(Verse)
I’m talkin’ old school lucky charms and captain crunch Game days I’m laced up in my Reebok Pumps Poppin’ 4 fireballs just to prove I was tough And asking her to dance just to call out his bluff She kissed me on the cheek but I kept that on the hush You weren’t cool unless you got a seat in back of the bus Fact of it was, it wasn’t bout catchin’ a buzz Life was a rubber band and baseball in the web of my glove And my man was MJ so I was waggin’ my tongue Lit up the driveway so we could play way after the sun And into the dark, one on one my brother’d be Starks And we would ball like we were up in the league (he’s on fire) Man hunt to running bases my smile got some braces How time flies it’s hard to believe I wasn’t worried as the time passed but lookin’ in that hour glass I swear it ain’t as full as it seemed (Chorus) In the book of life, grief and beefs a novel I ain’t got time to wallow in the sorrow The past is the past, I did what I could It’s ain’t forgettin’ the bad, it’s rememberin’ the good So when we reminisce of our past relations Talk about the nonsense, trials and tribulations It’s all good, and it’s understood It ain’t forgettin’ the bad it’s rememberin’ the good (Verse) Blunt stunts on the bench an’ ditchin’ detention Getting bent with my henchmen, did I mention This was way back when, old days feel like a different dimension I wouldn’t change a thing, nah I’d do it again sen Drive around and smoke, do that same old loop Old E 40’s grab a shorty and just hold down a stoop Cause there was nothing to do, just ladies to pursue Skip class drink brew, the same 1, 2 who knew… Time flew so fast we grew, into a mislead braindead knucklehead crew It’s true, just livin’ to joke slapbox, freestyle, smile Party and smoke, after weed, cigs, and beer my pockets were broke I didn’t have a whip so I pimped out my bike spokes, pegs and all Roll to the courts and school cats in handball, skatin’ kickflips at the mall (Chorus) (Verse) Remember hookin’ up with hot dates on my cot I had to inflate Whatever we ate, cooked on hot plates Pot of coffee up late, Potter brought me my weight Prolly had some problems, solved um, just cleaned the slate Finished “Up State Of Mind”, our new creation Met my second fam on my 5 year vacation Drank till I found myself lost in translation, god damn… I miss those trials and tribulations (Verse) Remember sayin’ goodnight just as the sun was risin’ And wakin’ up as it set below the horizon Night life felt right, ‘cause we were day dreamin’ 3 month long trends, we’d change with the seasons A crew of misfits, thought we were rockstars Hardheaded for sure, but sure we were headed far Schiff told me to be patient, he said the worlds waiting Sifting through these trials and tribulations (Chorus)
