Fuck that! The 80's fuckin sucked! But, we did have more fun. Could you imagine these kids having to play OUTSIDE all day, and drinking water from the garden hose.
This song brought back child hoods. All over the world. Man I love the hell out of this song. Brings back some memories. Pourin' some beers out for the homies that are no longer with us.
Sad how times like this will never come back our childhood stayed in the past 😞 I remember when this hit the street no phones or social media nothing but love to people that left there childhood memories behind
Luda, one of the most descriptive and influential artist ther will ever be, for sure he has made his mark in life, everything hes done for everyone, sick lyracist, epic rapper, easy one of the most incredible people around! n tht shit is real!
I miss my home town,my homies in the hood.Those days we played music at the back of our houses..Arron, Moses, Mabvuto,chisha, Justine and the list goes on....God be with you my friends.God give me back my childhood.
They came out with in months of each other though fam and who knows which one was recorded first it's just one was on wax briefly before the other and honestly I love the Ludacris joint just as much as the Dilated Peoples joint it's good to see real Hip Hop heads in the comments 💯
This track used to make me forget all bout the bad times ^^ WORD this track is really DOPE, fellas if theres anythang goin wrong... try to listen to this !!!
Thank you for tell'em that. Besides it's up to the producer who gave them the sample to do any of this. This was a Ludacris song first, then was put on the growing Pains Album for D.T.P.
They both have their redeeming qualities. I have a long history with this track, but hearing Dilated Peoples - Worst Comes to Worst adds another dimension to the "I Forgot to be Your Lover" track.
THIS SONG MAKES ME FEEL SUCH A WAY 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 witcha names T-shirts airbrushed that read the same Thick herringbone chain, one gold with yo' initial Harris 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 4-5 When she disobeyed, had North Clayton crazed Just to reiterate dog those was the days Fo' the invasions of haters, man crews from all around Used to get down at True Flavas, bumpin Key Lo 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) We were tryin so hard Hard to survive 'Cause even though we were young We had to stay strong No matter what we went through It was me and my crew And that's how it went When we were kids In 3 months we stayed in Jamestown Hamwood and Diplomats Played with Transformers, G.I. Joe's and Thundercats We was lovin' that Before they started jackin' jacks For notes from Red Oaks had folks scared to come through College Park after dark, Crown Victorias police unmarked cars Be aware, Wayne Williams was out there, but we ain't care Kids was gettin' stabbed and ditched out there too busy playin' Double dare ya touch shorty on the ass, that's a bet Want your Kool-Aid and sugar, smack your hands and say "sweat" It's mine now place it in my Louis Vuitton pouch Thump a nigga on his knuckles make him say ouch Slouch socks, box Chevy Caprice Hot Niss, cut da whole Disturbin' Tha Peace Wit no conscience, broke niggas call 'em non cents No comments, it's Lil' Fate payin' homage to College Park We were tryin' so hard Hard to survive 'Cause even though we were young We had to stay strong No matter what we went through It was me and my crew And that's how it went When we were kids I had a Long John but no Silver, no gold or plat I was simply red from the years I 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 brush teeth, brush naps and calm 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 got damn noise, man We were tryin' so hard Hard to survive 'Cause even though we were young We had to stay strong No matter what we went through It was me and my crew And that's how it went When we were kids We were tryin' so hard Hard to survive 'Cause even though we were young We had to stay strong No matter what we went through It was me and my crew And that's how it went When WERE KIDS
damn i remember this song so many years ago.. i was ordered to the army.. i listened to that song every evening in the barracks ^^ kinda helped me out of that shithole :>
Miss my homies and how it use to be. Everything is so different now I'll give anything to relive those times again

Seems like yesterday
It takes me back whe everyone in my family was alive
"When"
Same

Luda forever
Love you for uploading....

Still bumping this in 2018!
THIS SONG MAKES ME FEEL SUCH A WAY 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 witcha names
T-shirts airbrushed that read the same
Thick herringbone chain, one gold with yo' initial
Harris 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 4-5
When she disobeyed, had North Clayton crazed
Just to reiterate dog those was the days
Fo' the invasions of haters, man crews from all around
Used to get down at True Flavas, bumpin Key Lo
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)
We were tryin so hard
Hard to survive
'Cause even though we were young
We had to stay strong
No matter what we went through
It was me and my crew
And that's how it went
When we were kids
In 3 months we stayed in Jamestown
Hamwood and Diplomats
Played with Transformers, G.I. Joe's and Thundercats
We was lovin' that
Before they started jackin' jacks
For notes from Red Oaks had folks scared to come through
College Park after dark, Crown Victorias police unmarked cars
Be aware, Wayne Williams was out there, but we ain't care
Kids was gettin' stabbed and ditched out there too busy playin'
Double dare ya touch shorty on the ass, that's a bet
Want your Kool-Aid and sugar, smack your hands and say "sweat"
It's mine now place it in my Louis Vuitton pouch
Thump a nigga on his knuckles make him say ouch
Slouch socks, box Chevy Caprice
Hot Niss, cut da whole Disturbin' Tha Peace
Wit no conscience, broke niggas call 'em non cents
No comments, it's Lil' Fate payin' homage to College Park
We were tryin' so hard
Hard to survive
'Cause even though we were young
We had to stay strong
No matter what we went through
It was me and my crew
And that's how it went
When we were kids
I had a Long John but no Silver, no gold or plat
I was simply red from the years I 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 brush teeth, brush naps and calm 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 got damn noise, man
We were tryin' so hard
Hard to survive
'Cause even though we were young
We had to stay strong
No matter what we went through
It was me and my crew
And that's how it went
When we were kids
We were tryin' so hard
Hard to survive
'Cause even though we were young
We had to stay strong
No matter what we went through
It was me and my crew
And that's how it went
When WERE KIDS
and that's how it went when we were kids
still bumpin 2019
