Verse One: Coolio
When I was a kid I rode crates on a
skate
And I ate everything momma put on my plate
Niggaz walked around packin B B
guns
Knock on yo' door and run just for fun
We went to the sto' and sold bottles
fo' a nickel
to feast upon a big bag of Cheetos and a pickle
You could get a soda
foe less than quarter and
people used to speak even if they didn't know ya
We
fought in the streets like little black soldiers
Shake hands, and still be friends when it
was over
We used to play tag and, hide and go seek, or
hide and go get it if we had
a few freaks, but
now thangs changed, kids ain't the same
They bang, and slang, and
blow out brains
I wish I could go back but, wishin is for suckers
Life was so simple
then
Chorus One: ?
I remember (I remember) ohhhhhhh
when we used to hang
On the porch, drinkin brew
and now they drive-by (bay-bee)
I remember (I
remember) ohhhhhhh
when we used to play
shoot-em-up, up and down
but now
they gang-bang (bay-bee)
Verse Two: Billy Boy
Well I remember yesteryear like it was
yesterday
Runnin through the streets of Onessa P-A
I take you through my childhood
step by step
Daddy always told me to maintain my rep though
Daddy was a dawg he
ain't raise no punks
In the midst of the trees we learned how to thump
At the tender
age of nine momma put us on a plane
Next stop -- the land of the insane
Compton
California where the killers grow
Forced to live a life that I didn't know
Wore the
wrong colors cause I didn't know the facts
Call her bitch, caught a case, caught a slug in
my back
But I adapted quickly, suckers tried to get me
Now the fools better run
cause this just driveby Billy
Little black boy from the East
forced to be a killer,
but I can still remember
Chorus Two: ?
I remember (I remember) ohhhhhhh
when
we used to play
Domino, on the porch
but now they drive-by (bay-bee)
I
remember (I remember) ohhhhhhh
when we used to have
Army fights, in the smog
but now they gang-bang (bay-bee)
[Coolio] Back when I was a kid nigga
We used to
have this game called paperball
(Paperball? What the fuck is that?)
Get a piece of
paper, ball that motherfucker up
and play with it! Hahahaha
Verse Three: J-Ro
I got Tha Alkaholik juice to wake ya up like a rooster
Back when I was young, I used
to be a booster
Stealin candy from the sto', go to school, come up
I had the whole
playground, chewin all my gum up
You know what I'm sayin? Playin still to the chest
And I was the best, playin kickball at recess
I play Pop Warner, golden pairs for the losers
We used to hop corners on the fresh deuce cruisers
Playin Galaga, Space Invaders,
eatin Reese's
I had all the women cause my tough skins had creases
And it's been
that way since day one
Girls of the world ain't nothin but fun
I used to watch Dr.
J, come through in the clutch
Remember New Zoo Review, and Starsky and Hutch
I
remember lunchtime, we used to rhyme out loud
Peace to the Wop and the hip-hop crowd, I
remember
Chorus One
Outro: ?
Ohhh, my life, no no
I do remember
ohhhhhhhh
I know you do
I remember yesterday
I remember when we played
I remember yesterday, aoowwwwwww!
I remember, hell, when we used to play
in
ghetto blocks through the dark
I rememmmmmberrrrrr
Yeahhh yeahhh yeahh
We
used to play dominoes all night long
dominoes all night long
Yesterday, yesterday
Do you remember yesterday? I remember yesterday
You remember remember remember
