They say that the days pass way to fast they sure have
I remember way back silly things we did for fun
Playing at construction sites we shoot each other with staple guns
Ride bikes to the corner store we'd all take a different routes
To see who'd make it first
And get to spend their loot
On products packed with sugar
This is when Sir Roc was known as Little Booger
Stevie's little brother no other brother's closer
Though I swore that he was bother
He would follow us around and do what ever we did
Even though he was a toddler and
We were supposed to be the big kids
The minute that my friends had it with him
We'd be at with them we'd be fighting on the grass
I was so mad at my friends
But fifteen minutes later that had to end
We'd say our apologies it would never happen again
Now we're laughing again
But in a day or two we're right back at it again
It's just a memory thoughts inside my head
Things we did the things we said
Do they remember me thoughts inside my head
Things we did, the things we said
It's just a memory snowflakes in my head
Things we did the things we said
Do they remember me sledding through my thoughts
Things that happened things forgot
I used to beat box pop & lock
I'd rhyme to kill time the only one on my block
That dreamed he'd one day rock
Except for Lee down the street
And I put dude in shock
There was Bobby Monaco from two blocks over
And little Mikey Jackson from across the bridge
We were the freshest kids
Me from Sandover Mike from San Miguel
Bobby from Pray Street
Everybody else would pray that'd we never have to meet
As a member of two crews I paid dues on concrete with
Cardboard on top of it me in sweat pants
Herbie Hancock's "Rock It" in
That's not all that I was offering
Often we would end these things with a rap battle
Where the silence would be deafening
If you could not find the words you and your crew
Would wind up exiting reputations tarnished
We'd be off to the next city or at least the next street
And we'd always bring the heat when it was time to compete
It's just a memory thoughts inside my head
Things we did the things we said
Do they remember me thoughts inside my head
Things we did, the things we said
It's just a memory snowflakes in my head
Things we did the things we said
Do they remember me sledding through my thoughts
Things that happened things forgot
Time passes faster than breeze
These times quickly turn to memories
I remember wishing I could date
Contemplating my mate
Mom wanted me to wait and I did true
But I was getting anxious as a little kid
Breaking died down still rhyming's fundamental
Got to dress to impress rolled my pants up like the rest
Color coordinating still I'm too short for dating
But it's cool to go roller-staking so for couple skate I wait
Mom said it was cool it's official I could do that
If knew then what I know now and could go back
I wouldn't do it but I did luckily my nineth grade honey
Became wife and know we've got three little kids
On to the tenth grade breaking's almost back in
Now housing is the craze I put away my hammer pants
And I bought some overalls I left one side unsnapped
As I roamed the halls with my head phones on
It's just a memory thoughts inside my head
Things we did the things we said
Do they remember me thoughts inside my head
Things we did, the things we said
It's just a memory snowflakes in my head
Things we did the things we said
Do they remember me sledding through my thoughts
Things that happened things forgot
High school was mostly wack
Like one big show tell
Most the stuff that people showed me
Showed me they'd go to (say what)
I missed the days of old
Couldn't wait for that last bell
I kept up with the rhyming
And I pulled some decent grades
I really didn't date
'Cause sports were on my front page
Some days I'd get to school before six am
And I wouldn't see my crib again till after eight
Homework suffered but i made up for it on tests
Girlfriends weren't feeling the lack of time that they would get
So I focused on the day that I would graduate
Reminiscing now there is a lot that I would change
Life is so strange in so many ways
The things that mattered the most then
Now seem the least important
Most of the folks I called my friends I've never seen again
Most the plans that I had
Never even happened
The one constant in my life was Christ
It's just a memory thoughts inside my head
Things we did the things we said
Do they remember me thoughts inside my head
Things we did, the things we said
It's just a memory snowflakes in my head
Things we did the things we said
Do they remember me sledding through my thoughts
Things that happened things forgot
