Atmosphere: Don't forget

It was still dark when Mark arrivedMaybe 6:45 in the morning timeIn the tenth grade, we was tight friendsBut neither of us had a driver's licenseHis mom was a flight attendantAnd she'd leave town with a Cadillac unattendedSo we used to get tempted,That intense tendency to tend to what we wasn't meant toWe would skip out on class and shitTo go visit other schools, just tryin to act coolAnd looking back I have to laugh at itCause all we did was burn up gas and flunk math foolBut still it was super ill,I mean two teenagers in a new SevilleWith 1987 in the tapedeckThat was a part of my life that I'll never forgetIt went...[Chorus x2]The soundtrack still runs through my headI gotta keep every single stepAs old as we get, we don't forgetWe won't forgetWe don't forgetAnd you can't tell me nothing about frontinWe wasn't even sixteen yet, come on jump inCruise control until we lose controlMax the low end out to let it bruise my soulAnd god knows I should have been studyingSo maybe I could grow up and be somebodyBut I loved the looks that the girls shot at me from the bus stopWhen we pulled up in that caddyGood thing back then I had bad gameOtherwise there probably be a few with my last nameBetter that my true love was rapNow let it out on reverse, until the bad dub snapsFelt so right, forgot we was wrongSittin at a stop light, singin alongWhen I look in my rearview now, what would I seeIf I didn't have the music in my history, now give it to me[Chorus x2]And we was just a couple of kidsIt was right around the same time that nobody was beatin the bizHad that, and I know you got soulOn a tape that I made, recorded em off a [?] showI was addicted to the radioMake my request, and wait for itHoldin my finger on the pause button, like "now go"I guess that was the original downloadRap videos and girls digitsA fifteen pack of blank cassettes for ChristmasUsed to steal mom's change if it's easy toWe used to make up names for our graffiti crewUsed to talk about makin it bigAnd if we ever got rich, the way we would liveHey Mark, we ain't there yet butIf you can hear my voice then turn your stereo up, like what...[Chorus x2]
