A lot of thangs change Fades and slang change Clothes and change change Back in the day bangin Slick Rick and Dana Dane Airbrush jackets, fat laces, name plates Gold has come and gone, now platinum chains hang A Dee with white tees all rockin the same thang Gazelles and finger waves to dreads and stunter shades Went from G. Rap Kane to Kanye Lil Wayne I was a shorty then, I couldnt even stay up late Still caught the bug when David Bowie sang of fame Went from Reganomics, full black in 88 To Dre and The Chronic, red and blue to gang bang Big ass computers, punch cards and mainframes Now a little microchip can do all the same thangs Its more modern now, Im tryin to maintain Its all behind me now but things still seem strange Its been a couple of years But Greenhouse is still here Had to figure out where we go from here but when I looked at the past it was crystal clear Im talkin VCRs, Betamax, VHS High buyer TDKs and grey Maxell cassettes Now its Netflix, TiVo and OnDemand The death of the daily paper, get your news on the net CDs, they bout to be gone next Its all about your cell phones and Bluetooth headsets Used to have the fliest Walkman Now my Iphone give me GPS directions while Im walkin Went from members only, Lee jeans and Izod To ?, Evisu jeans and Ipods We used to actually sit down and write letters Now its all Facebook, Myspace, Twitter Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan Kobe Bryant, King James, Tim Duncan If you livin, you gotta love it The shit you feel the most is the shit you never saw comin
