Mic check 1, 2 Cause I'mma take 'em back on this one [Verse 1] Mama tell me that this life was on So I let the door lock when I press record The things I've seen they be going on TV screens And through the eyes of a knucklehead who's 13 Looking back to my old ways, late for school My moms yelled wake up like Dap from School Daze Popping out of bed with a f**ing levy head But I never forgot my headphones or ca**ette tapes Peace, no care in the world I played Street Fighter instead of these little girls And I never got love for the fact I was bad But I made straight As from the back of the cla** All my homework penning down lines 2Pac who? My idol was Busta Rhymes But I've come to realise that the times have changed But we still like to trip down on memory lane Our reminiscing will remain the same But instead this the song I sing [Hook] Baby how many times have I told you You can't hang on to the past [Verse 2] Time flies like a condor But we don't recognise from the back of that contour From the [?] of video tapes All the memories we've lost and dreams we take it's like I remember wonders of the Sega Ninja turtle movies and acting like power rangers And I remember '97 on the south side At the corner store flipping cheetos and hot fries That was a long time ago But I'd like to know that it was all worth it in the long run But when we get old memories fade But we still like to trip down on memory lane Our reminiscing will remain the same But instead this the song I sing [Hook] Baby how many times have I told you You can't hang on to the past
