lyrics

‘94

Verse 1

April 19th doctor say it’s a girl
In 94 illmatic dropped the same day I came in this world
My mother said “the world is yours” she was givin me game
It’s only right I take a trip down Memory lane

In 94 that’s when biggie dropped ready to die
The first time I heard gimme the loot I kept pressin rewind
I grew up hearin Tupac so many tears
That’s when I fell in love with rap and said I’m supposed to be there

Jay had reasonable doubt 1, 2 and Vol 3
Foxy was my favorite but Lauryn style Inspired me
Classics and no rapper will get to replace it
They blame it on the kids and say we too miseducated

Pun Kim X and mob deep type of shit I loved
Bumpin Wu Before I was old enough to hit a club
respect to the rappers I didn’t grow up on
Came out before I was born or I was probably too young to know they songs

Verse 2

G unit was my generation pac and biggie
I remember niggas wantin to get shot cus 50
Back when we had to burn mixtapes or go to the store
Back when Arcadia was lit a place you go when you bored

I Wrote my first 16 to a tribe called quest beat
Made my first beat inspired by a Kanye west beat
I remember watchin big tigger in the basement
I use to fantasize about me Spittin with the greatest

At my shows word for word how they sang each song
Use music as my medicine to erase these scars
I get paid for these bars
Now I reminisce Back when Pork and beans and hot dogs was our filet mignon

Heat a honey bun for breakfast momma playin whats the 411
We was still livin on Broadway the poor young slums
In the future when they talk about the greats
They gone mention Ché noir in them Top 5 debates
