Okay I remember the days

High Rights Low Lefts Even Stevens and Fades

Troops Lotto and BK's those was the days

High tech boots spray painted wit'cha name

T-shirts airbrushed that read the same

Thick Herring Bone's chain

One gold wit your initial

Harris photos group shots can you remember

Barry him told his b***h go to the prom and die

Didnt lie shot his-self in the head with the 4-5

When she disobeyed had North Clayton craze

Just to reiterate dog those was the days

'Fore da invasions of hatas man crews from all around

Use to get down at True Flavas bumpin Kilo

Walkin' damage cross colored and Paco

While playboy step through talent shows

Prom nights tux and kangol was so cool

F**k them new model cars we ridin' old school (old school)

We were tryin so hard

Hard to survive

Cause even though we were young

We had to stay strong

No matter what we went through

It was me and my crew

And thats how it went

When we were kids

In 3 months we stayed in Jamestown

Hamwood and Diplomats

Played with Transformers G I Joe's and Thundercats

We was lovin' that

Before they started jackin jacks

'Fore notes from Red Oaks had folks scared to come through

College Park after dark

Crown Victoria's police unmarked cars

Be aware Wayne Williams was out there

But we ain't care kids was gettin' stabbed and ditched out there

To busy playin'

Double Dare

You touch shorty on the a** that's a bet

Want ya Kool-Aid and sugar smack ya hands and say sweat

It's mine now place it in my Louis Vitton pouch

Thump a ni**a on his knuckles make him say ouch

Slouch socks box Chevy Caprice

Hot knees cut da holes Disturbing Tha Peace

Wit no conscience broke niggas call em nonsense

No comments this lil' Fate payin' homage to College Park

We were tryin so hard

Hard to survive

Cause even though we were young

We had to stay strong

No matter what we went through

It was me and my crew

And thats how it went

When we were kids

I had a Long John but no Silver

No gold or plat

I was simply red from the years I been holdin' back

With 2 sides to a book I lick stamps and light matches

And set fires in garbage pails and cabbage patches

A child of the corn been wild since I was born

Climbin' over barb wire clothes got torn

Shoes got muddy and my click turned cruddy

Wherever I go they went they my buddys

I brush teef brush naps and cold streets

Dreamin' of Cadillacs wood wheels and plush seats

Cats with gold teeth and raps with such beats

Macks with no grief and some sacks of green leaf

When I loaded my cap gun I was ready for action

Starin' at beer cans and the moment to crack one

Wanna hang with the big boys and play with the big toys

And be with all the people makin all that goddamn noise

We were tryin so hard

Hard to survive

Cause even though we were young

We had to stay strong

No matter what we went through

It was me and my crew

And thats how we win

When we were kids
