[Boot Camp Clik, Sean Price, Smif-N-Wessun, Buckshot - Think Back lyrics]
(Let's take a sec to think back) Buckshot
Beatminerz in effect
Ain't nothin ever lost between us evil Dee
Nahmean (Let's take a sec to think back)
Boot Camp Clik it's a framalama thing
(Let's take a sec to think back)
It went like this
(Think back, think back, think back)
As we go back
1981, the first year rap begun
The first time I saw a backwards spun
I was in my living room practicing
Watching the tube, Facts of Life
Different Strokes in the afternoon
Scarface looked mean in the flicks
Everybody who pumped coke back then
Was fiendin' for bricks
'86, no fades, afro tops
In those days your whole ave was the spot
The scene locked with Lee patches
Cazel glasses
Suede Pumas and rumors of rap not lastin
Till the class of '89 came through
High top fade, tailor made Gucci suit's
Jordan was champ, Mike Tyson was amped
Reagan was the pres and the border
Was a place to camp
Just think back like this
As you reminisce, reminisce
(Think back now)
When Erving said he had the monster
Baddest bitch in skin flicks
Was Heather Hunter (Think back now)
Rosie Perez titties def Comedy Jam
The Itty Bitty Titty Committee
(Think back now) when Martin was on
Jazzy Jeff
Fresh Prince "Summertime" was the song
(Think back now) buffalo was the spot
Snitches got stitches and you got
Jumped 'stead of gettin' shot
Zone with me come home with me
Come home with me
Picture in your mind, a place and a time
Where we all can go
Don't need dough to shine
All you gotta do is, be true to who you is
I'm original and God is my influence
Hip-hop, be bop, jazz, rock music
Palladium and Roof Top, Latin Quarters boomin
We keep it movin to the beats
Tune in to the streets
The rumors and the passengers preach
Rap I master so I teach each I touch
Respect the power of the
Microphone in my clutch
Say ma, your little boy's all grown up
Hey y'all, I told you all we got is us
I love pops
He raised me on some good old soul
Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield and Nina Simone
"Songs in the Key of Life" to hold
When the streets get cold
Always focused when I'm reachin for goals
That's PNC right behind me
Let no man take us under, bee
And no bitch for that matter, ya heard me?
(Let's take a sec to think back)
This is for my 18 and under, 20 and over
Walkin round with the weight of
They clothing on they shoulders
Look at me, 26 year old, years enfold
Driving something boss ‘bout a year old
Did the gold, stepped my game up to grade
Rosary throwback, exclusives and haze
Seen hoes and dough come and go
Rememberin the reign of crack
And power of dope
Witnessed miracles of babies bein' born
Niggas bein' killed
Niggas gettin' killed, babies born again
Showed your block love
Tekno Marine Breitling
The class of Lockman, new Jacob thing
Benz, 4, 5, 6
Truck, Navigator, Escalade, bitches want dick
Took it from the end of '89 through '99
I'm the nigga 2000 and beyond
Meadowlark Lemon wood-sevens on the god neck
They the ghetto park reverends (peace god)
Lee patches got snatched
D's in the hatchback
With ease, nigga, pass that
Bennetton bag Diadoras
Niggas like, "Son, you fly" Yo
I can afford it
Decept niggas, in the party we tangle
With anybody, jump on the train
Punch Guardian Angels
Don't believe, we put a stack on it
Cops like, "You can drink, put a bag on it"
Back in the days
(Think back now) what's today's mathematics?
Saturday Night Specials, now it's automatics
(Think back now) when crack appeared
VCR's got stole, shorty asses disappeared
(Think back now)
IZOD, La Tigra, 8 ball coats
My man Earl Manigault (Think back now)
Karate flicks, Gucci kicks
Favorite team the New York Knicks
Think back now
Dem ah see how rapidly things change
Into the passage of time yah think back now
He, style we don't borrow, we no lend
Go tell dem we ah set trend, yah
Yo dem just can't comprehend, yah
Yo, reset even though the times keep changin
Word is bond yo yo yo son
Remember goin' Uptown, 125, youknowmsayin
In front of the Apollo and shit
Standin' there
Went to take flicks and all that
Think back now
