Yo yo yo

I grew up in the 1980's
3
In a four bedroom house
4
My family, my grandma,
5
Three or four aunties
6
Uncles and brothers
7
In and out of prison daily
8
At certain times when there was no heat
9
We stay under covers
10
There was life like u never seen
11
Grandma taking extra people in
12
Come dinner time it was tippin' 18
13
Boil a big pot of water on the stove to take a bath
14
Rub my face with olive oil
15
All my mates used to laugh
16
All my cousin's moved out
17
We all got divided
18
As i started to get older I seen God providing
19
I've seen 50 pound last 3 months solid
20
I got my first pair of Nikes we were still eating porridge
21
Me and my cousin used to play Mel and Kim
22
Practising dancin'
23
Coming down the stairs and ting
24
I touched Africa and came back darker
25
Knowing myself
26
Feeling my roots a little bit harder
27
1980 Year that God made me
28
89 I started to get by
29
99 I started to write rhymes
30
Walk with me reminisce my life
31
So then we moved up
32
1980 Year that God made me
33
89 I started to get by
34
99 I started to write rhymes
35
Walk with me reminisce my life
36
So then we moved up
37
I thought I was the Fresh Prince
38
Dynasty was re-runs and Dallas was faded
39
With three beds this time and six kids
40
We got a doggy that dog loved to shit
41
My brother got his first pair of LA gears
42
He thought they were to take pictures of instead of wear
43
I started hanging out and my jeans got tighter
44
My weird neighbors set their own house on fire
45
Church was all day every day and every week
46
That's where i learned how to sing
47
Hearing that pastor preach
48
Benediction was all we went for
49
So we could run home and play connect four
50
Mum worked late and we learnt to cook
51
Rice peas chicken and stew pea soup
52
In the room watching Kung-Fu films
53
And Cleopatra Joans
54
Wishing we were Cosby kids and the match stick girls
55
1980 Year that God made me
56
89 I started to get by
57
99 I started to write rhymes
58
Walk with me reminisce my life
59
So then we moved up
60
1980 Year that God made me
61
89 I started to get by
62
99 I started to write rhymes
63
Walk with me reminisce my life
64
So then we moved up
65
The man downstairs was dead for three weeks
66
His own cat started eating him
67
The house starts to wreak
68
That's when we moved out
69
And our house was bigger
70
We had a large garage and the attic was killer
71
We used to pray for three hours in the mornin'
72
Sitting on the school bus
73
Believe we was yawning
74
All our hair was stuck down to our foreheads
75
Jam curls, splits, dorags and pin curls yes
76
Sexy boys walking round showing interest
77
In what I don't know 'cause we all had flat chests
78
Don't think we never mastered the kid and play steps
79
Doowop for days in the boggle yep
80
But this is just the beginning of my life right,
81
Nine kids a house and one life time
82
Yo, the beginning of my life right
83
Nine kids a house in one life time
