“I’m sayin’, a lotta things change

fades and slang change, clothes and chains change

Back in the day bangin Slick Rick and Dana Dane

Airbrushed jacks, fat laces, name plates

Gold done come and gone, now the platinum chains hang

they deep with white tees, all rockin the same thang

Gazelles and finger-waves to dreads and stunna shades

went from G-Rap and Kane to Kanye and Lil Wayne

I was a shorty then, I couldn’t even stay up late

Still caught the bug when David Bowie sang of “fame”

Went from Reganomics, pro-black in ’88

to Dre and The Chronic, red and blue, the gang bang
