What we have to do is with it When these individuals are young If you will, to be saved, not in a religious But not to constitute what this country at times if or which over
We seem to be an age of the gross We all have this idea we should up a little bit from our parents station And generation should do a little bit better
Alright, come on let's cut the bullshit enough let's get it start addressing this issue and open it up Let's take this shit back to and we can discuss statements Thats made on this and its whole original The that we all know and love
The we all enjoy the music you all accuse me of try na destroy Let's rewind it to '89 I was a boy on the east side of Detroit Crossin' 8 mile into into hick territory I'd like to share a story is my story and you cant nobody tell it for me
You have well informed me and I am aware that I don't belong here You've made perfectly clear I get my ass kicked Damn near from Bel-air shopping center Just for stopping in there the black side All the way to the side
there's a bright side, a day that I might slide You may call it a I call it haulin' my ass Through that of grass over them railroad tracks Oh them railroad tracks them old railroad Them good old oh well known tracks
So, go back Follow the yellow brick road as we go on episode Journey me as I take you through this nifty little place That I once used to call home home

I'd roam the so much they call me a drifter Sometimes I up a thumb just to hitch hike Just to get picked up to get me a to 8 mile and Van Dyke And steal a god bike from somebody's backyard
And drop it off at the park that was the mark To meet Kim had to walk back to her on Chalmers after dark To me in the house when I'm kicked out my Mom's Thats about the I first met Proof n' Goofy Gary on the steps At handin' out some flyers
He was doin' talent shows at centerline high I him to stop by and check us out sometime He looked at me I'm out my mind Shook his head like white boys don't know how to
I spit out a line and rhymed with first place And we both had the same that sound alike We was on the same shit big Daddy Kane shit With compound sound combined From that day we was to ride Somehow we knew we'd again somewhere down the line

My first year in 9th grade, forget that day at school It was cool till man M C Sham came through And said that pumas the brand 'cuz the clan troops It was rumors but man god damned they
Must a been true man we done banned they shoes I had the new the cool J, ice land, swayed too And we just through them in the trash like they yesterday's Guess who came through next, X debut

All I is meetin' back at Manx's basement Sayin' how we hate this, how racist but dope the X Clan take reminds me back in '89 me and Kim broke up for the first time She was try na two time me and there was this black At our who thought I was cool 'Cuz I rapped so she was eying me
And oh the irony guess what her name was ain't even gon' say it The same color hair as was and blue contacts and a pair of jugs The bombest god girl in our whole school if I could pull it Not only would I more popular But I would be able to Kim off at the same time
