Yeah Just sittin' here in the studio, you know thinking about the old days and reminiscin about how things used to be I can remember back then real well
( *knocking* )
Come in Oh, what up, yo Ice U Rock in the house What's up y'all? (What's up) Yo, I was here in the studio, you know reminiscin about the past and how things used to be (Word) You know Big man Uneek is here, my man Master Ice, you know Ehm.. Yo Ice, won't you, you know talk a little bit about the old days from what you can remember
[ VERSE 1: Ice ] As I reminisce back growin up around my way I can't help but think about the games we used to play We used to play games that would make parents mutter Like Tag, Spider, and Hot Peas and Butter We rode our bikes through Prospect Park Did jumps over hills and came back before dark We even rode skateboards downtown and back In fact, we were scared, so razorblades we would pack Played basketball ( ? ), and we Played Chinese handball at a park called [Name] And he who lost was forced to play the wall And then got hit in the butt with the ball And after we worked up a sweat and got loose We bought a Hero and a 50 cent juice
Word yo Uneek, Uneek, remember back in the day? Yo, let's Ice finish..
[ VERSE 2: Ice ] Just think about when your moms used to dress you it hurts Church shoes and real loud shirts Feelin dumb, so yourself you redeem You buy some mocknecks and some tailor-made garbadines Remember those pants with the pockets on the side You wore with your Pumas and strutted with every stride? The winter months appeared to be ( ? ) You sported snow boots, leather bomber, then sheepskins Then when you felt the spring breeze You bought a name buckle to wear with your Lee's Campus shorts and shirts in the heat With a nylon do rag, Adidas on your feet With real thick laces (Ha!) Am I lying? Shoot Don't even front, you even had a Hawaiian suit
Haha.. Crazy, I never had a Hawaiian suit, man Yo Uneek, go 'head
[ VERSE 3: Uneek ] The nineties are here, times are going fast And it's the perfect time to reminisce about the past When I think about it, I get a pang And hear people back then talk with they slang I hear it now, it sounds corny When 'give me a pound' was 'lay some skin on me'?! People wore afros and called it their natural And if you were soft back then, it meant that you Were a sucker boy who used to irk me You never was really down, a jive-time turkey Most other kids used to joke and diss It was called a ( ? ) and it'd sound like this (That's why you got rejects) then the next guy would say (But my rejects are new and yours are old, okay?)
Word Now we sayin Big Uneek
[ VERSE 4: Uneek ] As I reminisce I'll always remember 1984, the month was September My first year of high school and every fool knows You had to dress fresh and look hype in your school clothes I had the clothes with something added A gold name plate when a few people had it Now that was trouble, cause you would get robbed On the bus goin home, by a crazy large mob They'd sneak on the back of the bus and they looked For somethin they wanted, what they found was what they took One day they found me, standin in the lane They didn't hesitate to say, "Shorty, run your chain" Before I could fight someone snatched it and jetted Everyone was a victim and I'll never forget it
Word, man them times were kinda rough, man Yo Ace, you remember times like that, man?
[ VERSE 4: Master Ace ] Yeah, I can remember like back then, son You didn't have to worry about a knife or a gun You balled up your fist like a man and fought your fight And kept your left up if your brother taught you right (Word) Back then, a fist was your best weapon So you threw up your hands instead of just steppin And if you lost, you lived to fight another day I heard a brother say now there's no other way To win a fight except to use a bullet "The trigger makes me feel bigger when I pull it" He said, I just shook my head at this And that's what made me wanna reminisce
