Yeah, yeah, what, yeah 
Reminding me of Sef, what? 
Fat fat thick booty, what? 
You say jack that big booty, yo 
He say OOH OH 
I heard the boy he said OOH OH 
The party people he said OOH OH 
Uhh uh uh uhh yo yo yo 
Check it, check it 
 
Driftin on a memory, brought forth 
from a fifth of Hennesey, as in times 
of eighty-nine they envision me 
Warm days and the cold beer chemistry 
Eventually broken up by responsibilities and such 
Sometimes this era mentally I reconstruct 
High school I came out it 
Cats with clout at graduation got they name shouted 
Go to Great America, me and my lady rock the same outfit 
My niggaz be fuckin girls that she hang out with 
Round then Guy came out with, 'Piece of My Love' 
Arguin over if he said, "Dumb bitch" 
Everyday the same old with rainbow, watchin the sun twist 
Cool as a Mig Dry, that in the trunk shit 
Afterparties in Wendy's parkin lot, unfamiliar faces got marked a lot 
Showin off for hoes in bricks and rows had us charged to box 
That demo sorta stopped once A.C. got popped 
 
[Chorus: Chantay Savage] 
 
It's remind-ing... mmm whooahhh yeahhh 
It's remind-ing... heyyeahhahh, uh-huh

Check it 
Before these minds got ahold to some drugs 
and start thinkin they thugs 
We'd be at the Bismarck, and the Racquetball club 
Plugged with Gucci promotion so we got in free 
Against the wall me and my guys formed a colony, Ron'll be beatin 
Saved my day, dancin on speakers 
Flames snatched I was born this way 
87th Street and Hyde Park was warrin 
Over gossip, Kenwood bras was pourin 
Suited in three-quarter Jordans, pro-models 
and started coach out the back of Beauty Shop Sevalas 
Buy the dope, put my name in they verse, EPMD 
I would quote, stolen leathers I'd sell, like a child of broke 
behind the beat, I took my first shot of Henny 
It hit me in the chest like when them marks shot Benji 
Shame on the girl that left her Fendi around crew 
I'da go through it or, take it, we was bound to 
Travellin like Vice Lords, down to the taste 
Not wantin to bring my lady around crew cause they would snake 
House parties was the lick, behind bars we'd come up 
at em' I did the Hooper dance with my thumbs up 
 
[Chorus] 
 
[Common] 
There go the break 
To get the break go, it go OOH OH 
Yeah, it go OOH OH 
You heard the people they go oh oh oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh 
Yo, check it, check it 
 
Nowadays niggaz is fake, like that party at McCormick Place 
I don't draw with em, cause they was born to trace 
At times I contemplate movin to a warmer place 
Then the Lake and skyline, give me a warm embrace 
remindin me of the pointed parties Moe used to mace 
Six deep in the Hyundai bumpin Twilight Tone tapes 
Come home late callin broads hang up on they mother 
If it wasn't nowhere to scrap at then we would fight each other 
Get a room at the Dunes havin bakeouts 
We'd eat, at Giadonno's and break out 
Then everybody thought that they could spend 
High rollers had the MCM blazer blend 
Girbauds and Guess jeans we was takin in 
Cranes and freight trains we was breakin in 
Tim a be basin Mike down at I.I.T. 
Rememberin numbers depended on how high I'd be 
It's a Deja-Brew, when I see bottles of Gill 
My man Sef passed I feel hollow but still 
 
[Chorus] |
