Yearbook
DJ Romes Lyrics

Come on kIT? uhh yeah run it down the line
Let's go, let's start, yeah, continue with the story

Traveling highways, named after dead cops
Driving on roads named in memory of fallen police officers

In junior high, saw my first red tops
During my middle school years, witnessed the presence of drugs being sold

Collect the cards with heart? on the bmx
Gathered trading cards featuring BMX riders, expressing admiration for their skills

15th birthday
Celebrated my fifteenth birthday

My girl at the time gave me sex
My girlfriend at that moment engaged in sexual activity with me

Dropped acid at a grateful dead show
Took LSD (a hallucinogenic drug) while attending a concert by the Grateful Dead

Drove vw bus, got broken into
Drove a Volkswagen bus, which was then burglarized

They took my de la soul tape
The thieves stole my cassette tape of the musical group De La Soul

Wait come on, now thats not hippy
Wait, hold on, that's not what is typically associated with the hippie culture

Even took the long stocks off of pippy
They even stole the long stocks or braids from someone named Pippy

Shiftiness and certain things I don't
Dishonesty and specific actions that I do not

Forget they stay with me
Are unforgettable and remain in my memory

Thank god not talking about a std
Expressing gratitude that the previous line was not referring to a sexually transmitted disease

Not proud of everything but I
Although I am not proud of everything I did

Sure don’t regret it the past is what it is
Certainly do not regret it, as the past cannot be changed

You can’t go back to edit
It is impossible to go back and make changes

Seen locks open up that we had no keys to
Witnessed opportunities arise without us having the necessary means to access them

The joyrides, Toyotas, even these zoot suit's
The exhilarating drives, various car models, and even extravagant zoot suits

Breeze through
Experience without much difficulty or effort

You would have thought we knew better
One might assume we had gained more wisdom

Had lots of exposure for growing up shelter
Experienced many different things despite growing up in a protected environment

Keep in touch, kids in my past
Maintain contact with the people from my childhood

Don’t see em much
Rarely have the opportunity to see them

All-stars, in local bars drinking it up
Highly regarded individuals, spending time at neighborhood bars enjoying themselves

Some are shut, others can’t wait to open up
Some are reserved, while others are eagerly awaiting new experiences

Flipping through the pages getting these paper cuts
Looking through memories and reminiscing, sometimes experiencing emotional pain

I spent gringo tax getting a nickel sack
I used the extra money I had to buy a small quantity of drugs

It’s kinda crazy when I look back at
It's somewhat astonishing when I reflect on

All the spots I’ve been to
All the different places I have visited

And the shots that rang out
And the incidents involving gunshots that occurred

I see why family didn’t want me to hang out
I understand why my family discouraged me from spending time with certain people

Drank, malt liquor it got me sick quicker
Consumed malt liquor, which made me feel ill faster

On the wicker chair when the Philly blunt smoke was thicker
Sitting on a wicker chair, surrounded by thick smoke from smoking Philadelphia-brand cigars

Got much deeper in the culture of reefer
Became more involved in the marijuana culture

Now I’m getting quality zones for much cheaper
Nowadays, I can obtain high-quality marijuana for a lower price

Rocked the beeper, standing at a payphone
Wore a pager and stood by a public telephone

What I had to talk about I couldn’t say at home
I had certain things to discuss that I couldn't share within the confines of my house

I kept it crackin, fly as Stalone
I kept the situation exciting, as cool as Sylvester Stallone

Seem to be around the flood when It’s dry as a bone
It appears that I am present during times of abundance, even when there is scarcity

Ditched high school to go to college campus
Skipped high school classes to visit a college campus

Barely graduated and our parents couldn’t stand it
Barely finished high school, and our parents were displeased with it

Yeah it’s a yearbook
Yes, this is a representation of memories and experiences from a specific period

It’s a yearbook it’s a yearbook
This is a compiled collection of memories, akin to a yearbook

Keep in touch, kids in my past
Maintain contact with the people from my childhood

Don’t see em much
Rarely have the opportunity to see them

All-stars, in local bars drinking it up
Highly regarded individuals, spending time at neighborhood bars enjoying themselves

Some are shut, others can’t wait to open up
Some are reserved, while others are eagerly awaiting new experiences

Flipping through the pages getting these paper cuts
Looking through memories and reminiscing, sometimes experiencing emotional pain
