Generate meaning
1
When I was a kid I rode crates on a skate
2
And I ate everything momma put on my plate
3
Niggaz walked around packin be -be guns
4
Knock on yo' door and run, just for fun
5
We went to the sto' and sold bottles fo' a nickel
6
To feast upon a big bag of Cheetos and a pickle
7
You could get a soda foe less than quarter, and
8
People used to speak even if they didn't know ya
9
We fought in the streets like little black soldiers
10
Shake hands, and still be friends when it was over
11
We used to play tag and, hide and go seek, or
12
Hide and go get it if we had a few freaks, but
13
Now thangs changed, kids ain't the same
14
They bang, and slang, and blow out brains
15
I wish I could go back but, wishin is for suckers
16
Life was so simple then
17
I remember (I remember) ohhhhhhh
18
When we used to hang
19
On the porch, drinkin brew
20
And now they drive-by (bay-bee)
21
I remember (I remember) ohhhhhhh
22
When we used to play
23
Shoot-em-up, up and down
24
But now they gang-bang (bay-bee)
25
Well I remember yesteryear like it was yesterday
26
Runnin through the streets of Onessa P-A
27
I take you through my childhood step by step
28
Daddy always told me to maintain my rep though
29
Daddy was a dawg he ain't raise no punks
30
In the midst of the trees we learned how to thump
31
At the tender age of nine momma put us on a plane
32
Next stop -- the land of the insane
33
Compton California where the killers grow
34
Forced to live a life that I didn't know
35
Wore the wrong colors cause I didn't know the facts
36
Call her bitch, caught a case, caught a slug in my back
37
But I adapted quickly, suckers tried to get me
38
Now the fools better run cause this just driveby Billy
39
Little black boy from the East
40
Forced to be a killer, but I can still remember
41
I remember (I remember) ohhhhhhh
42
When we used to play
43
Domino, on the porch
44
But now they drive-by (bay-bee)
45
I remember (I remember) ohhhhhhh
46
When we used to have
47
Army fights, in the smog
48
But now they gang-bang (bay-bee)
49

50
We used to have this game called paperball
51
(Paperball? What the fuck is that?)
52
Get a piece of paper, ball that motherfucker up
53

54
I got Tha Alkaholik juice to wake ya up like a rooster
55
Back when I was young, I used to be a booster
56
Stealin candy from the sto', go to school, come up
57
I had the whole playground, chewin all my gum up
58
You know what I'm sayin? Playin still to the chest
59
And I was the best, playin kickball at recess
60
I play Pop Warner, golden pairs for the losers
61
We used to hop corners on the fresh deuce cruisers
62
Playin Galaga, Space Invaders, eatin Reese's
63
I had all the women cause my tough skins had creases
64
And it's been that way since day one
65
Girls of the world ain't nothin but fun
66
I used to watch Dr. J, come through in the clutch
67
Remember New Zoo Review, and Starsky and Hutch
68
I remember lunchtime, we used to rhyme out loud
69
Peace to the Wop and the hip-hop crowd, I remember
70
