Throw Back
(专辑: Weekend Warrior - 2003)
[Verse 1] I'd like to tell a
story and it goes like this Before I
was makin money hand over fist The
mid-80's is what I'm talkin about You will agree without a
reasonable doubt As I
tell this tale, sittin on a
pail This is one you'll like when it's done Only certain people know about Union Square The
Rooftop, Latin Quarter, cause I
was there Red Alert downtown, Brucie Bee uptown Grandmaster Vic had a
different sound You had block parties, with free gifts Mr. Magic and Marley gave radio a
lift You don't understand, but we do That's why I'm tryin to explain it to you So sit back and listen, to what I
say As I
tell the
story of this beautiful day [Chorus: sampled] "We'll go dancing in the
dark" HEY! "Walking through the
park, and reminiscing" BREAK IT ON DOWN! [Verse 2] Before Versace and DKNY There was a
lot of clothes that was fly Like Polo, Benetton, Coca-Cola and Osh Kosh Guess jeans and others that's acid washed D.C. wore K-Swiss and Sergio [?]Vertini Girls wore tennis skirts, that was mini Spot[?], Ewings, [?] New Balance, Fila, Nike and Elites African clothes and medallions was worn And when Rakim came out, knowledge was born In the
midst of it all, I
almost forgot There was a
brother uptown makin his own spot Makin Gucci, leather and suede tailor made That had more flavor than mom's Kool-Aid I'm gonna tell you, the
name of this man He goes by the
name of the
Dapper Dan [Chorus] [Verse 3] See at this time, you might think I'm strange Cause I
wore a
four-finger ring, and big gold chains Like I
was Mr. T
from the
A-Team It was just a
sign of me makin cream But the
cars and jeeps was incred-a Like the
Audi, 280 Z's, 98's and Jettas Cherokees, Wranglers, Suzuki Sidekicks L.A. and West coast cars was doin tricks Now the
dances was crazy to match Like the
Pee Wee, The
Wop and the
Cabbage Patch The
Prep, The
Snake, and "The Biz Mark, Biz Mark" The
way the
Gucci Girls gave shows a
spark Now listen, to what I
got to say-ah Reagan was Pres', and Koch was the
Mayor You can't beat that with a
baseball bat And you'd never see me without my Biz Mark hat [Chorus x4: w/ ad libs]
