I Remember When Lyrics

[Bloodshed]
I remember when a fist was the only thing that you packed
Nowadays all my n***** is strapped
Back in the 80s, n***** didn't used to think like that
Growing up in Harlem, where n***** is known to start problems
Mad n***** displayed tumors, most n***** was afraid
But I kept a blade in the suede Pumas
Three o'clock is when the bell rang, and outside was courtyard fights
Fronts was flying, n***** caught hard rights
And everyday inside the gym class, n***** got extorted for kicks
I ain't lying y'all remember that s***
And if you caught me in the whole way, it wasn't there to talk friend
Just hand over the walkman and just keep on walking
The train was full of Decepts, they rolled deep in Nautica clothes
Stomping n***** out with 40 belows
Ox or box cutter, yo whatever one that they choose
I supposed they was shiesty, they would store in they coats
I remember getting frisked yo, and getting dissed though
I remember getting blitz yo while drinking Cisco
And I remember the first time, I smoked with my Ace Boon c***
Who would've known it would be laced boom toom
You have a n**** rekindling, word up I think the s*** was better then
Way back Wu, cause I remember when
[Chorus: Alan Jackson sample]
"I remember when" (Yeah I remember way back when) *different variations*

[Cam'Ron]
Before I rode the four train or knew about the dope game
With cocaine, watched Soul Train, gold caps and rope chains
No misbehaviors, played ball, sweat was my fragrence
Blood came running out the crowd on the flagrants
There was no Hilfigers, and brothers who talked about the steal trigers
Was "Mobstyle", Harlem, REAL n*****
Steelo, kilo, album cover fishscales
Dice before cee-lo, drugs, guns and c-notes
They made mathematics, static they was the baddest
Hustlers, from the 80s, know the f****** status
Plus they packed the pretty chrome, like they had the city sewn
AZ, Whimp Whop, Gangsta Luke, Pretty Tone
And Alpo ordered guys to slaughter guys
And the whole Harlem was in tears when Rich Porter died
Wasn't no b**my crew, had money true, packed dummies boo
Had n***** scared to death to even walk passed 1-3-2
And n***** jocked hardly, investments stopped smartly
And be careful when they came to any block party
It seem like they robbed banks with clips
And n***** lost it when they heard 'Kick that Gangsta s***'
It was 40s, not bubbles, uptown money was lovely
n***** knew about the good, bad and ugly
And the s*** that y'all taunted, they would hit and say
"While y'all dye your hair?" f*** trying to do the +Kid, we Play+
