapedeck
|
| That was a part of my life that I’ll never forget
|
| It went…
|
| The soundtrack still runs through my head
|
| I gotta keep every single step
|
| As old as we get, we don’t forget
|
| We won’t forget
|
| We don’t forget
|
| The soundtrack still runs through my head
|
| I gotta keep every single step
|
| As old as we get, we don’t forget
|
| We won’t forget
|
| We don’t forget
|
| And you can’t tell me nothing about frontin
|
| We wasn’t even sixteen yet, come on jump in
|
| Cruise control until we lose control
|
| Max the low end out to let it bruise my soul
|
| And god knows I should have been studying
|
| So maybe I could grow up and be somebody
|
| But I loved the looks that the girls shot at me from the bus stop
|
| When we pulled up in that caddy
|
| Good thing back then I had bad game
|
| Otherwise there probably be a few with my last name
|
| Better that my true love was rap
|
| Now let it auto reverse, until the bad dub snaps
|
| Felt so right, forgot we was wrong
|
| Sittin at a stop light, singin along
|
| When I look in my rearview now, what would I see
|
| If I didn’t have the music in my history, now give it to me
|
| The soundtrack still runs through my head
|
| I gotta keep every single step
|
| As old as we get, we don’t forget
|
| We won’t forget
|
| We don’t forget
|
| The soundtrack still runs through my head
|
| I gotta keep every single step
|
| As old as we get, we don’t forget
|
| We won’t forget
|
| We don’t forget
|
| And we was just a couple of kids
|
| It was right around the same time that nobody was beatin the biz
|
| Had that, and I know you got soul
|
| On a tape that I made, recorded em off a Travitron show (here we go)
|
| I was addicted to the radio
|
| Make my request, and wait for it
|
| Holdin my finger on the pause button, like «now go»
|
| I guess that was the original download
|
| Rap videos and girls digits
|
| A fifteen pack of blank cassettes for Christmas
|
| Used to steal mom’s change if it’s easy to
|
| We used to make up names for our graffiti crew
|
| Used to talk about makin it big
|
| And if we ever got rich, the way we would live
|
| Hey Mark, we ain’t there yet but
|
| If you can hear my voice then turn your stereo up, like what…
|
| The soundtrack still runs through my head
|
| I gotta keep every single step
|
| As old as we get, we don’t forget
|
| We won’t forget
|
| We don’t forget
|
| The soundtrack still runs through my head
|
| I gotta keep every single step
|
| As old as we get, we don’t forget
|
| We won’t forget
|
| We don’t forget |
