verse one coolio
When i was a kid i rode crates on a skate
And i ate everything momma put on my plate
Niggaz walked around packin b b guns
Knock on yo door and run just for fun
We went to the sto and sold bottles fo a nickel
To feast upon a big bag of cheetos and a pickle
You could get a soda foe less than quarter and
People used to speak even if they didnt know ya
We fought in the streets like little black soldiers
Shake hands
And still be friends when it was over
We used to play tag and
Hide and go seek
Or
Hide and go get it if we had a few freaks
But
Now thangs changed
Kids aint the same
They bang
And slang
And blow out brains
I wish i could go back but
Wishin is for suckers
Life was so simple then
Chorus one ?
I remember i remember ohhhhhhh
When we used to hang
On the porch
Drinkin brew
And now they drive-by bay-bee
I remember i remember ohhhhhhh
When we used to play
Shoot-em-up
Up and down
But now they gang-bang bay-bee
Verse two billy boy
Well i remember yesteryear like it was yesterday
Runnin through the streets of onessa p-a
I take you through my childhood step by step
Daddy always told me to maintain my rep though
Daddy was a dawg he aint raise no punks
In the midst of the trees we learned how to thump
At the tender age of nine momma put us on a plane
Next stop -the land of the insane
Compton california where the killers grow
forced to live a life that i didnt know
Wore the wrong colors cause i didnt know the facts
Call her bitch
Caught a case
Caught a slug in my back
But i adapted quickly
Suckers tried to get me
Now the fools better run cause this just driveby billy
Little black boy from the east
forced to be a killer
But i can still remember
Chorus two ?
I remember i remember ohhhhhhh
When we used to play
Domino
On the porch
But now they drive-by bay-bee
I remember i remember ohhhhhhh
When we used to have
Army fights
in the smog
But now they gang-bang bay-bee
Coolio back when i was a kid nigga
We used to have this game called paperball
Paperball? what the fuck is that?
Get a piece of paper
Ball that motherfucker up
And play with it! hahahaha
Verse three j-ro
I got tha alkaholik juice to wake ya up like a rooster
Back when i was young
I used to be a booster
Stealin candy from the sto
Go to school
Come up
I had the whole playground
Chewin all my gum up
You know what im sayin? playin still to the chest
And i was the best
Playin kickball at recess
I play pop warner
Golden pairs for the losers
We used to hop corners on the fresh deuce cruisers
Playin galaga
Space invaders
Eatin reeses
I had all the women cause my tough skins had creases
And its been that way since day one
Girls of the world aint nothin but fun
I used to watch dr j
Come through in the clutch
Remember new zoo review
And starsky and hutch
I remember lunchtime
We used to rhyme out loud
Peace to the wop and the hip-hop crowd
I remember
Chorus one
Outro ?
Ohhh
My life
No no
I do remember ohhhhhhhh
I know you do
I remember yesterday
I remember when we played
I remember yesterday
Aoowwwwwww!
I remember
Hell
When we used to play
in ghetto blocks through the dark
I rememmmmmberrrrrr
Yeahhh yeahhh yeahh
We used to play dominoes all night long
Dominoes all night long
Yesterday
Yesterday
Do you remember yesterday? i remember yesterday
You remember remember remember remember
