Discography (feat. Sophia Lauren)
What we gonna do right here is go back
Back into time
Back in the days when I was just a kid
I would dream that I was a star (Let's take a sec to think back)
Now that I'm older I wish I could go back
In time to the ways things were (Let's take a sec to think back)
I know y'all just might listen to it
But my life is defined by music
Came out my moms belly on the doctor's cue
To the beat of Sugarhill in Brookdale Hospital
1980 I could walk but could barely speak
Even in my diapers kept my ears to the street
So I'm mumbling and uttering the words I know
And it sounds like the "The Breaks" by Kurtis Blow
'81 I was potty trained to Treacherous Three
No more pee-pee on the bedding and sheets
Christmas Eve '82 I'm standing by the clock
Praying and I'm wishing Santa Clause would stop
If he don't leave me toys just leave me "Planet Rock"
'83 lucky for me, my sister like Run-D.M.C
So we listening to "Sucker MCs"
That's after she picked up and make lunch for me
Back in the days when I was just a kid
I would dream that I was a star (Let's take a sec to think back)
Now that I'm older I wish I could go back
In time to the ways things were (Let's take a sec to think back)
'84 I'm in a playground and a box of sand
And I'm humming to the tune of "Roxanne Roxanne"
'85 tried to follow my sister to the party
Getting ready with her girls singing "La Di Da Di"
'86 she's showing off. See he's learning
Not cause 1st grade or Sesame Street's Kermit
Cause lil bro could do the Pee Wee Herman
'87 doing my thang, the wop chilling
To "Do The James" and huh to "Top Billin'"
'88 we was broke, ain't no cash stressing
Had a fade like Kane cause "Ain't No Half Steppin'"
'89 in 4th grade I stayed close to the speaker
Trying to catch a dub of Slick Rick's "Mona Lisa"
1990 had a crush on Susan and Sabrina
Around the way girls with applebums like Bonita
A meany, meany, meany, me-mean
Back in the days when I was just a kid
I would dream that I was a star (star, star, star)
Now that I'm older I wish I could go back
In time to the ways things were
I remember how things used to be
(Let's take a sec to think back) It's for the kids y'all
I remember how things used to be
(Let's take a sec to think back) It's for the kids y'all
'91 I was shy, no girls noticed me
But I'm fronting hard like I'm down with O.P.P
'92 it was "bum stiggedy bum" huh
Tried to rhyme like them guys
Punks jump up, now I'm a tough guy
Nine three I was gassed, swore I was so gully
High school, cookie boots, Polo rugby
Nine four moms beefing-4 AM
On a school night but Martin Moore and Mayhem
Bobbito & Stretch I'm trying to tape them
New Nas, Wu-Tang, and Biggie, it made sense
Nine five, poppin' but much of the same
Nine six Can't front life suddenly changed
Mom dies and it's killing me softly
I can hear music but I'm a little bit off key
Nine seven graduated and I'm Supa Dupa Fly
Felt like deja vu and I scooped a cutie pie
Let's take a sec to think back
Back into time
I remember way back in the days
I remember how things used to be
I remember how things used to be
Back into time
Back in the days when I was just a kid
I would dream that I was a star (Let's take a sec to think back)
Now that I'm older I wish I could go back
