Remember All That

Above the law climbing walls till roofs got sprayed

Running for daze when we saw

More red and blue than the braves

And I remember getting chipper jonesing to make hit on street signs

Bus stops freeways with free paint and replay

It over again those were the days

When spitting freestyles that amazed was getting paid

Keepin' the crowd engaged the best wage you could have made

Having fun was getting blazed funny how things have changed

It was so new back then sneaking in shows with friends

Copying hand stampings with permanent pens

Underground shows right under my nose

Living legends bored stiff and the derelictuals

Then HipHop took off shiny suits and danced around

But connected every race background and passed down

To younger siblings and sons now dads rap wow

Paris to tokyo every show packed out

And rap was called a fad that'll soon pass out

Remember all that how we all laugh now

You remember that take it way way back

You remember that HipHop and rap

You remember that take it way way back

On a trip to the past when rap was called a fad

You remember that take it way way back

You remember that HipHop and rap

You remember that take it way way back

On a trip to the past when rap was called a fad

Back then I was cold chilling just mindin' my biz

Until I caught the vapors from that puff puff give

It was organized konfusion black moons I must admit

Rotating above my head digable planets and things

So I calmed my nerves sippin' latte listening to latee

Spinnin' def jams from lord finesse ditc

Turn on the TV for edutainment

Crooklyn dodgers and a wild pitch is how the game ends

Where's channel live homework procrastinating

I see the front door there my large professor's waiting

No debatin' I need a bigger shot than rob horry

Plus this leader of new school won't hear my sob story

In class I was a black sheep I wrote rhymes all day

Van damn the choice was mine and I found a way

I gave up sleep 'cause that's the cousin of death

Words I won't forget even till my last breath

You remember that take it way way back

You remember that HipHop and rap

You remember that take it way way back

On a trip to the past when rap was called a fad

You remember that take it way way back

You remember that HipHop and rap

You remember that take it way way back

On a trip to the past when rap was called a fad
