Hank Iving - Throwback Thursday lyrics

[Verse 1] Remember back in the days of old? I was young But, I still had a venomous tongue. I represented the slums No packing weapons like guns, we toted ice picks And sticks with handlebar grips and sh** And I remember only having scraps While homies scrapped over crap and now we rap over tracks No holding back for a dap. We tackled tracks on ADAT And kept the vibe live, drinking Ides on I-75. (Remember that?) I was a born loser, grew to be a whole game newer Not no c**aine mover, just a gold chain, cooler I made more maneuvers than those that tried to do us And hoes, they wanted to screw us and MOLA's all for the moolah? sh** To look back, it's like a long road traveled And a long cold barrel gets hot for those who tattled But never for those who battled, we exchange words I changed Herbs into emcees that you've heard, so there you have it I'm deeper in thought, than the ba** in the speakers you bought I taught myself how to walk and when it's best not to talk And how to rep your own block and live the good life And looking back you like to do the sh** right? I'm feeling that But I've gone from listening to rapping it. Fifths of whiskey to cabinets Missing my fam, to traveling. Wishing for cash, to having it Remember this: I'm taking calls from all my dogs From Somerset to the Fallbrook Mall. Love of all y'all *****[Hook]***** We all exchanged laughs. I've been asked if I could change my past I had regrets, not worth mentioning. Never take it back We pa**ed time and now it's moving so fast It's got us holding on and hoping that the moments will last **************** [Verse 2] Remember Double Dribble tournaments, perfected your roll... On them old Nintendos and playing Tecmo Bowl Or OJ giving recaps, Pat Ewing without kneepads And the Raiders running sh** in LA? Believe that Or Detroit players, would the Lions come up? On a 3rd down and 10, we watched them lining them up But Scott Mitchell did some b**h sh** and he fumbled the ball But, Number 20 got the call and still ran for 12 yards When Dominique was at his peak, playing Jordan and Pip Really only Joe D'd be able to hold them for sh** Everybody's cheering for their team and watchin' them lose b**h about Mike's win, but still coppin his shoes Like the ones with them reflectors or the ones with them tongues I wanted every f**ing pair, but I had nothing but ones Motorcity Bad Boys won 'em back to back And after that it was like Rip, y'all take the Stack KG, Shane, Marker, Jon and Benny B EP, AG, Dobson, Leppy and Jon D (What up!) Migs, Brandoe, Tomo and SB JMack, Muhme, Maizy and my Albanian Family. (Ku je!) I went from nothing to something. Bluffing, to snuffin' And white lines and puffin, to realizing it's nothing This is the life that I live, the life that I lead My wife and my seed...You break my heart and my pen bleeds *****[Hook]***** We all exchanged laughs. I've been asked if I could change my past I had regrets, not worth mentioning. Never take it back We pa**ed time and now it's moving so fast It's got us holding on and hoping that the moments will last **************** [Verse 3] We went up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right B, A, B, A...make it seem eeezay Remember green days. Remember three ways Money in abundance from getting rid of some cheap 8ths We had Mags and Krylon. Tables, we'd pile on At the cafeteria, stomping and snapping, getting our rhyme on Get back my rhythm...Folders were denim We laced burners on Jansports, but never kept nothing in 'em I never wanted to be a part of the system I was smarter than my teachers there was no reason to listen Remember RTD's and MTA's. With blue line rhymes Y'all get there quicker while running in place Remember visiting my sis and pediatrics She pa**ed and my family so me on the same mattress Remember Jon with Häagen-Dazs, Fishman, my confidant My uncle flew out...y'all feel the ambiance He helped me walk again in more ways than one And brought the love of the family right back to the MOLA1 My ma was holding her head at the foot of the bed and keeping me fed I lived, cause Katrina couldn't picture seeing me dead In time the world changes, we once were all strangers I'm bringing hope to whomever thought they'd be famous In no time, we look back through a MO rhyme Reminisce over the Magic, I'm Worthy of all the Showtime *****[Hook]***** We all exchanged laughs. I've been asked if I could change my past I had regrets, not worth mentioning. Never take it back We pa**ed time and now it's moving so fast It's got us holding on and hoping that the moments will last ****************
