I Remember - Coolio[00:00:01]
When I was a kid[00:00:11]
I rode crates on a skate[00:00:12]
And I ate everything[00:00:13]
Momma put on my plate[00:00:14]
Niggaz walked around packin b-b guns[00:00:16]
Knock on yo' door[00:00:19]
And run just for fun[00:00:20]
We went to the sto'[00:00:21]
And sold bottles fo' a nickel[00:00:22]
To feast upon a big bag[00:00:24]
Of cheetos and a pickle[00:00:25]
You could get a soda foe[00:00:26]
Less than quarter and[00:00:28]
People used to speak[00:00:29]
Even If they didn't know ya[00:00:30]
We fought in the streets[00:00:32]
Like little black soldiers[00:00:33]
Shake hands [00:00:34]
And still be friends[00:00:35]
When it was over[00:00:36]
We used to play tag and [00:00:37]
Hide and go seek or[00:00:38]
Hide and go get it[00:00:40]
If we had a few freaks but[00:00:41]
Now thangs changed [00:00:43]
Kids ain't the same[00:00:44]
They bang and slang [00:00:45]
And blow out brains[00:00:47]
I wish I could go back but [00:00:48]
Wishin is for suckers[00:00:49]
Life was so simple then[00:00:51]
I remember (I remember) ohhhhhhh[00:00:53]
When we used to hang[00:00:57]
On the porch drinkin brew[00:00:59]
And now they drive-by (bay-bee)[00:01:01]
I remember (I remember) ohhhhhhh[00:01:04]
When we used to play[00:01:08]
Shoot-em-up up and down[00:01:09]
But now they gang-bang (bay-bee)[00:01:12]
Well I remember[00:01:15]
Yesteryear like it was yesterday[00:01:15]
Runnin through[00:01:18]
The streets of onessa p-a[00:01:18]
I take you through[00:01:20]
My childhood step by step[00:01:21]
Daddy always told me[00:01:23]
To maintain my rep though[00:01:24]
Daddy was a dawg he ain't raise no punks[00:01:26]
In the midst of the trees[00:01:28]
We learned how to thump[00:01:29]
At the tender age of nine momma[00:01:31]
Put us on a plane[00:01:32]
Next stop[00:01:34]
The land of the insane[00:01:35]
Compton california[00:01:37]
Where the killers grow[00:01:37]
Forced to live a life[00:01:39]
That I didn't know[00:01:40]
Wore the wrong colors[00:01:42]
Cause I didn't know the facts[00:01:43]
Call her bitch caught a case [00:01:44]
Caught a slug in my back[00:01:45]
But I adapted quickly [00:01:47]
Suckers tried to get me[00:01:48]
Now the fools better run[00:01:50]
Cause this just driveby billy[00:01:51]
Little black boy from the east[00:01:52]
Forced to be a killer [00:01:55]
But I can still remember[00:01:56]
I remember (I remember) ohhhhhhh[00:01:58]
When we used to play[00:02:01]
Domino Domino on the porch[00:02:03]
But now they drive-by (bay-bee)[00:02:06]
I remember (I remember) ohhhhhhh[00:02:09]
When we used to have[00:02:12]
Army fights in the smog[00:02:14]
But now they gang-bang (bay-bee)[00:02:16]
Back when I was a kid nigga[00:02:20]
We used to have this game called paperball[00:02:21]

To wake ya up like a rooster[00:02:31]
Back when I was young [00:02:33]
I used to be a booster[00:02:34]
Stealin candy from the sto' [00:02:35]
Go to school come up[00:02:37]

Playin kickball at recess[00:02:44]

Golden pairs for the losers[00:02:47]
We used to hop corners[00:02:49]
On the fresh deuce cruisers[00:02:50]
Playin galaga space invaders eatin reese's[00:02:51]
I had all the women[00:02:54]
Cause my tough skins had creases[00:02:55]
And it's been that way since day one[00:02:57]
Girls of the world ain't nothin but fun[00:03:00]
I used to watch dr j [00:03:02]
Come through in the clutch[00:03:03]
Remember new zoo review [00:03:04]

We used to rhyme out loud[00:03:09]
Peace to the wop[00:03:10]
And the hip-hop crowd[00:03:11]
