I remember when…
A safety pin and a towel could make you superman
Sweet pickles books, and the sweet pickles van
Vicks formula 44D when you had a cough
Stay up late enough Shiiddd TV went off
It was acceptbale to tuck jeans in your boots
Every dudes First Colonge was prolly Brut
Then came Drakkar,
Had remote control cars
Wathced Kung Fu Theater, had Numchucks and throwing stars
Bit O Honey’s, Mary Janes, Charleston Chews
The Jets came out and made “Got a Crush on you”
First heard Nas On Live at the BBQ
Hand to the face when somebody bothered you
Scratch n Sniff stickers
Said ewwww at Nose pickers
And the fuked up black and white yearbook picturres
Use to pass it around, hope someone would sign it.
BDP came out made Criminal Minded
Hot dogs and pork-n-beans was a gormet meal
Again Flashdance with Jennifer Beals
Your Bike was the ish Tennis balls in the wheels
Worst day Ever New Edition-Johnny Gill
Twister mat on the floor
We played Connect Four
One Dollar was the ish at the Penny Candy Store
Had Smarties, Bottle caps, Loved Fun Dip
Timer showed us
Wagon wheels, and Sunshine on a stick
Man, remember Pez?
Use to love Big Lez
Pre Air Force Ones?
was Nike Cortez
Everyone believed in God
The Lakers was my Squad
85 Dollars bought you 20 Izods
Had Afterschool specials that we actually watched
Jump rope for your heart , double dutch, hopscotch
Harlem week, Queens Day, Penn Relays
BET’s Alvin Jones the unseen VJ
Breakfast cereal, oatmeal, cream of wheat
Tests Number 2 Pencils and scantron sheets
Flavor Aid was that fake ish…never had a drink
What else do I remember?
Hmmm…lemme think
