1981 A king was born
I first stepped in this world
My momma glad she had a sonAlready had a few girls
Remember eating Apple Jacks with your favorite spoon
In the living room watching Saturday cartoons
Remember Thundercats, He-Man, and yelling Yo Joe
Transformers, Ninja Turtles I can keep listing more
Remember riding BMXs from the time you got home
But you better be inside before the street lights came on
Remember
I′m an 80's apprentice
A generation X type menace
Use to knock and kick at people doors
Then run off giggling
Mathematics being learned back on Sesame Street
Take a look in a book
It′s Reading Rainbow to me
Chubby kid just wanted friends
Playing Nintendo Mario Kart
And boy we getting it in
Running through sprinkler systems
On that Slip N Slide again
It's only 9
Best to be catching wind going in
I'm an 80′s Baby
Back in the day when I was young
I′m not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
As I go back in time in my mind
I wish I was a kid again
Back in the day when I was young
I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
As I go back in time in my mind
I wish I was a kid again
I fell in love with the pad
Wrote my first scripture in the back of a cab
Swore right then and there I′d never go with the fad
Keep it 100 and the margins attached
Southern diction speakin with no fictions of past
And if these walls could talk
Of adventures of past
Growing up from lad
With the beat in the back
And the heat in your lap
Wish that I could go back
1990 Pretty cloudy yeah the champion was born
Momma told later on just to weather the storm
I was good as young'n went cray later on
Big dippin when you young finding out you ain′t grown
Smoke weed now you stressed
Someone pick up the phone
Money short out of pocket
Make me say fuck a wallet
Got a dollar for shit a Whatchamacallit
Meet me in the back so
I can knock your eye out the socket
Funny how time flies
I remember December
I remember the streets
That year had the coldest of winters
We had no business in it
Dressed up in coats to defend us
Standing the warmth of a friendly smile
Innocent child
No longer innocent
No Sega Genesis No Nintendo
Lost our control then lost all control when we got our heart broke
Then we use to play Sonic
Now we sip Gin and Tonic
To quiet the chronic pain
This is not a game
Wish I could go back
Back in the day when I was young
I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
As I go back in time in my mind
I wish I was a kid again
Back in the day when I was young
I′m not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
As I go back in time in my mind
I wish I was a kid again
Back then
Me and Foochi wrote comic books with Jack
I remember when Darius dared me to rap
On that first NES
Playing NBA Jam
I use to play with Air Dog as a Sacramento fan
Remember the old P's
Swantown Heights Gateway
Nights on the green box
Playing ball everyday
They done torn the hood down
Now shoutout to Decatur
I done been around the streets
But my heart is Glenhaven
In my hood I had no choice but to grow up fast
Earned my stripes in the streets
With a gun and a mask
No brakes just gas on the way to this cash
Still no regrets as I reflect on my past
I remember when this Mystyc click
Was all that I had
So I grind for all my partners
Still chasing the bag
I remember when this Mystyc click
Was all that I had
So I grind for all my partners
Still chasing the bag
Back in the day when I was young
I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
As I go back in time in my mind
I wish I was a kid again
Back in the day when I was young
I′m not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
As I go back in time in my mind
I wish I was a kid again
