Hey, you know everybody's talkin' about the good ol' days, right?
Everybody, the good ol' days, the good ol' days
Well, let's talk about the good ol' days
ย
As a kid, ma hit me with the truth
Let me know Santa Claus was never on my roof
When I lost a tooth, it never went under the pillow
I gave it to my parents right there, they hit me with dough
Later on, I was the all-star pitcher
Seventh grade, my girl hit me off, the world's different now
Got a wicked curveball now
Plus confidence, that's three strikes, you're out
Junior high, had all the chicks, was on top then
Got to high school, shit wasn't poppin'
Small fish, big pond, kinda got lost in
This new matrix, started smokin' weed often
I missed the whole ninth grade, ditchin' class
Gettin' no ass, tryna get back to the past
The only thing I did do was make this music
Home Friday nights, said the time was confusin'
Things changed, I started to notice
The more work I put in, the more people focus
Was like, "Oh, shit, this my ticket"
Enemies before now tryna kick it
Pulled out my slump, imagine that
Two years, I got my swagger back
In the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make
Just a matter of time, that's a fact
On my mom's porch lookin' at the stars
Tellin' Joey Chah that's what we are
Here we go, my soul, they'll never own me
My crew roll, the top won't be lonely, no
"We worked our whole life for this"
"But now I appreciate this moment in time"
"Open up your eyes and realize that time flies by"
"Now that we got that straight, it's time to move on"
"We worked our whole life for this"
"But now I appreciate this moment in time"
"The time is now, this is the moment that you waited for"
It's time to move on, goin' for mine
I live for today, this is my moment in time
Yo, '88, Malcolm X books, Public Enemy
Rockin' plain gear, same year lost my virginity
Packin' gats, we was that active
Middle school, seventh grade, pill bottles of crack up in my jacket
'89, Got on some Q shit, closet full of Troop shit
Hangin' with eighth grade niggas that shoot shit
Back then, we was stealin' cars, give a damn if we knew you
Outside the neighborhood, it's free for all
Ninth grade, switched it up, high school, better lookin'
Known as an MC and I'm gettin' steady pussy
So don't hate the game, hate this player
Since the sixth grade, I've been friends with Shake the Mayor
Met Rasco in 1990, still grimy
Kicked out of school in the tenth, but still graduated in '95
And remember me? That kid that used to ditch school religiously
Who used to breakdance to Centipede?
Twelve years later and I'm still the same
But this time, I'm even more on top of the game
Here we go, my soul, they'll never own me
My crew roll, the top won't be lonely, no
"We worked our whole life for this"
"But now I appreciate this moment in time"
"Open up your eyes and realize that time flies by"
"Now that we got that straight, it's time to move on"
"We worked our whole life for this"
"But now I appreciate this moment in time"
"The time is now, this is the moment that you waited for"
It's time to move on, goin' for mine
I live for today, this is my moment in time
"But now I appreciate this moment in time"
"But now I appreciate this moment in time"
"This moment in time"
"This moment in time"
"This moment in time"
"This moment in time"
"But now I appreciate this moment in time"
"But now I appreciate this moment in time"
"This moment in time"
"This moment in time"
"This moment in time"
