Yeah, back then didn't need the buzz Russian Alex had Reebok Pumps Big Gazz had Nike T-Dubs. Everybody wanted nice sneakers I saved up for a pair of Jordans And spent all day dubbing tapes for Walkman's Who remembers Ice-T was king? Flat tops were in, Swatch's were bling I couldn't comprehend my sisters intrepidy Mohawks, cherry-dogs, dead Kennedy's Pegz memories are bonified But perceptions change overtime Yeah I still love cars and motorbikes Gimme coconut sauce and a bowl of rice Keep my soul alive Control the mics Bruce Lee versus Poltergeist [Chorus] Back then wasn't easy, back then things worked out Back then I wish you were now Back then wasn't easy, back then things worked out Back then I wish you were now Ducking transit cops and gumby's, Menzies Av. was a real Jamanji Letras de cancionesWindsor flats- Saint Kilda junkies Steal your money- Like which bank? Girls didn't seem so superficial Levi jeans and a blue light disco Let's go back when baseball caps meant- Racking cans, police harassment Style wars street assassin Collectors porn I feed the passion Bootlegs from Central Station KRSone's Revelation Knowledge and self preservation Fuck Racism and President Reagan Remember days when- I first tried rapping cabs were black/white "can't get enough" [Chorus] Back then wasn't easy, back then things worked out Back then I wish you were now Back then wasn't easy, back then things worked out Back then I wish you were now Everyone had humble intentions DJ Koopz had a couple of lessons Belcrives double cassette decks Tandy mics with the budget connections Back then I scrubbed floors and packed shelves And left school to get away and hang out Phone boxes, pinball parlors Showing off like an ignor-ar-mus Whole crew had a crush on Tiffany And got played like a Mozart symphony Bronx infamy, Compton attitude Flannelette shirts and Adidas pair of shoes Bomber jackets, Turtle Ray-bans New Balance, purple stained hands Little Ben got burnt by spray cans And I still hear reverberations [Final Chorus] Back then didn't need the buzz Back then hadn't seen enough Back then I was dreaming of- B-girls in the classroom steaming hot Homeboys at the station being hard Beatbox on the train MC in the park Getting chased by cops, piss in the yards Back then I learnt the meaning of art Back then wasn't easy, back then things worked out Back then I wish you were now Back then wasn't easy, back then things worked out Back then I wish you were now (Thanks to Max for these lyrics) From Letras Mania
