Remember

[Chorus]

(I remember..) Big Daddy Kane

(You've forgotten..) Salt-N-Pepa

(To remember..) Outrageous clothes

(I wonder why..) Uhh, oh

(I remember..) Heavy D

(You've forgotten..) Kool Moe Dee

(To remember..) Dope videos

(I wonder why..)

[Verse 1]

Remember the day, 'member the play, 'member the way we used to say

"Dee-dee-dee-da-di-dee-dee-dee-dee-da-di-dayyyyy"

Remember the jams, 'member the plans

'member the plans you made with your man

Maybe you can or maybe you can not

Remember the architects of hip-hop

It's really hard to forget about 2Pac

Respect is what the Crash Crew got

Better we ask you not, to recite the history of Hip-Hop on the block

You could forget about Grandmaster Flash if you try

You know not, the t'cha returns, have you forgotten?

I speak not to idle concerns, I keep it rockin

But you have forgotten I'm the holder of a boulder

Money-folder, we will be here forever, I TOLD YA!

To remind ya, just when them chrome rims blind ya

That them rims come from the expression of what's inside ya

My lyrics guide ya, and they fly too

Why don't you try to find who you rhyme through?

I think it's time to untie you

[Chorus]

(I remember..) MC Lyte

(You've forgotten..) Stetsasonic

(To remember..) Fancy bars

(I wonder why..) Oh, oh

(I remember..) Brand Nubian

(You've forgotten..) Nice & Smooth

(To remember..) Those candy cars

(I wonder why..)

[Verse 2]

Some like it slow, some like it off beat

Some like smooth jazz I like it all street

We come in all shades, like coke we always

Thinkin of more ways to leave them all dazed

All hazed, all crazed and all amazed

My last name should have been Letterman like Dave

But I wasn't his slave, I'm referrin to the way

That my lyrics behave, when I rock raves

Let off shockwaves baby it's crazy not too much can stop me

I walk right in, these other cats be knock-kneed

Terrified, they still actin all cocky

When the storm hits they be screamin "MAMI! PAPI!"

"AUNTIE! SOMEBODY!" I'm from the orthodoxy

It takes more to rock me, like in "Attack of the Clones"

These rappers be carbon copies, and they hardly got the

Flow, rhyme style sloppy and old

What's up with "The Show"?

[Chorus]

(I remember..) Public Enemy

(You've forgotten..) Dana Dane

(To remember..) Outrageous clothes

(I wonder why..) Yo, oh, oh

(I remember..) Doug E. Fresh

(You've forgotten..) Das EFX

(To remember..) Videos

(I wonder why..)

(I remember..) W-H-B-I

(You've forgotten..) KDay!

(To remember..) Outrageous clothes

(I wonder why..) Oh, oh

(I remember..) Red Alert

(You've forgotten..) Fab 5 Freddy

(To remember..) Videos

(I wonder why..)

[Outro]

Yo, oh, ah, yes, do it

Do it, ah, Mad Lion on the hookup

J Rock on the hookup

Oh, we do it just like that, just like that
