Remember That
(专辑: The 18th Letter - 1997)
Remember that? Turn the
beat up, I
get lost in the
mind come across the
rhyme kick my feet up, then I
find myself in time I
was on a
train, destination Marley Marl's domain I
entertained things'll never be the
same DJ's are conveyed if the
label OK it Teddy Ted and Special K
was the
first ones to play it On the
radio, with the
crazy flow I
pay dues until it pays me dough to do a
show When I'm at the
helm I
cover the
whole realm In control and leave your soul overwhelmed Another influence of beats and instruments Lyrics make it intricate and elements are tense When you was playin Pac Man it was the
jams I
packed Peeps would swarm when I
was perform in, black I'm all that Back before they turned hip-hop to rap It always a
place to party at, remember that? I
remember the
spots that used to be hot Just like the
roof top, a
place that only few can rock on a
wild ass block, yeah you find me there a
lot Until you hear gunshots, that's when the
fun stops Here come the
cops, time to go home, get in order Cause I'll be back in Manhattan if somethings happenin at the
Latin Quarter House of havoc when it came to fourteen carat And if you had it yeah kids'd try to grab it It's cool at the
Red Parrot we was doin it there I
was the
first one to rip it at the
Union Square Me and DJ Red Alert did work A
crazy concert, a
lot of kids got hurt I
did encores at the
Encore, they wanted more I
kicked a
freestyle til I
heard the
crowd roar Like the
Funhouse, Bronx Center never endin black Place to be was the
Brooklyn Armory, remember that? Remember that? [x3] Open the
door, let the
crowds in, over twenty thousand Wildin music's loud and microphone's growlin Tickets are sold out, parties is packed and on tour rippin basketball arenas back then Even afterparties, posses of players and hotties Everybody was Gotti, spreadin bucks like shotties Spendin cash, to make a
good time last Thoughts that I
had give me a
blast of the
past Memories of unforgettable times on my mind Dollar signs and melodies and incredible rhymes The
people I
met, and the
sets that got wrecked All the
mics I
checked, most of all life's effects And peace to all the
people I
grew up around in the
streets back when beats had a
rougher sound I
used to be wild me and my crew sit back and we smile Keep piles of pictures filed in case I
go senile Cause some things are just too good to be forgot Like your neighborhood block or your favorite spot Certain records always seem to make me reminisce And when it hits, and then it clicks, remember this My life flashed before me I'm there from the
sounds I
hear pinpoint the
year, it's perfectly clear I
like the
way it went down and alla that, in fact It mean a
lot, cause you can't bring it back, remember that Remember that? [x3]
