Chorus (Scratch)

1st Verse:
Let me take it back in a timeline
Defined in crime parallel with rhyme and fashion
86
Brooklyn was the residential
Talk slick that trip could be detrimental
Crack pumping on the block was an epidemic
Pack nothing but the ox in your choice of linen
Back blocks
Flat tops
Busy trying to cop a thurst burst just to get a skelly top
Shooting skelly all day front of 120
110 Chauncey get it in
Mad young wildin’ guzzling a Cisco
Ripping up the whole block in the zip code
One One Two Three Three
Jackie Rob projects in effect G
Salute to all them people repping Lo Life
Rocking mad fronts and you know they Lo right
Boosting up on 34th killing Macy’s
Coming back with a sack packed crazy
Salute to all them people repping Decept
Transforming on your crew catching nuff wreck
Boys & Girls High always kept the block live
Chicks running through my building looking mad fly
These are the days that defined me in many ways
More than them days that I stayed in a different place

Chorus (Scratch)

2nd Verse:
Discussing all the fashion back in 86
Let me run it down starting with the dope kicks
Fila
Saucony and some Lotto’s
Chuck All-Star mad color combos
Magic Bird weapons if you could afford them
G’ing mad hard if you had Diadora’s
Polo skips that were similar to Stan Smith’s
Red, White & Blue Americana stay dip
Benetton hat with the matching backpack
Osh Kosh BeGosh rocking with a train hat
Gerry G, Sheepskin or a Lo Goose
Move smart or you coming off a coat duke!
And the music that converted me to Hip-Hop
It’s only right that I certify and give props
Biz is Goin Off always set it off proper
Make the Music was a certified party rocker
Top Billin’ was the anthem of the whole city
Had my whole block rocking in the cold silly
Juice crew, BDP had the city buzzing
Bridge wars made some classics that be still crushing
Whistle and the snares had us going crazy!
We was wopping mad hard to My Melody
Eric B is President on the other side
Memories of a time that was so fly

Chorus (Scratch) 2x
