Remember that      Turn the beat up I get lost in the mind   Come across the rhyme kick my feet up   Then I find myself in time I was on a train   Destination Marley Marl's domain   I entertained things'll never be the same      DJ's are conveyed if the label ok it   Teddy Ted and special K was the first ones to play it   On the radio with the crazy flow   I pay dues until it pays me dough to do a show      When I'm at the helm I cover the whole realm   In control and leave your soul overwhelmed   Another influence of beats and instruments   Lyrics make it intricate and elements are tense      When you was playin' Pac man it was the jams I packed   Peeps would swarm when I was perform in, black I'm all that   Back before they turned hip hop to rap   It always a place to party at, remember that?      I remember the spots that used to be hot   Just like the roof top, a place that only few can rock   On a wild ass block, yeah you find me there a lot   Until you hear gunshots, that's when the fun stops      Here come the cops, time to go home, get in order   'Cause I'll be back in Manhattan   If somethings happenin' at the Latin quarter   House of havoc when it came to fourteen carat   And if you had it yeah kids would try to grab it      It's cool at the red parrot we was doin' it there   I was the first one to rip it at the union square   Me and DJ Red Alert did work   A crazy concert, a lot of kids got hurt      I did encores at the encore, they wanted more   I kicked a freestyle till I heard the crowd roar   Like the fun house, Bronx center never endin' black   Place to be was the Brooklyn armory, remember that?      Remember that   Remember that   Remember that      Open the door, let the crowds in, over twenty thousand   Wildin' music's loud and microphone's growlin'   Tickets are sold out, parties is packed and on tour   Rippin' basketball arenas back then      Even after parties, posses of players and hotties   Everybody was gotti, spreadin' bucks like shorties   Spendin' cash, to make a good time last   Thoughts that I had give me a blast of the past      Memories are unforgettable times on my mind   Dollar signs and melodies and incredible rhymes   The people I met and the sets that got wrecked   All the mics I checked, most of all life's effects      And peace to all the people I grew up around   In the streets back when beats had a rougher sound   I used to be wild me and my crew sit back and we smile   Keep piles of pictures filed in case I go senile      'Cause some things are just too good to be forgot   Like your neighborhood block or your favorite spot   Certain records always seem to make me reminisce   And when it hits and then it clicks remember this      My life flashed before me I'm there from the sounds   I hear pinpoint the year, it's perfectly clear   I like the way it went down and alla that, in fact   It mean a lot, 'cause you can't bring it back, remember that      Remember that   Remember that   Remember that      Think about it   Think about it   Think about it
