Do You Remember
Cappadonna Lyrics

Yo, ohh man, yo
Hey, let's reminisce about the past, my friend

Yo you remember when your girl used to like me and you
Remember when we used to care about these things and it caused drama, but it's all good now?

Ahh man, it's all good though cause like yo
No worries, man. We're still bros no matter what.

Man, you my best friend my dude
You're the homie, my closest friend.

You know what I'm talking about, we been doing this for years
We've been through so much together and have shared so many memories.

Here you can hold my gazelles yo, word
Here, hold my shoes while we reflect on the past.

Do you remember when we used to make zip guns, shooting 'em
Remember when we used to make guns out of random things and shoot them for fun?

Playing skelly plus balls, we be routing em
We used to have fun playing various games and always came out on top.

Hop Scotch, High-waters, Pops gave us quarters
We used to play games like Hop Scotch, wear flood pants, and our dads would give us pocket change.

Rock candy, Miss Terry with the cute daughters
We used to enjoy rock candy and had a neighborhood girl named Miss Terry who had attractive daughters.

Spin the bottle, catch kiss and get a little bit
We used to play Spin the Bottle and get a little romantic action.

I remember when we used to carry little sticks
We used to carry small sticks as if they were weapons.

Mad ribbons in they hair, we kept little chicks
We used to like girls who wore ribbons in their hair and we considered them our girlfriends.

Block parties, roller skating up and down the block
We used to have parties in our neighborhood and roller skate up and down the street.

Red Alert, Bambaataa, plus Dr. Rock
We used to listen to hip hop DJs like Red Alert and Bambaataa, as well as Dr. Rock.

Gucci frames, no lenses with the big box
We used to wear Gucci frames without lenses and carry big boxes around as if they were valuable.

Reebok's in every color with the slout socks
We used to wear Reeboks in every color and style them with slouchy socks.

Dyed hair, Lotto sneakers plus polka dots
We used to dye our hair, wear Lotto sneakers, and even incorporate polka dots into our fashion.

I remember when we never heard of crack spots
We remember a time before crack was prevalent in our community.

Best friends, little straws on the bike rims
We were best friends and would put little straws on our bike rims for fun.

Tight Lee's, bell bottoms with the stripe blends
We used to wear tight Lee jeans and then move onto bell bottoms with stripes.

Halloween, Thanksgiving, plus Christmas
We celebrated all the major holidays together.

Now brothers acting like they never even heard of this
Nowadays, people act like they don't remember or care about those good old days.

Yeah, yo, you know what was real funny man
Hey, do you remember something else that was funny?

Why all the time we used to have like holes in our knees
Why did we always tear holes in our pants at the knees?

On our pants, on our jeans
We're talking about the pants and jeans we used to wear as kids.

We always kept holes right there for some strange reason
It was weird that we always intentionally made holes in our clothing at the knees.

And remember when we used to have the sneakers
We're talking about the sneakers we used to wear when we were younger.

They used to like, go out in the back
The back of the sneaker used to stick out.

And sometimes the sock be ripped in the back
Sometimes our sock would be torn or ripped in the back because of the sneaker.

And sometimes in the front too
Other times, the sock would be torn in the front due to the sneaker.

And then the sneaker used to wear down
Eventually, the sneakers would wear down from all the wear and tear.

Do you remember, do you rememmmbbbeer
We're still looking back on all our shared memories.

When we used to play shoot em up, shoot 'em up
We used to play games where we pretended to shoot each other.

Bang-bang, bang-bang
We even made sounds to go along with our imaginary guns.

Do you remember when we used to eat beans and franks
We used to eat simple foods like beans and hot dogs.

And Momma Love used to get on us to say our thanks
And our mom would make sure we said grace before eating.

Or when we used to play tag, hiding under the couch
We used to play tag and hide under the furniture to avoid getting caught.

Trying to get in rec parties, they was kicking us out
We used to try to sneak into recreation center parties, but they would often kick us out.

And how about when we used to play hookie from school
We used to skip school and not show up for the day.

And somebody else parents beat us, and mega junk food
And if we got caught, the parents of other kids would punish us and we would indulge in junk food.

Do you remember Kangol hats were stuffed with plastic
We used to wear Kangol hats with the brim stuffed with plastic to keep it sturdy.

And bowl cuts we had were shaped like a basket
Our hair used to be styled in bowl cut shapes.

We used to be at the center squeezing a chicks butt
We used to be surrounded by girls and would playfully tease and touch them.

And everybody that was corny we called em a duck
We used to make fun of people we thought were uncool and call them ducks.

Sometimes we beat box and we bang on tables
Sometimes we would beatbox and make music by banging on tables.

Graffiti was everywhere, plus the fat gold cables
There was graffiti all around the neighborhood and people wore flashy, thick gold chains.
