Remember That

Lyrics

[Intro] Remember that? Turn the beat up [Verse 1] I get lost in the mind, come across the rhyme Kick my feet up, then I find myself in time I was on a train, destination Marley Marl's domain I entertain, things'll never be the same DJs will convey it if the label okay it Teddy Ted and Special K was the first ones to play it On the radio with the crazy flow I pay dues until it pays me dough to do a show When I'm at the helm, I cover the whole realm In control and leave your soul overwhelmed Under the influence of beats and instruments Lyrics make it intricate and elements are tense When you was playin' Pac-Man, it was the jams I packed Peeps would swarm when I was performin', Black, I'm all that Back before they turned hip-hop to rap It always a place to party at, remember that? [Chorus] I can remember (Think about it) I can remember (Think about it) [Verse 2] I remember the spots that used to be hot Just like the rooftop, a place that only few can rock On a wild-ass block, yeah, you'd find me there a lot Until you hear gunshots, that's when the fun stops Here come the cops, time to go home, get in order 'Cause I'll be back in Manhattan if something's happenin' at the Latin Quarter House of havoc when it came to fourteen carat And if you had it, yeah, kids'd try to grab it It's cool at the Red Parrot, we was doin' it there I was the first one to rip it at the Union Square Me and DJ Red Alert did work A crazy concert, a lot of kids got hurt I did encores at the Encore, they wanted more I kicked a freestyle 'til I heard the crowd roar Like the Funhouse, Bronx Center, never endin', Black Place to be was the Brooklyn Armory, remember that? [Chorus] I can remember (Remember that? Think about it) I can remember (Remember that? Think about it) I can remember (Remember that? Think about it) I can remember [Verse 3] Open the door, let the crowds in, over twenty thousand Wildin', music's loud and microphone's growlin' Tickets are sold out, parties is packed and On tour, rippin' basketball arenas back then Even afterparties, posses of players and hotties Everybody was Gotti, spreadin' bucks like shotties Spendin' cash, to make a good time last Thoughts that I had give me a blast of the past Memories of unforgettable times on my mind Dollar signs and melodies and incredible rhymes The people I met and the sets that got wrecked All the mics I checked, most of all life's effects And peace to all the people I grew up around In the streets, back when beats had a rougher sound I used to be wild, me and my crew sit back and we smile Keep piles of pictures filed in case I go senile 'Cause some things are just too good to be forgot Like your neighborhood block or your favorite spot Certain records always seem to make me reminisce And when it hits, and then it clicks, remember this? My life flash before me, I'm there from the sounds I hear Pinpoint the year, it's perfectly clear I like the way it went down and all of that In fact, it mean a lot 'cause you can't bring it back, remember that [Chorus] I can remember (Remember that? Think about it) I can remember (Remember that? Think about it) I can remember (Remember that? Think about it) I can remember (Remember that? Think about it) [Outro] Think about it I can remember (Remember that? Think about it) I can remember (Remember that? Think about it) I can remember I can remember
