[00:39.371]As I reminisce back growin up around my way
[00:42.361]I can't help but think about the games we used to play
[00:45.261]We used to play games that would make parents mutter
[00:47.751]Like Tag Spider and Hot Peas and Butter
[00:50.681]We rode our bikes through Prospect Park
[00:53.181]Did jumps over hills and came back before dark
[00:55.681]We even rode skateboards downtown and back
[00:58.421]In fact we were scared so razorblades we would pack
[01:01.351]Played basketball and we
[01:03.761]Played Chinese handball at a park called [Name]
[01:06.571]And he who lost was forced to play the wall
[01:09.631]And then got hit in the butt with the ball
[01:12.121]And after we worked up a sweat and got loose
[01:14.931]We bought a Hero and a 50 cent juice
[01:17.611]Word yo
[01:18.241]Uneek Uneek remember back in the day
[01:20.351]Yo let's Ice finish
[01:23.131]Just think about when your moms used to dress you it hurts
[01:26.061]Church shoes and real loud shirts
[01:28.371]Feelin dumb so yourself you redeem
[01:30.871]You buy some mocknecks and some tailor-made garbadines
[01:33.821]Remember those pants with the pockets on the side
[01:36.571]You wore with your Pumas and strutted with every stride
[01:39.191]The winter months appeared to be
[01:41.401]You sported snow boots leather bomber then sheepskins
[01:45.751]Then when you felt the spring breeze
[01:47.621]You bought a name buckle to wear with your Lee's
[01:50.241]Campus shorts and shirts in the heat
[01:52.881]With a nylon do rag Adidas on your feet
[01:55.551]With real thick laces (Ha ) Am I lying Shoot
[01:58.671]Don't even front you even had a Hawaiian suit
[02:01.441]Haha
[02:02.121]Crazy I never had a Hawaiian suit man
[02:04.741]Yo Uneek go 'head
[02:05.991]The nineties are here times are going fast
[02:09.231]And it's the perfect time to reminisce about the past
[02:12.161]When I think about it I get a pang
[02:14.721]And hear people back then talk with they slang
[02:17.791]I hear it now it sounds corny
[02:20.091]When 'give me a pound' was 'lay some skin on me'
[02:23.081]People wore afros and called it their natural
[02:25.391]And if you were soft back then it meant that you
[02:28.391]Were a sucker boy who used to irk me
[02:31.351]You never was really down a jive-time turkey
[02:33.591]Most other kids used to joke and diss
[02:36.211]It was called a and it'd sound like this
[02:39.351](That's why you got rejects) then the next guy would say
[02:41.841](But my rejects are new and yours are old okay )
[02:46.071]Word
[02:46.761]Now we sayin Big Uneek
[02:50.201]As I reminisce I'll always remember
[02:52.951]1984 the month was September
[02:55.471]My first year of high school and every fool knows
[02:58.231]You had to dress fresh and look hype in your school clothes
[03:01.301]I had the clothes with something added
[03:03.731]A gold name plate when a few people had it
[03:06.411]Now that was trouble cause you would get robbed
[03:09.281]On the bus goin home by a crazy large mob
[03:11.781]They'd sneak on the back of the bus and they looked
[03:14.651]For somethin they wanted what they found was what they took
[03:17.461]One day they found me standin in the lane
[03:19.951]They didn't hesitate to say"Shorty run your chain"
[03:22.321]Before I could fight someone snatched it and jetted
[03:25.321]Everyone was a victim and I'll never forget it
[03:28.331]Word man
[03:28.831]Them times were kinda rough man
[03:30.331]Yo Ace you remember times like that man
[03:33.881]Yeah I can remember like back then son
[03:36.321]You didn't have to worry about a knife or a gun
[03:39.071]You balled up your fist like a man and fought your fight
[03:41.931]And kept your left up if your brother taught you right
[03:44.801](Word) Back then a fist was your best weapon
[03:47.481]So you threw up your hands instead of just steppin
[03:50.241]And if you lost you lived to fight another day
[03:52.551]I heard a brother say now there's no other way
[03:55.731]To win a fight except to use a bullet
[03:57.971]"The trigger makes me feel bigger when I pull it"
[04:00.901]He said I just shook my head at this
[04:03.341]And that's what made me wanna reminisce
