Dedicated

"That summer, the summer '88 is the best"
"But that's your nostalgia though
"'Just for the nostalgia you' you gotta say"
"That's my most nostalgic moment of hip-hop music ever"
"Right"

I'll just sit right here and sing that good old school shit to you
I won't fool you, I won't make you be my own
And oh baby you know, all that love-making we did
Boy, it was so real, I wanna feel that again
(I'll sit here and sing that good ol' old school shit)

Long lost friend from way back when (Carey like Mariah)
Eric B was president
Tell me where the melody went
And if you still care say "Yeah, yeah, yeah" (Carey like Mariah)
Sing it like they used to do
This one's from to and you, oh

La-di-la-di-da
That's how you do it
That's how to make it okay
And oh baby you know, make love
That's how you do it
Just like we did it back then
Well this is dedicated to you

I'll just sit right here and sing that good old school shit to you
I won't fool you, I won't make you be my own
Oh baby you know, all that loving-making we did
Boy, it was so real, I wanna feel that again
(I'll sit here and sing that good ol' old school shit)

And all your friends from way back then (Carey like Mariah)
Tell me can you visualize
36 Chambers high
Feels like we're there, yeah yeah yeah (Carey like Mariah)
Remix of a Fantasy, I hear 'em singing back to me like

La la-di-la-di-da (love you, baby)
That's how you do it
That's how to make it okay
And oh baby you know, make love (Carey like Mariah)
That's how you do it
Just like we did it back then
And this is dedicated to you

Nah, we don't wish today's game was old again
We just wish it wasn't full of Draconian, Babylonian, phony men
FOH my summation fascinates, we have debates
Who's the greatest living that passed away
I ask MC, see what she has to say
Eric B or Master P, some see it differently
'87 meant to me? I try to describe it, you try to relive it
I try to revive it hoping that you get it, yeah
Something about 'La Di Da Di' got inside our bodies
Something about my Adidas coming out the speakers
Used to do doo-wop or the Pee-Wee Herman
Rest in peace Heavy D, 'Moneyearnin' Mount Vernon'
Let's go

La-di-la-di-da
That's how you do it
That's how to make it okay
Oh baby you know
This is dedicated to you
This is dedicated to you

Oh baby you know
This is dedicated to you
This is dedicated to you
This is dedicated to you

Oh baby you know
This is dedicated to you
This is dedicated to you
This is dedicated to you

Oh baby you know
This is dedicated to you
This is dedicated to you
This is dedicated to you

Oh baby you know
