Lyrics
[Intro]
Do it again
Do it a—, let's do it again
Do it a—, let's do it again
[Verse 1]
Okay, I remember the days
High rights, low lefts, even-stevens and fades
Troops, Lottos and BKs, those was the days
Hi-Tec boots spray painted with ya names
T-shirts airbrushed that read the same
Thick herringbone chain, one gold with your initial
Harry's Photos, group shots, can you remember?
Barry, him told his bitch, "Go to the prom and die"
Didn't lie, shot his self in the head with the four-five
When she disobeyed, had North Clayton crazed
Just to reiterate, dawg, those was the days
'Fore the invasions of haters, mane, crews from all around
Used to get down at True Flavors, bumpin' Kilo
Rockin' Damage, Cross Colour and Paco
While playboys stepped in talent shows
Prom night, tux and Kangol was so cool
Fuck them new model cars, we ridin' old school (Old school)
[Verse 2]
It used to be all good when we played Double Dutch in the hood
On the softball team I was swingin' that wood
I remember eatin' Kool-Aid and sunflower seeds
Jelly shoes, hair braided with a thousand beads
Mama sittin' on the porch 'til the lights come on
And when I woke up in the mornin' and my bike was gone
I was sick to my stomach, couldn't eat for days
Sweepin' beauty shops, saving, makin' minimum wage
Then I copped a 10-speed and got back on my feet
A whole pack of girls ridin' twenty-deep in the street
We playin' catch a boy, freak a boy, switchin' up the rules
A summertime splash party get you in the pool
Ladies, if ya feel it, holla back 'cause you with me
Shout my **** Keya, Toni Mack, Jayla and Nikki
This for all them hood parkin' lots in every city
Ludacris, Face, Lil' Fate and Shawnna you with me? We tryin' hard
[Chorus]
Tryin' so hard (Do it a—)
Hard to survive (Let's do it again)
'Cause even though we were young (Do it a—)
We had to stay strong (Let's do it again)
No matter what we went through (Do it a—)
It was me and my crew (Let's do it again)
And that's how it went (Do it a—)
When we were kids (Let's do it again)
[Verse 3]
I had a long john but no silver, no gold or plat'
I was simply red from the years I'd been holdin' back
With two sides to a book, I lick stamps and light matches
And set fires in garbage pails and cabbage patches
A child of the corn, been wild since I was born
Climbin' over barbed wire, clothes got torn
Shoes got muddy and my clique turned cruddy
Wherever I go, they went, they my buddies
I brushed teeth, brushed naps and combed streets
Dreamin' of Cadillacs, wood wheels and plush seats
Cats with gold teeth and raps with such beats
Macks with no grief and some sacks of green leaf
When I loaded my cap gun, I was ready for action
Starin' at beer cans and a moment to crack one
Wanna hang with the big boys and play with the big toys
And be with the people makin' all that goddamn noise, man
[Verse 4]
I remember Swatch watches, Izod, Sperrys
Levi denims, dried-out Jheri curls
Back when the girls wore striped Chic jeans
Or straight leg Lees on, sewn at the seams
Bondo paint was all good if you had bang
Long as you was ridin', you ain't need to have game
And even back then, chicks were starvin' to touch status
You either had a car, favorite Jordan, or kept static (Watch out)
Old school homies did nothin' but block rep
Stayin' gone off the Olde E and pop James
Mama had to monitor **** ya hung around
To the point where you came in the house when they come around
And my dad was dead, so these streets had to raise me
And even back in 1983 shit was crazy
Young, black, broke, drunk beer, smoked
It's good they kicked my ass out of school, fuck the principal
[Chorus]
Tryin' so hard (Do it a—)
Hard to survive (Let's do it again)
'Cause even though we were young (Do it a—)
We had to stay strong (Let's do it again)
No matter what we went through (Do it a—)
It was me and my crew (Let's do it again)
And that's how it went (Do it a—)
When we were kids (Let's do it again)
Tryin' so hard (Do it a—)
Hard to survive (Let's do it again)
'Cause even though we were young (Do it a—)
We had to stay strong (Let's do it again)
No matter what we went through (Do it a—)
It was me and my crew (Let's do it again)
And that's how it went (Do it a—)
When we were kids (Let's do it again)
[Outro]
Do it a—, let's do it again
Do it a—, let's do it again
Do it a—, let's do it again
Do it a—, let's do it again
Do it a—, let's do it again
