E-LUX - Nostalgia lyrics

I done been to every single state I done met all types of women I seen n***as endings And I saw em from the start I watched d** And bullets Rip families apart I seen mothers strung out And they kids on the ave I watched n***as hustle hard And watched other families Get up on Sunday mornings Go to church to praise god I watched good girls Turn to strippers In the club f**ing wit them thug n***as Tricking out the dubs I watched the twin towers Fall straight down to the dust I remember all the weeds on each And every corner I remember walking down the stair case And all I saw was bums Sleeping The rest Was getting high and numb I remember when 125 Was full of venders And the Rutgers was so crowded That fences started leaning I remember when the trains was loud And had graffiti I remember when You couldn't walk the hood wit a chain I remember when n***as kept the work up in house I remember when The Feds Just ran up in the house I remember when the bloods And crips hit the city I remember when he copped 3 grams And just blew! I remember when n***as Started shaking up in Harlem I remember when cam Had n***as wearing pink I remember all them n***as out Brooklyn Getting fly I remember all them n***as Out in queens started shooting I remember white plains road Jamaicans had it locked And in each and borough You couldn't walk through a block I remember when You couldn't ride the back of the train I remember he laced that weed That f**ed up his brain I remember when Biggie Put Ny back on the map I remember jones beach When that b**h got slapped I remember the back seat Of the car When he pulled out The gun Told n***as To get out And run! I watched n***as rise to the top of they game Only to fall Because they couldn't Remain the same I watched people go to college And a earn a degree And they still not productive In today's society I remember when I used to work A bullsh** 9-5 I remember when sh** was real live at the Apollo I remember when Dougie was fresh And Slick Ruled And KRS was mad spitting knowledge For these dudes I remember when Dj's was scratching in the park The graffiti hall of fame On 106 the and park I remember when NWA Changed the game From that day Hip hop Would never be same I remember when the ghetto boys Dropped mind playing tricks I remember when the Def Squad Was dropping all the hits I remember when the whole vibe In the rap game changed No more tight lyrics It was about the beats I remember all the police Just flooded all the streets They hired all these rookies And put em the beat I remember writing My first rhyme Y'all even peak You hating on E-Lux Monkey do! Monkey see! You know I'm a just trend setter So follow the leader Brace yourself back I come equipped With the re up! The second time around Is always better than the first Been hungry from the start Still dying of the thirst A wise man Fore sore I would wreck every verse I remember when this n***a Snatch that old lady purse When I die Just gimme a proper Eulogy in church When they drop me in ground I'll resurrect from earth
