Way way way back days the year   1983   Had to get a job   Had to make some money   Picked up a pen and a pad   Dropped reality   Never thinking that I would   Live to see the day I rocked my own CD   We used to do the dance we called woopie woopiw   Now STP 1993   So Hollywood get out my way   My mom's word seems like yesterday   'Love Jesus, don't forget to pray'   She most have gone with the boss DJ   Right?   Next thing you know skinny coming with the 9mm   Cause he who has the money has the authority   And respect to the man with the ooze      The 808 kit is on my hitlist   And this beat's cooking like a piped out bliss   It wasn't hard to do   It was so easy   Because to me loops come naturaly   Mom's words seem like yesterday      And now in '94 we got an STP   A half pack of smokes   And oh yes, Aunt Bea   A fifteen pack of Old Milwalkee   A Dalmation and a girlfriend   But I ain't got no money-ne-ne   The 808 is within my reach   Sublime beats are comin' straight from Long Beach   If you think that Hollywood didn't get what he deserved   Call 808 kit to get served
