Mic check 1, 2 Cause Imma 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 Ive seen they be going on TV screens And through the eyes of a knucklehead whos 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 fucking levy head But I never forgot my headphones or cassette 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 class All my homework penning down lines 2Pac who? My idol was Busta Rhymes But Ive 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 cant hang on to the past [Verse 2] Time flies like a condor But we dont recognise from the back of that contour From the [?] of video tapes All the memories weve lost and dreams we take its 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 Id 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 cant hang on to the past
