Growin' Old
Pigeon John

[Incomprehensible]

Huh, oh, yeah, ooh

Check it


We used to roll through Inglewood bumpin' The Beasties

Dana Dane on repeat 'till the tapedeck deceased

Me, my brother Carlo, BTwice and Ern Brn

Singing 'You must learn'


Turned the same corner thousands of times

Thousands of crimes, petty but still we jetty

Thousands of rhymes in our minds until we caught a headache

Those were the days, these are the nights, I'm afraid

To say it, I hang them in my heart, save them for a rainy day


Beastie Boys, Dana Dane and JJ Fad

Oh, it kinda makes me sad

Because, oh, we growin' old

Oh, we growin' old, oh, we growin' old


Fats Boys, Beat Street and Kangol hats

Oh, it kinda makes me sad

Because oh we growin' old

Oh, we growin' old, oh, we growin' old


Way back in 1989 before hip hop had perks

The girls had 'I Love Daisies' on their shirts and it worked

With me falling in love with the whole scene with a dream

That I'd rock the stage and do the same dang thing


Ties hanging from the pants, everybody had dreadlocks

Back then, light skinned nig ruled the whole block

We rocked polka dots, gangstas wore Guess with house shoes

Without a care with nothin' to lose, come on



De La Soul, JB's and A Tribe Called Quest

Man we didn't know what we missed

Because, oh, we growin' old, oh, we growin' old

Oh, we growin' old


3rd Base, Special Ed and KRS

Years ahead all of the rest

Because, oh, we growin' old, oh we growin' old

Oh, we growin' old


The Pharcyde, Souls Of Mischief and the Wu Tang Clan

Oh, we didn't have a plan

Because oh we growin' old, oh, we growin' old

Oh, we growin' old


The Freestyle Fellowship and MC Shan

The wind blew away the sand

Because oh, we growin' old, oh, we growin' old

Oh, we growin' old


I once had the whole world

And all the time in the land

The mountains, high and the valleys, low


I never planned

That it would leak right through my hand

And I guess, it's too late to know


B boys, B girls

Be boys, be girls

Good night
