Lyrics
THE OLD DAYS - By: JC "The Truth" VERSE 1: I still remember the old days On Pitman and Penn Robbing Traini’s corner store For some candy to spread. Grab the cast from the closet Stuff the snacks in the sling Tuck your pants in your kicks Grabbing Wise onion rings. Basketball in the streets Steady blocking the traffic Playing tackle football Right behind the McKrackens Jackin Banco’s Deli For some tasty cakes Hittin’ Pat’s Pizzeria For some Philly Steaks. Back yard lifting weights On a homemade bench Had a duct taped bar But it bucked up your chest. Trying mac to the chicks At the baseball field Trying to mac to the chicks At the football field Sneaking out real late Three o’clock in the morning Just to hang out summer nights Till the crack of the morning Made the best of hard times With my friends on the streets Rambunctious little suckas Interrupting the peace. HOOK: I remember in The Grove All the trouble we caused Though I miss the old days I knew I had to move on Because uh, they were the old days Back in the old days Back in the uh, uh Back in the old days REPEAT VERSE 2: I remember Halloweens Haunted houses and tricks Mischief night, throwing eggs Here’s the soap, there’s the whip Three people on a bike One back on the pegs One up on the handle bars With a big ass head. Chicks playing double-dutch While the fella’s slap box Better swing a little harder Don’t let your guard drop. Man, better watch the clock On certain streets in the Grove. No joke, man late at night Don’t you travel alone. You fast? You could use the train tracks to run Back then people got jumped For some Reebok pumps. Back then, my best friend Got beat down bad Stepped on someone else’s Timb’s And got dropped on his ass. Had to be a little tough Or keep your ass in the crib Never knew it back then I was a punk ass kid. Plus the rest of the click But we did what we did Ain’t no turning back now Man we lived how we lived. HOOK: REPEAT VERSE 3: I use to bump Craig Mack Biggie, Snoop and Dre Cyprus Hill, Robe Base LL Cool J Had fifteen tweeters Networked to a box Lined them all along my windows Neighbors calling the cops. Had a dual cassette deck Stop, rewind, play Use to study all the lyrics What’d Biggie just say? By the age of fourteen I was writing my own Had a poetic perspective Topics written in prose Mostly street poems Stories of the people I’ve known Colorful, yet out of control Like kaleidoscopes I was always fighting someone Got suspended from school No 8th grade trips, No school dance too. Barely got into high school All my boys dropped out As we slowly separated I stopped leaving the house. I miss the old days Growing up in the Grove But we made our own beds And I’m gon’ lie in my own. HOOK: REPEAT END
