Let's take it back to 1992, momma pushed me out her womb/
In that little room, right around noon/
All the doctors scramblin, my mother started ramblin/
A 10 pound baby, the God's were now handling/
Braces on my feet when walkin on the concrete/
With a forrest gump run, but a smile that was sweet/
'member dad runnin out, had ta stop up at the store?/
In the middle of the day, thinkin maybe 3 or 4/
But once he came home yo, he nearly hit the floor/
Saw an ambulance in front, and me behind the doors/
I was playin super mario, on the super NES/
I started twitchin on the floor, and couldn't breathe a single breath/
I was stressed, (breath) man I guess I had seizure/
Body turnin blue like the inside of a freezer/
Resuscitated by my mother while she's panicking/
Sister cryin in the corner, medic's are examining/
Second time in one year, somethin must be wrong/
I'm drinkin orange medicine, the taste is hella strong/
That was way back when, I never had em again/
I scared the whole damn family into thinking I was dead/
Bring it back to 1999, where I learned ta ride/
Hopped up on a skateboard and I swear the world was mine/
A fresh clean deck, c-cruisin down my alley/
The first day of summer, weather feelin like Cali/
Back before the days when I wanted to be famous/
Back before the days I don't even know what fame is/
I was just a little kid/
Livin in this world (yo), everything was big/
Never saw the negative, nothin but the positive/
No one told me anything, building my self confidence/
I laughed at the few that would laugh at my shoes/
And laugh at my pants and my shirts and my views/
Let's bring it a little closer to 2006/
Stayin after school, with suspension in the mix/
Life was pretty was good, but I lost a couple friends/
But I didn't really mind cause I thought we'd make amends/
I was skating every day with the wind in my hair/
I grew it out ta be rebellious, I didn't care/
An mp3 player bought from my sister/
Listening to Blink, and We Don't Need To Whisper/
Headphones on that would wrap around my ear/
A volcolm beanie and a hoodie with a tear/
Everything was great, I didn't think about the dark side/
The only thing I thought about were Rodney Mullen darkslides/
Damn man for real, like, how the hell he do it?/
Playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater, like I knew it/
Ignorance is bliss, I was focused on a kiss/
From a girl that I was diggin from the beginning of the 5th/
Let's take it back ta grade 9, everything was realigned/
A couple friends gone, movin on, with there lives/
I thought of it as a sign, another kid left behind/
Tryna find his vision and a way ta be defined/
But what does it all mean when you're thinking in the past?/
Cause high school comes and it goes pretty fast/
Poof and it's gone and not even a flash/
A buncha little memories floating in a gla**/
