[00:21.678] |
It was still dark when Mark arrived |
[00:23.966] |
Maybe 6:45 in the morning time |
[00:26.649] |
In the tenth grade, we was tight friends |
[00:29.688] |
But neither of us had a driver's license |
[00:32.349] |
His aunt was a flight attendant |
[00:34.340] |
And she'd leave town with a Cadillac unattended |
[00:37.342] |
So we used to get tempted |
[00:38.923] |
That intense tendency to tend to what we wasn't meant to |
[00:42.365] |
We would skip out on class and shit |
[00:44.307] |
To go visit other schools, just tryin to act cool |
[00:47.448] |
And looking back I have to laugh at it |
[00:49.328] |
Cause all we did was burn up gas and flunk math fool |
[00:52.741] |
But still it was super ill |
[00:54.563] |
I mean two teenagers in a new Seville |
[00:57.273] |
With 1987 in the tapedeck |
[00:59.609] |
That was a part of my life that I'll never forget |
[01:02.026] |
It went... |
[01:02.864] |
The soundtrack still runs through my head |
[01:05.484] |
I gotta keep every single step |
[01:07.794] |
As old as we get, we don't forget |
[01:10.563] |
We won't forget |
[01:11.440] |
We don't forget |
[01:12.996] |
The soundtrack still runs through my head |
[01:15.521] |
I gotta keep every single step |
[01:18.051] |
As old as we get, we don't forget |
[01:20.400] |
We won't forget |
[01:22.771] |
And you can't tell me nothing about frontin |
[01:24.911] |
We wasn't even sixteen yet, come on jump in |
[01:28.024] |
Cruise control until we lose control |
[01:30.309] |
Max the low end out to let it bruise my soul |
[01:33.397] |
And god knows I should have been studying |
[01:35.570] |
So maybe I could grow up and be somebody |
[01:38.013] |
But I loved the looks that the girls shot at me from the bus stop |
[01:40.560] |
When we pulled up in that caddy |
[01:43.748] |
Good thing back then I had bad game |
[01:46.012] |
Otherwise there probably be a few with my last name |
[01:48.902] |
Better that my true love was rap |
[01:50.730] |
Now let it auto reverse, until the bad dub snaps |
[01:53.660] |
Felt so right, forgot we was wrong |
[01:56.047] |
Sittin at a stop light, singin along |
[01:58.464] |
When I look in my rearview now, what would I see |
[02:00.929] |
If I didn't have the music in my history, now give it to me |
[02:04.176] |
The soundtrack still runs through my head |
[02:06.462] |
I gotta keep every single step |
[02:09.167] |
As old as we get, we don't forget |
[02:11.461] |
We won't forget |
[02:12.632] |
We don't forget |
[02:14.295] |
The soundtrack still runs through my head |
[02:16.631] |
I gotta keep every single step |
[02:19.405] |
As old as we get, we don't forget |
[02:21.692] |
We won't forget |
[02:24.169] |
And we was just a couple of kids |
[02:26.032] |
It was right around the same time that nobody was beatin the biz |
[02:29.200] |
Had that, and I know you got soul |
[02:31.075] |
On a tape that I made, recorded em off a Traffic Tram show (here we go) |
[02:35.274] |
I was addicted to the radio |
[02:37.063] |
Make my request, and wait for it |
[02:39.046] |
Holdin my finger on the pause button, like "now go" |
[02:41.922] |
I guess that was the original download |
[02:44.805] |
Rap videos and girls digits |
[02:47.047] |
A fifteen pack of blank cassettes for Christmas |
[02:49.919] |
Used to steal mom's change if it's easy to |
[02:52.370] |
We used to make up names for our graffiti crew |
[02:54.944] |
Used to talk about makin it big |
[02:57.169] |
And if we ever got rich, the way we would live |
[03:00.227] |
Hey Mark, we ain't there yet but |
[03:02.182] |
If you can hear my voice then turn your stereo up, like what... |
[03:05.468] |
The soundtrack still runs through my head |
[03:07.970] |
I gotta keep every single step |
[03:10.376] |
As old as we get, we don't forget |
[03:12.736] |
We won't forget |
[03:14.059] |
We don't forget |
[03:15.815] |
The soundtrack still runs through my head |
[03:18.165] |
I gotta keep every single step |
[03:20.553] |
As old as we get, we don't forget |
[03:22.988] |
We won't forget |
[03:25.285] |
