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