Lyrics:
Chapter 1, reminisce, Back to the days that molded me
I was just a little kid at a tumble bee
I met this girl with a big kaboosy
she told me that her name was lollipop lucy
she was 8 and I was 6
I always had a thing for them older chicks
a pink rabbit's foot held round her belt loop
green leg warmers and a hoola hoop
I liked Duran in the parachute pants
she liked the way George Michael danced
I said "hey baby would you like to date?"
she said "I'm down, can you roller skate?"
cause skateland was the place to be for a hokie pokie or a birthday party
where limbo and the fuzzy dice were free
I've got my friends pac man and a hot grilled cheese
I tip toed to the DJ booth he said "yo kid tell me what's your groove"
You know what I want, I don't couple skate, I said "new shoes baby, I can't wait"
Why you got to play around, get your feet back on the ground
getting up to get on down, down, down
it's so much easier to fly with your head up in the sky
shake it up and turn around, round, round
sweet as homemade apple pie
making shit up on the fly
close your eyes and dig my sound, sound, sound
Chapter 2 , growing pains
back to the days that inspire me
my mom and my pops, my brothers and me
when videos played on my MTV and Tom Cruise was pre-scientology
grew up in a full house, it was always messy
too many DJ's and no uncle Jesse
big and small kids, they tried to test me
every day we balled and every night spaghetti
I skipped school to study the tube
educated by smurfs and thundercats, who knew?
the facts of life, yeah it was all about you
tuti , nat , joe , blair and mrs. garrett too
yes, I used to be a juvenile but I'm a nature boy know, I style and profile
labeled more times than a memorex but I've got more skills than a double cassette deck
I've come to take it back to the days of no filler
case in point: Rio and Thriller
Pepsi and MJ went up in a blaze
1980's baby them were the days
Why you got to play around, get your feet back on the ground
getting up to get on down, down, down
it's so much easier to fly with your head up in the sky
shake it up and turn around, round, round
sweet as homemade apple pie
making shit up on the fly
close your eyes and dig my sound, sound, sound
Chapter 3 , the celebration
ABC to YAZ money meant nothing everything was free
the school bell rang at the stroke of 3
rode the big cheese home to some TLC
a moon pie for you, a star crunch for me
when it comes to thirst I like my sun capried
put some G.I. Joe on the tele please
it didn't take much to make us all happy
these are the memories that I like best
this is the time to re-insvest
make this world a better place
we've gotta make a move in time for us to get on...back
I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going gone..
