Coolio

Coolio - I Remember songtekst

Je score:

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 remember
