I remember when….
We rocked the Kangaroos with the pocket on the side
Girls Uno Dos sieta and then they played slide
Rotary Phones, Underroos, because hanes were lame
If you got served it was by LeRoy on Fame
Gold Chains, fuk bling we had three-finger rings
Lee Jeans, plus Angela Stribling on screen Scene
Ice Cream trucks made us into track stars
Bomb Pops and chocolate eclairs were like crack bars
‘member Back MARS Blackmon “It’s gotta be the shoes”
The Jordans? Red and Blacks and the Black and Blues
The Secret of the Ooze, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
They had a whole video and dance called The Urkel
All the felas had Mags on Bicycles
And the girls had all the books by Sweet Pickles
Man books?
I remember back in school
You looked forward to getting to the next one they were cool
We had:
Rockets,
Surprises,
3rd grade was Footprints
Honeycomb,
Cloverleaf,
Sunburst was my shit
Tapestry,
Windchimes
if you dont fall short?
You got the last joint the brown one called Passports
For sport I watched G.I Joe and He-Man for hours
Even caught She Ra: Princess of Power
Sour Patch Kids, NErds and Gobstoppers
Then She Bop came out made by Cyndi Lauper
Cops and Robbers, Freeze Tag, Mother may I?
Red Light – Green Light and Kick Ball was fly
My Safe-T Scissors were ill , they were orange and white
Got Mayonase jars caught lightning bugs at night
Poked holes in the top they were dead by the morning
It was Captain Kangaroo – Mr. Rogers was boring
Worthy did the scoring, Magic had the assists
Use to stand arms folded leanin like-THIS
Plus the gold ropes? Moms watched the Soaps
Louis Vutton and MCM Coats
Got a scoop of Vanilla made some Root Beer Floats
Letters from the girls, how they folded notes
When Wendy’s gave you Honey to eat with Chicken Tenders
Back when Taco Bell served fries?
I remember.
These are ridiculous. The Taco Bell close to my house served fries not too long ago. The Secret of the Ooze??? That was my shit. And those black and blue Jordans still look fire…
Now you know…
I LOOOOOVED me some Leroy!!!
DANG!!! Remember the book fairs at school!??!!? I lived for those things!!!

Man have times changed. Kids these days are missing out.
