Yo I remember back in 1983 / I was just a little ass mothafuckin’ G / Bustin’ on the playground, whatcha gotta say now? / Nowadays I bet they wouldn’t recognize me / Yo I remember back in 1985 / B-boy stancin’ tryin’ to look fly / Late night graffiti’n the schools / Runnin’ the streets and breakin’ all the rules / Yo I remember back in 1989 / All I wanna do is fuckin’ party all the time / Look there goes my lady, damn the bitch is shady / Tryin’ to fuck a friend of mine / Like this ain’t supposed to be / I swear this here ain’t the life for me / But thank you for the shrooms and the LSD / It’s the only thing that helped me keep my sanity / Yo I remember back in 1992 / Now we graduated from this busta ass school / And now I’m old enough to vote though I can’t really cope / ‘Cuz a black believer’s just a fool / And now it’s 1995 / All is love inside / It’s a beautiful life that we’re livin’ / Sunshine, travellin’ out to the west / When I get to Monterrey I hit the weed to the chest / Like (coughs) “It’s fuckin’ beautiful” / And now it’s ’97 and I’m done travellin’ / I found my way back home to Colorado and / Started thinkin’ that it’s time for revolution / Then DJ Prana started up the Freedom Movement / They stockin’ food for the Y2K / Yo, remember the hype built around that day? / When computers were to crash and crumble away / But they only got stronger like they here to stay / (George W. Bush talking) / Yo post 2001 / It’s a lot less fun / ‘Cuz the world’s gotten so damn serious / The government’s got us lookin’ for the terrorists / But we know who you are / And now it’s 2006 / My little daughter’s in the mix / And I wanna be a better representative / For showin’ love and respect ‘cuz the way we live / Is probably lookin’ bizarre / Yo where we go from here? / It’s 2010 but 2012 is near / I think that where we’re goin’ is not totally clear / I think the transformation is not somethin’ to fear, fear… / Fear is the biggest enemy in the world we live in / Takes all our love / Fear is the biggest enemy in the world we live in / Kills all our love / Fear is the biggest enemy in the world we live in / Don’t let it take your love
