[Audio From "BeBe's Kids")
[Verse 1: Knowledge]
Sometimes I think back to the heatwave
The OG Days
When it was
Tip, Ye
Cornrows n Braids
I'm talkin
05, and 06
Pulling Pokemon licks
When cats was trippin over dark tints
May I vent
I was a youngin' then
Simba, comin' out tha den
Heart of a lion
Making his way up the Zion side
Kissing the sky
Like Hendrix
Are you Experienced ?
Cause if not
Then homeboy, you might get dropped
Word up
I said you might get popped
And if you step, come correct
So now I'm doin my thing
Just to collect these cheques
Cooling with my connect
On this street pack respect
Any less will get you decked
Or catch like 5 to the chest
You wanna beat on ya chest
Like a silverback
Better move with the pimps
Stay sharp just like a thumbtack
Clap, from the matic
Nas, I'm trynna be Illmatic
Try to play the Game
So at the same time
Nobodies level close to mine
I reminisce
And I remember
(x2)
[Audio From "Friday"]
Back when Xbox was the thing to have
I had the 10 speed
Ripping the streets in half
Copping a Julup then hitting the park
Hoops up
Back when Breezy went through change
And chucked the dukes up
My dirty chucks saw days
There was no play
Was ripping with the sticks
That 2k6
I reminisce from time to time
Of that ice cream chime
Then they marked the hood
The truck stopped coming at 9
But it's good
Rocafella used to be the Ralph Loren
Before Bugattis everybody wanted Bentleys and a Mercades Benz's
The Gs had me
Was brought up on the corner
Seen the coroner work a body bag
Like George Foremon
Police raided my house, I was in 3rd grade
All brothers came home safe, I used to pray
But nowadays count ya blessins
Or count a smith n wesson
Chamber empty
Two knees on the ground
One soul freed
I reminisce
And I remember
I reminisce
And I remember
One time. One time for ya mind
