| Okay, I remember the days
|
| High rights, low lefts, even stevens and fades
|
| Troops, Lottos, and BKs, those was the days
|
| Hi-tec boots spray painted witcha names
|
| T-shirts airbrushed that read the same
|
| Thick herringbone chain, one gold with yo' initial
|
| Harris Photos, group shots, can you remember?
|
| Barry him told his bitch go to the prom and die
|
| Didn’t lie shot his-self in the head with the 4−5
|
| When she disobeyed, had North Clayton crazed
|
| Just to reiterate dog those was the days
|
| Fo' the invasions of haters, man crews from all around
|
| Used to get down at True Flavas, bumpin Key Lo
|
| Rockin Damage, Cross Colour and Paco
|
| While playboys stepped in talent shows
|
| Prom night, tux and Kangol was so cool
|
| Fuck them new model cars we ridin' old school (old school)
|
| We were tryin so hard
|
| Hard to survive
|
| Cause even though we were young
|
| We had to stay strong
|
| No matter what we went through
|
| It was me and my crew
|
| And that’s how it went
|
| When we were kids
|
| In 3 months we stayed in Jamestown
|
| Hamwood and Diplomats
|
| Played with Transformers, G.I. |
| Joe’s and Thundercats
|
| We was lovin' that
|
| Before they started jackin jacks
|
| For notes from Red Oaks had folks scared to come through
|
| College Park after dark, Crown Victorias police unmarked cars
|
| Be aware, Wayne Williams was out there, but we ain’t care
|
| Kids was gettin stabbed and ditched out there too busy playin
|
| Double dare ya touch shorty on the ass, that’s a bet
|
| Want your Kool-Aid and sugar, smack your hands and say «sweat»
|
| It’s mine now place it in my Louis Vuitton pouch
|
| Thump a nigga on his knuckles make him say ouch
|
| Slouch socks, box Chevy Caprice
|
| Hot Niss, cut da whole Disturbin' Tha Peace
|
| Wit no conscience, broke niggas call 'em non cents
|
| No comments, it’s Lil' Fate payin homage to College Park
|
| We were tryin so hard
|
| Hard to survive
|
| Cause even though we were young
|
| We had to stay strong
|
| No matter what we went through
|
| It was me and my crew
|
| And that’s how it went
|
| When we were kids
|
| I had a Long John but no Silver, no gold or plat
|
| I was simply red from the years I been holdin' back
|
| With two sides to a book I lick stamps and light matches
|
| And set fires in garbage pails and cabbage patches
|
| A child of the corn been wild since I was born
|
| Climbin' over barbed wire, clothes got torn
|
| Shoes got muddy and my clique turned cruddy
|
| Wherever I go they went they my buddies
|
| I brush teeth, brush naps and calm streets
|
| Dreamin' of Cadillacs, wood wheels and plush seats
|
| Cats with gold teeth and raps with such beats
|
| Macks with no grief and some sacks of green leaf
|
| When I loaded my cap gun I was ready for action
|
| Starin' at beer cans and a moment to crack one
|
| Wanna hang with the big boys and play with the big toys
|
| And be with the people makin all that got damn noise, man
|
