Remember That lyrics

Artist  : Rakim 
Song : Remember That
 


Remember that?

Turn the beat up I get lost
in the mind come across
the rhyme kick my feet
up then I find myself in time
I was on a train
destination Marley Marl's domain
I entertained
things'll never be the same
DJ's are conveyed
if the label OK it
Teddy Ted and Special K was
the first ones to play it
On the radio with
the crazy flow
I pay dues until it pays me
dough to do a show
When I'm at the helm I
cover the whole realm
In control and leave
your soul overwhelmed
Another influence of
beats and instruments
Lyrics make it intricate
and elements are tense
When you was playin Pac
Man it was the jams I packed
Peeps would swarm
when I was perform in, black I'm all that
Back
before they turned hip-hop to rap
It always a
place to party at, remember that?

I
remember the spots that used to be hot
Just
like the roof top, a place that only few can
rock
on a wild ass block, yeah you find me
there a lot
Until you hear gunshots, that's
when the fun stops
Here come the cops, time to
go home, get in order
Cause I'll be back in
Manhattan if somethings happenin at the Latin
Quarter
House of havoc when it came to
fourteen carat
And if you had it yeah kids'd
try to grab it
It's cool at the Red Parrot we
was doin it there
I was the first one to rip
it at the Union Square
Me and DJ Red Alert did
work
A crazy concert, a lot of kids got
hurt
I did encores at the Encore, they wanted
more
I kicked a freestyle til I heard the
crowd roar
Like the Funhouse, Bronx Center
never endin black
Place to be was the Brooklyn
Armory, remember that?

Remember that?
(3X)

Open the door, let the crowds in,
over twenty thousand
Wildin music's loud and
microphone's growlin
Tickets are sold out,
parties is packed and on tour
rippin
basketball arenas back then
Even afterparties,
posses of players and hotties
Everybody was
Gotti, spreadin bucks like shotties
Spendin
cash, to make a good time last
Thoughts that I
had give me a blast of the past
Memories of
unforgettable times on my mind
Dollar signs
and melodies and incredible rhymes
The people
I met, and the sets that got wrecked
All the
mics I checked, most of all life's effects
And
peace to all the people I grew up around
in
the streets back when beats had a rougher
sound
I used to be wild me and my crew sit
back and we smile
Keep piles of pictures filed
in case I go senile
Cause some things are just
too good to be forgot
Like your neighborhood
block or your favorite spot
Certain records
always seem to make me reminisce
And when it
hits, and then it clicks, remember this
My
life flashed before me I'm there from the
sounds
I hear pinpoint the year, it's
perfectly clear
I like the way it went down
and alla that, in fact
It mean a lot, cause
you can't bring it back, remember
that

Remember that? (3X)
