(No Ratings Yet)Great track from the Prose duo.
VERSE 1:
EFEKS
- Let my tall tale begin, the school bell would ring
- They called me The Ruler, so all hail the king
- Of hip hop high, I graduated in 9-4
- Now let me recount the stuff that I saw
- Things that I did and people I knew
- Those that's still alive, and those for whom I pour my Heineken brew
- My alarm clock would sound, I'd leave in a hurry
- Always running to grab the bus with Reggie and Keith Murray
- We spent time tagging and rapping, bragging and yatting a stunt
- Reggie told me how to roll up a blunt
- By the bike sheds, caught by a Poor Righteous Teacher
- Trying to get my hands on a new jack diva
- We teased Aaliyah because she was younger
- In response she would say "age ain't nothing but a number"
- I had a crush on Mary, but wasn't her type
- In reflection these were the greatest years of my life (now)
HOOK
- "Let's take a sec to think back"
- To the year 9-4. (repeated)
VERSE 2:
EFEKS
- At night time I had Black Thoughts in my sleep
- In the morning I'd see the sun rise in the east
- And check Jeru, he lived in the equivalent of Beirut
- Praying to Jah Rastafari instead of Jesus
- Remember one time, out cutting a lesson
- Me and Buck had to duck from a black Smith n Wesson
- Stuck in a rough side of town
- Between a rock and a hard place,
- Like something from a scene from Scarface
- But we knew El and Tame, and thankfully
- I was cool with Bill and Lil Fame, the school bullies
- It's a shame, everyday was a struggle for Big
- Ever since he was 12 he had to hustle to live
- He was juggling drugs plus a couple of kids
- But I heard he got signed after serving a bid
- Craig was so busted he couldn't get girls
- So in chemistry he penned "Project: Funk The World"
HOOK
- "Let's take a sec to think back"
- To the year 9-4. (repeated)
VERSE 3:
EFEKS
- My best friend Nasir was spiritually deep
- On a park bench we would metaphysically speak
- Said, sleep was the "cousin of death"
- "Utilise every breath", his state of mind was beyond our space and time
- Word life, we had plans of revolution
- With Prince Po and Pharaoh we Organized Konfusion, was the agenda
- Shed a tear for Brenda, was hurt when they sent Tupac to young offenders
- The class clown, held back, always out last
- With the mischievous Beatnuts and Outkasts
- Respect was hard to earn, in half term
- Kriss One's philosophy was: "You must learn"
- I vibed with a Tribe and Clans of Witty Unpredictable mans
- Who had Methods of madness in their plans
- Cookery would bore me, with Pete and Corey
- And Ricky had a gift writing Children's Stories
- Pimpology with Snoop was extra curricular
- I had a couple beefs but with no one in particular
- I once had to answer to Kurious Jorge
- Cos the girl I was with said his brother used to love H.E.R.
