[Intro]
Back in the days
On the boulevard of Linden
My click wore braids
In them days they wore fitted's
All we ever played were Clue tapes
They were k**ing
Back in the days
On the boulevard of Linden
The stars
The stars would perform on top of buildings
And Nas
Nas made a movie with Hype Williams
On the boulevard of Linden
Back in the days
On the boulevard of Linden
Back in the days
On the boulevard of Linden
Back in the days
On the boulevard of Linden
Back in the days
Back in the days
2x
I think they forgot about the swag yo
Swag yo
The realest in a cage
Or gotta tagged toe
Tagged toe
As a kid
Had a page of tic tac toe
We didn't have doe
So there was no Hasbro
Never felt poor
There was nothing to be sad fo'
We're Guyanese
My moms had me draped in mad gold
I thought i was rich
I posed like Slick Rick in my kangol
[Verse 1: Jesus Muhammed]
Once upon a time not long ago
I was on 118 and farmers bro
I was stopped
And asked to perform my flow
By a group of O.G.s
They were mad old
Mad old
And wise and hardened from the time spent Behind bars
You know the type
Doing pull ups on the cross light
Tattoos and scars
I said ight
Then i started to let loose those bars
They mouth ain't sayin sh**
But their eyes saying this is
Unnatural
Im a natural
But i lack those sk**s you acquire from talking to people
Awkward
Ill be on the ave and walk into people
All i ever wanted
Was someone to rep the cla** yo
With a lil cla** tho
How about Cons
He done got up on the cast yo
Of Love and Hip Hop
But Imma say through
Mona-Scott's meddling
And hack job editing
He kinda looked like an a**hole
a**hole
I think they forgot about the swag yo
Swag y'all!
Back in the days
On the boulevard of Linden
Kids kept their head shaved
And in a rage they k**ed their children
Take em up
Take em up
Bring em up dead
Queens get the money
Dollar, dollar bill y'all!
[Verse 2: Jesus Muhammed]
I start with a funny introduction
Thats how nice I am
Take a selfie of us girl
Post it on your Instagram
Whose duke that started following me?
Is that your man?
Oh sh** i give him a second look over
Yo ma that's my fam'
He used to chill with us at mall crib back in the day
It be 11 dudes deep
Then Devonae
We used tease her call her hood Daria
When she would come through
It f**ed me up to see my homey in an orange jumpsuit
They should of told me this about life
When i was a youth
Instead they wanted to add they 2 cents
And argue with you
sh**, if I had 2 cents
For every time some one added theirs
Id have a new 'benz and a mansion
With a marble flight of stairs
Chandeliers, 2 kitchens
3 Frigidaire's
4 bathrooms, Koala bears
And b**hes every where
Yeah
Id have that kind of cash flow, cash flow
Queens get the money
Its all about the cash yo
I think they forgot about the swag yo
(swag y'all)
I think they forgot about the swag yo
I think they forgot about the swag
Mama mad we smoking gra**
In her house
So we blow it out the back do'
