[Verse 1: Pace Won] I'mma take you back with a heavenly rhyme To me in kindergarden back in '79 Back to the essence when hiphop was precious First I heard rappers delight, then the message When planet rock dropped I remember it was hectic The double dutch bus dropped, I bought the record Made my boys check it, the drum beat was deep Then came the fat boys and run dmc UTFO was rappin 'bout a girl Then roxanne shanté shook up the world I remember ladi dadi made me wanna party hardy We knew every word and we ain't sorry-orry No sir, the chauffeur, the greensocks Songs about being late for work had me locked Weedspots, sittin' by the radio rappin' along I'd wake up out my sleep to record that song

[Verse 2: Pace Won] Do the Pee-wee Herman, mostly thugs Would dance everytime we heard (josky love?) And latoya latoya bought this boy up Along with goya and chips ahoy (uh) 5 cent candies, they called 'em jingles Who didn't have the fewer for the flavor of some pringles? 1 cent big balls bag of cheese-doodles Too many of 'em used to make me boo-boo Swedish fish, blow-pops and chick-o-sticks All before evil chicks and ego-trips Illegal clips, rolling sacks and stolen gats Holding packs, getting jacked then owing back Getting clapped, being better off ownin' that Being better off broke with your dome intact Than somewhere rich with a hole, infact Bullet lodged in right where your colon's at

[Verse 3: Pace Won] (?) and la tigres, Le Coq Sportif had laces with shell toe Sneakers with velcro, kangaroos mark fives Navy blue puma's I used to shop at (?) square Heated juniors, clique is out frames I remember the days with the big stopwatches like flavor flaves (yeah) Nike cortez, cotler jeans reebok's and guess, helped me rock the scene It was: main source, epmd, big daddy kane, me skee & zee I remember (?) I'd turn the volume up and dance to it Drinking pina colada's from sunnydale farms I used to backspin and pop-lock my arms Style and culture molded the man Just like some pudding that you hold in your hand
