1
Those were the days, back in Junior High
2
For an 8th grader, my style was kinda fly
3
And just to prove I was an MC Pro
4
I often sponsored a classroom show
5
And the hype part of my imagination
6
Was making my homeroom a hip hop station
7
Minutes before the late bell would ring
8
I would greet the audience and then I'll swing
9
A lyric or two as the students barked
10
Because my rhymes had sparked
11
Off something causing the class to mingle
12
To a rhythm which is now a 12" single
13
Letting off many styles of hip hop
14
Holding the mic that I made in wood shop
15
Forget gold, my key chain was a cable
16
Two math textbooks were turntables
17
And for a mixer, something much cooler
18
A penny being cross faded on a ruler
19
Measuring dope beats that were flexed
20
From hands that played a drum roll on a desk
21
From my home girl, her name, fly as Emory
22
Sweet memory
23
I remember sitting in my art class
24
Drawing up lyrics kinda fast
25
The outcome, a masterpiece
26
Live shows with hyped up rhymes released
27
As if lyrics were flowing from the heavens above
28
I'll grab a mic and provoke a push to a shove
29
From boys and girls who broke necks to see
30
The lyrics G.O.D.
31
Those were the days
32
Now it's high school, lunch room's the scene
33
And I'm ready to flip the routing
34
In the cafeteria, period three
35
And here I come with the JVC
36
I go in my pocket and pull out a mic
37
Plug it in, check one-two...alright
38
Now who want to show and prove their MC skills?
39
A brother stepped forward and tried to get ill
40
But when it came time to live out his name
41
He kicked rhymes that all sounded the same
42
But I did him in with a matter of time
43
And he was done with one victorious rhyme
44
He was shocked because he knew he was rocked
45
Along with his classmates from off his block
46
YO!, I'm telling you, I flipped his whole crew
47
One against one or one against two
48
Or three or four brothers who swore they can rhyme
49
Battled me and got taken out every time
50
From my style and my dope profile
51
Plus the period of time that I rocked for awhile
52
As a motivated, dominated supreme force
53
Cultivated, activated cream and source
54
The wise educated and born to be
55
The one who would flip an MC
56
Those were the days
