Chris James - Growin' Old lyrics

[Intro] Chaka Zulu, Chak, Chaka Zulua. Oh, yeah, ooh. Check it [Verse One] We used to roll through Inglewood bumping The Beasties Dana Dane on repeat 'till the tape deck deceased Me, my brother Carlo, bTwice and Ern Brn Singing "You must learn" Turned the same corner thousands of times Thousands of crimes petty but still we jetty Thousands of rhymes in our minds until we caught a headache Those were the days these are the nights I'm afraid To say it I hang them in my heart save them for a rainy day [Hook] Beastie Boys, Dana Dane and JJ Fad Oh it kinda makes me sad Because oh we growin' old Oh we growin' old oh we growin' old Fat Boys, "Beat Street" and Kangol hats Oh it kinda makes me sad Because oh we growin' old Oh we growin' old oh we growin' old [Verse Two] Way back in 1989 before hip hop had perks The girls had "I Love Daisies" on their shirts and it worked With me falling in love with the whole scene with a dream That I'd rock the stage and do the same dang thing Ties hanging from the pants everybody had dreadlocks Back then light skinned n***as ruled the whole block We rocked polka dots gangstas wore Guess with house shoes Without a care with nothing to lose come on [Hook] De La Soul, JB's and A Tribe Called Quest Man we didn't know what we missed because Oh we growin' old oh we growin' old Oh we growin' old 3rd Ba**, Special Ed and KRS Years ahead all of the rest because Oh we growin' old oh we growin' old Oh we growin' old The Pharcyde, Souls Of Mischief and the Wu Tang Clan Oh we didn't have a plan because Oh we growin' old oh we growin' old Oh we growin' old The Freestyle Fellowship and MC Shan The wind blew away the sand Because oh we growin' old oh we growin' old Oh we growin' old [Verse Three] I once had the whole world And all the time in the land The mountains high and the valleys low I never planned That it would leak right through my hand And I guess it's too late to know B-boys B-girls Be boys be girls good night
