Rakim - Remember That lyrics

rate me

Remember that?

Turn the beat upI get lost in the mind come across

The rhyme kick my feet upthen I find myself in time

I was on a traindestination marley marl's domain

I entertained things'll never be the same

Dj's are conveyed if the label ok it

Teddy ted and special k was the first ones to play it

On the radiowith the crazy flow

I pay dues until it pays me dough to do a show

When I'm at the helm I cover the whole realm

In control and leave your soul overwhelmed

Another influence of beats and instruments

Lyrics make it intricate and elements are tense

When you was playin pac man it was the jams I packed

Peeps would swarm when I was perform inblack I'm all that

Back before they turned hip-hop to rap

It always a place to party atremember that?

I remember the spots that used to be hot

Just like the roof topa place that only few can rock

On a wild ass blockyeah you find me there a lot

Until you hear gunshotsthat's when the fun stops

Here come the copstime to go homeget in order

Cause I'll be back in manhattan if somethings happenin at the latin quarter

House of havoc when it came to fourteen carat

And if you had it yeah kids'd try to grab it

It's cool at the red parrot we was doin it there

I was the first one to rip it at the union square

Me and dj red alert did work

A crazy concerta lot of kids got hurt

I did encores at the encorethey wanted more

I kicked a freestyle til I heard the crowd roar

Like the funhousebronx center never endin black

Place to be was the brooklyn armoryremember that?

Remember that? (3x)

Open the doorlet the crowds inover twenty thousand

Wildin music's loud and microphone's growlin

Tickets are sold outparties is packed and on tour

Rippin basketball arenas back then

Even afterpartiesposses of players and hotties

Everybody was gottispreadin bucks like shotties

Spendin cashto make a good time last

Thoughts that I had give me a blast of the past

Memories of unforgettable times on my mind

Dollar signs and melodies and incredible rhymes

The people I metand the sets that got wrecked

All the mics I checkedmost of all life's effects

And peace to all the people I grew up around

In the streets back when beats had a rougher sound

I used to be wild me and my crew sit back and we smile

Keep piles of pictures filed in case I go senile

Cause some things are just too good to be forgot

Like your neighborhood block or your favorite spot

Certain records always seem to make me reminisce

And when it hitsand then it clicksremember this

My life flashed before me I'm there from the sounds

I hear pinpoint the yearit's perfectly clear

I like the way it went down and alla thatin fact

It mean a lotcause you can't bring it backremember that

Remember that? (3x)
