[Verse 1]
I was sleeping in cla**, took a seat in the back
Dreamin' of rap reading speeches while receiving a plaque
The bell ring, we outta here, interruptin' my dream
Now when I write the pen and mic is like a pipe to a fiend
Cyphers at lunch, groupies crowd around in a bunch
Wink my eye at her once, watch her try to catch up like [hunts?]
Just to walk the hall with a n***a spring, summer, fall
Used to want them all, my n***as
We sippin' on some liquor ‘fore we dip into the party quick
Jason had the cup so what we mixing the Bacardi with?
sh**, if they shootin' then we hop the fence
I ain't dyin' cause some n***a scuff somebody kicks
Photos represent us who we were at this time
So now this image seem to stay stuck in my mind
Couldn't explain it any better so I wrote it in song
I pray our souls rise ‘fore the devil know that we gone
[Hook]
In my younger days, younger days, younger days
I used to sport a shine
In my younger days, younger days, younger days
I used to sport a shine
Always got [?]
[Verse 2]
We was mackin' girls from other schools who came to see us play
But little did they know [?] was losin' every game
I was the captain of the team so I had a couple groupies
Kick it, buy a ticket to [Thelona?] and the movies
Kiss and missin' most of the plot
My hands went from in her shirt to fingers close to her twat
That's what we called it back then
That's how we chill from 93 until infinity
Winnin' women's hearts and later losin' they virginities
Girls that I corrupted, [?] in public
Young, wasn't in love so in turn they fell in love with
I know your friends say just how good we be together
I hate to break your heart but you deserve somebody better
The girl I really wanted she just split up with another
Too scared to even ask, was close enough to be her brother
Boy I'll see you in the summer, number under her name
Keep in touch Dre, please don't ever change
Well
[Hook]
[Outro]
Yea we used to, always make sure you get like the baddest chick
Used to see who had the dopest thing written about them
And girls always said “don't show nobody”
You know five minutes later n***as was showing to they boys like
‘yo, look what she wrote'
E'rybody woulda had a crazy [?] dog remember?
Remember back like, you know what I'm sayin'
When cats used to rock, uh what's that junk called?
Used to rock [Dada?], n***as used to rock like [Platinum?] Fubu and sh**
Ay sh** was cool til n***as was wearing that sh** all the time
We was like man, n***a Fat Albert again? Damn n***a
Dog, remember the [Avery's] jackets and sh** man
Remember cuttin' cla** man
Bringing chicks to the movies and sh** you know what I'm sayin'
Aw man
Miss this sh** though
