I Remeber
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

I remember, oh, When we used to hang

(I remember)

On the porch, drinkin' brew and now they drive-by

(Bay-bee)

I remember, oh, when we used to play

(I remember)

Shoot-em-up, up and down

But now they gang-bang

(Bay-bee)

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 drive by Billy

Little black boy from the East

Forced to be a killer but I can still remember

I remember, oh, when we used to play

(I remember)

Domino, on the porch but now they drive-by

(Bay-bee)

I remember, oh, when we used to have

(I remember)

Army fights, in the smog but now they gang-bang

(Bay-bee)

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, ha, ha, ha, ha

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

I remember, oh, When we used to hang

(I remember)

On the porch, drinkin' brew and now they drive-by

(Bay-bee)

I remember, oh, when we used to play

(I remember)

Shoot-em-up, up and down

But now they gang-bang

(Bay-bee)

Oh, my life, no, no, I do remember, oh

I know you do, I remember yesterday

I remember when we played

I remember yesterday, aow

I remember Hell, when we used to play

In ghetto blocks through the dark

I remember, yeah, yeah, yeah

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
