Memory Lane (Sittin' in da Park)

Lyrics

A'ight, fuck that shit! Word, word
 Fuck that other shit, y'know what I'm sayin'?
 We gon' do a lil' somethin' like this
 Y'know what I'm sayin'? (Stay up on that shit)
 Keep it on, and on, and on, and on, and
 Know'm sayin'? Big Nas, Grand Wizard, God, what is it?
 (It's like) Haha, you know what I'm sayin'?
 Yo, go ahead and rip that shit, dun!
 I rap for listeners, bluntheads, fly ladies, and prisoners
 Henessey-holders and old-school niggas, then I be dissin' a
 Unofficial that smoke Woolie Thai
 I dropped out of Cooley High
 Gassed up by a coke-head cutie pie
 Jungle survivor, fuck who's the live-er
 My man put the battery in my back, a difference from Energizer
 Sentence begins indented with formality
 My duration's infinite, moneywise or physiology
 Poetry, that's a part of me, retardedly bop
 I drop the ancient manifested hip-hop straight off the block
 I reminisce on park jams, my man was shot for his sheep coat
 Choco blunts'll make me see him drop in my weed smoke
 It's real, grew up in trife life, did times or white lines
 The high pipes, murderous night times, the knife fights and invite crimes
 Chill on the block with Cognac, cold strapped
 With my peeps that's into drug money market interact
 No sign of the beast in the blue Chrysler
 I guess that means peace
 For niggas, no sheisty vice to just snipe ya
 Start off the dice-rollin' match, from craps to cee-lo
 With side-bets, so roll a deuce, nothin' below
 (Peace, God!) Peace, God! Now the shit is explained
 I'm takin' niggas on a trip straight through memory lane
 It's like that, y'all
 It's like that, y'all
 It's like that, y'all
 Now let me take a trip down memory lane
 Comin' outta Queensbridge
 Now let me take a trip down memory lane
 Comin' outta Queensbridge
 Now let me take a trip down memory lane
 Comin' outta Queensbridge
 Now let me take a trip down memory lane
 Comin' outta Queensbridge
 One for the money, two for pussy and foreign cars
 Three for Alizé, niggas deceased or behind bars
 I rap divine, God, check the prognosis, is it real or showbiz?
 My window faces shootouts, drug overdoses
 Live amongst no roses, only the drama
 For real, a nickel-plate is my fate, my medicine is the ganja
 Here's my basis, my razor embraces, many faces
 Your telephone blown, black, stitches or fat shoelaces
 Peoples are petro, dramatic, automatic .44, I let blow
 And back down po-po when I'm vexed, so
 My pen taps the paper, then my brain's blank
 I see dark streets, hustlin' brothers who keep the same rank
 Pumpin' for somethin', some'll prosper, some fail
 Judges hangin' niggas, uncorrect bails for direct sales
 My intellect prevails from a hangin' cross with nails
 I reinforce the frail, with lyrics that's real
 Word to Christ, a disciple of streets, trifle on beats
 I decipher prophecies through a mic and say, "Peace"
 I hung around the older crews while they sling smack to dingbats
 They spoke of Fat Cat; that nigga's name made bell rings, black
 Some fiends scream about Supreme Team, a Jamaica Queens thing
 Uptown was Alpo, son, heard he was kingpin, yo
 Fuck, rap is real! Watch the herbs stand still
 Never talkin' to snakes, 'cause the words of man kill
 True in the game, as long as blood is blue in my veins
 I pour my Heineken brew to my deceased crew on memory lane
 Now let me take a trip down memory lane
 Comin' outta Queensbridge
 Now let me take a trip down memory lane
 Comin' outta Queensbridge
 Now let me take a trip down memory lane
 Comin' outta Queensbridge
 Now let me take a trip down memory lane
 Comin' outta Queensbridge
 Comin' outta-, comin' outta-, comin' outta Queensbridge
 The most dangerous MC is
 Comin' outta-, comin' outta-, comin' outta Queensbridge
 The most dangerous MC is
 Comin' outta-, comin' outta Queensbridge
 The most dangerous MC is
 Comin' outta-, comin' outta Queensbridge
 The most dangerous MC is
 Me number one, and you know where me from
